5th Sunday of Easter
I am the Vine
You are the branches
Trust in God.
Every form of trust implies a source of reliance or dependence. Children trust their parents. Authority and trust are not merely associated as a glove is to a hand but are inseparably linked as are fingers to the hand. That closeness or necessary proximity also exists with authority and trust.
We only trust a person or institution that bears the hallmark of authentic authority. The greater the voice of authority the more likely one is to trust, listen and obey. But do people trust the Church today? Does the Church still have authority? Our ability to trust the Church teachings – for we may not always trust its people – is based not on feelings but hard facts. The more one studies Church history the more Catholic one becomes. When one studies the trials and tribulations of the Church over the centuries then one becomes more convinced that this Church is not of human origin or design but actually divine.
