The Rosewood of the Mariposa Gove of YosemiteNational Park has a history of about 1800 years on the earth. Does this tree have something to say to the present humanity? We see so many trees around us in our day today life. Have we given attention to these trees or what they are trying to say? Each tree may teach us a lesson. Each tree has roots and wings. It reminds us two important aspect of our spiritual life. Like roots, each one has to deepen our relation with Christ. Like the spreading wings, each one has to be a wing to the other.
Like the roots, how can we deepen our relation with Christ? It is always happening by keeping an ardent desire to be with Christ. Like the root that search for water and manure for its growth, in every moment, we need to search for the possibilities to receive graces and blessings from Christ for our growth. The wings of a tree are many times wings of human life too. The shade, protection and fruits are some of the benefits other receives from a tree. Like that, each one is called to be a wing to the other.It is interesting to think, what kind of wings each one should be? The compassion and love of Jesus to the humanity, led Him to be with human being and instituted the Church. Today the Church is protecting her children with compassion through teachings and guidelines. Therefore the driving force behind our acts must be love and compassion. Let us remember the words of Bl. Mother Teresa, “It is not how much you do, but how much love you put into the doing matters”. So let us be rooted in Chris to grow in faith for the goodness of the humanity.
God bless us always, for we are of His.
what we need is to prepare ourselves to recieve His blessings
