In this homily on the Fifth Sunday after Easter, The Rev. Janet Richardson, Assistant to the Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, unpacks the meaning of Jesus’ message to his disciples by looking at various definitions of the words he uses. She notes that Jesus provides these parting words to his disciples to comfort them and to support their work once he has departed. The analogy between grapevines and our relationship to God shows the love and care God has for us and how we can become productive branches.
