THE GOOD FRUIT FROM CHRIST THE VINE – JOHN 15:1-8

Today’s Gospel teaches that with Christ at the centre of our lives, we are connected to the source of life and nourishment and our hearts and homes bear fruit like a flourishing vine. Then we are assured of the abundant life God promises. Let us pray that our prayer and work remain bound to Christ, the True Vine.
