Flower Arranging Demo by Richard Haslam in Gullanes on 9th May @ 8pm
Questions people ask (Fr O’Flynn – Intercom)
Q. What did Jesus mean when he said ‘you are pruned already’?
A. The vine, like many other fruit-bearing plants, receives two prunings. At the early pruning a certain number of shoots are selected for development while the remainder are lopped off. Close to harvest time, the second pruning cuts off the underdeveloped fruits to the benefit of the stronger ones. The disciples had survived the first pruning at the end of John Chapter 6 when they chose to remain with Jesus unlike those who walked away because they rejected his promise to give his flesh to eat and his blood to drink, the promise of the Eucharist
