The Pope vs The President (Remain in Jesus)

What needs to be pruned in your life? How can we debate real moral issues while keeping our focus on Christ? These are just a few of the questions Fr. Michael tackles in today's gospel.

The reading John 15:1–8

Jesus said to his disciples:

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower.

He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit,

and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit.

You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you.

Remain in me, as I remain in you.

Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own

unless it remains on the vine,

so neither can you unless you remain in me.

I am the vine, you are the branches.

Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit,

because without me you can do nothing.
