By their fruits you will know them

“By their fruits you will know them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit.” (MT 7: 16-18)

We bring fruits. All kinds of fruits. But this is not about fruits, it is about “bear[ing] bad fruit” or “bear[ing] good fruit.” We want to be connected with Our Lord, belong to Him and remain in Him: “Whoever remains in me will bear much fruit,”good fruit.

“Remain in me, as I remain in you, says the Lord; whoever remains in me will bear much fruit.” (Gospel Acclamation)
