To bear fruit

“You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you.” (J 15:3)

Pruned to bear more fruit. Pruned because of the word that Our Lord spoke to us. He takes care of my fruit and of me. Between the fruit and me is His word. My role is to take care of the word. “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you” (J 15:7). In effect, the Father will be glorified, we will bear much fruit and become His disciples. Everything because of the word that He spoke to me.

“Let my mouth be filled with your praise, that I may sing aloud; my lips shall shout for joy, when I sing to you, alleluia.” (Entrance Antiphon)
