THE FRUIT

Let Your Light Shine

It shouldn't be surprising that those who devote their lives "to the teaching of the Apostles," and to "meditating on the Law of the Lord day and night," should bear fruit in kind, "30... 60... 100-fold." When seed "falls on good soil," Jesus teaches, it "bears fruit." "By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples." (Jn15:8) Further, "Every good tree bears good fruit." (Mt7:17) The Fruit of St. Benedict's Farm Much of our fruit remains hidden until Judgment, but not all of it should! For we read: "No one who lights a lamp hides it away or places it under a bushel basket, but on a lampstand so that those who enter might see the light." (Lk11:33) Further: "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify our Father in Heaven." We consider "our fruits" under 4 headings: Life Witness, Service, Music, Writings.
