Episode Details

The Church presents again for our reading and contemplation the allegory of the vine and the branches. We underscore the statement of Jesus that without Him or without being connected to Him as a branch is to its vine, we can do absolutely nothing. Hence, we should appreciate the importance of maintaining heroically our prayer life, which is the same as maintaining a relationship with Him. This is the universal reply He makes to any of our petitions. He affords us a relationship with Him. This is extraordinary!
