 “Abide in me, and I in you”,  John 15:1-8

  

Here is a simple a truth.

We are either fruit-bearing or non-fruit-bearing. There is no in-between.

 

However, the bearing of healthy fruit requires drastic pruning. The Lord promises that we will bearmuch fruit if we abide in him and allow him to purify us.

Like St Joseph let us trust in the Lord's abiding presence with us, as we perform, our daily tasks.

 

Father, may we be one with you in all that we say and do. Draw us close that we may glorify you and bear fruit for your kingdom, through Christ our Lord.
