"I am the vine, and our are the branches. Those who remain in me and I in them, will bear much fruit." ~ John 15:5

A popul ar tradition concerns a Greek slave, named Aesop. Like Jesus, he used sto ries to teach people, especially small children. One of his stories is abo ut a man who had several sons who were always fighting among themselves. On e day he called them together and set in front of them a bundle of branches . Then he invited each son to try to break the bundle in half.
Of course, none of them could break the bundle. But when the father unti ed the bundle and gave the branches - one by one - to the sons. to break, they broke them with ease. The father then made his point:
"My sons, if you remain united, you will be able to withstand any enemy. If you do not remain united, any enemy will be able to defeat you." ~ Mark Link, S.J.< br>
How am I contributing to the unity of the Council?

"If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts suffer w...

"How wonderful it is, how pleasant, for God's people to li ve together in harmony!" ~ Psalm 133:1

Jerry Kramer was a star m ember of the legendary Green Bay Packers. In his best-selling book, Ins tant Replay, he describes his feelings after a big win. We rushed to t he locker room...shouting and absolutely floating. "Magnificent"' Coach Lom bardi said... He couldn't finish the sentence.... Tears started trickling d own his cheek. He just knelt down crying, and led us in the Our Father. .. The guys walked around the room, hugging each other... I felt so go od. I felt so proud, proud of myself and proud of my teammates and proud o f my coaches... It sent a beautiful shiver up my back. ~ Mark Link, S.J.

"Jesus said, "What is humanly impossible is possible for Go d." ~ Luke 18:27

Robert E. Sherwood was a speechwriter for Presi dent Franklin Roosevelt. He also won the Pulitzer Prize in drama three time s. On on e occasion - mustering all the drama at his command - he said we m ust dedicate ourselves to two objectives: the achievement of world peace an d the affirmation of the right of every person to live as the image of God. He added, "To those who say that these unlimited objectives are unthinkab le, impossible, let us reply that it is the alternative to them which is unthinkable, impossible."

He concluded by calling upon America to d edicate itself to the achievement of these unlimited objectives as boldly a nd as confidently as our forefathers, "who proved that.... nothing underta ken by free men and free women is impossible." ~ Mark Link, S.J.

"My son, your sins are forgiven." ~ Mark 2:5

Har old Hughes described himself as "a drunk, a liar, and a cheat." He was so convinced he'd never change that he decided to end it all. At that moment , however, he remembered enough from the Bible to realize that to take one 's life was wrong. So he knelt down sobbing and explained to God why he was going to end it all. Suddenly, something happened that he never experienc ed before in his life. He wrote later:
"God was reaching down and touchi ng me. Like a stricken child lost in a storm, I suddenly stumbled into the warm hands of my Father. Joy filled me, so intense it seemed to burst my breast..." Ten years later, Harold Hughes was elected governor of Iowa. ~ Mark Link, S.J.

"I have swept away your sins like a cloud,
C omeback to me; I am the one who saves you." ~ ...

"Happy is the person who remains faithful under trials." ~ < /i>James 1:12

It was the first year for canoe racing in the 1924 Oly mpics. Bill Havens was on the four-man team to represent the U.S. in Paris. But as that time for departure neared, it was clear that his wife would g ive birth to their first child while he was away. Bill hesitated. His wife insisted that he go. But the more Bill thought about it, the more he felt his priorities lay with his wife and their first child. An alternate member took Bill's place.

The team went to Paris and won the gold. Meanwhile, Bill's wife was late in giving birth to a boy, whom they would name Frank. Bill never mentioned his disappointment in missing out on the Olympics.

In 1952, Bill got a cable from Helsinki, where the Olymp ics were going on It read:

I'm bringing home
the gold medal you lost
while waiting for me to be born." ~ Fran k
