Our wonderful young new priest gave a lovely homily about these nuns today and discussed the pruning of the vine to make it stronger.

In this case, I think an analogy of removing noxious weeds to keep it from choking and killing the vine would be more appropriate.

He’s a new priest already facing a lot of hurdles in a dying church. He has to tread carefully. He’s shaking things up all over the place. It makes my heart swell that there are good young men filling in for the aging hippy priests I grew up with.
