Whoever Remains in Me and I in him Will Bear Much Fruit
Published 1 year ago
Description
The Lord reveals to us a physical image about a supernatural reality. The allegory is the vine and its branches. He is the vine and we are the branches. It is clear that being connected to the vine will keep us the branches alive and fruitful. Not only that. Those that are fruitful are pruned by the vine dresser so that we bear more fruit. That means that God subjects us to tests, pain, suffering etc. in the fulfillment of our ordinary duties. In this way, we never stagnate and remain the same. If we do, then that'd mean we are retrogressing in life. Life grows continuously. Our supernatural life of grace needs to be constantly nourished for it to grow and develop.
