St. Mary’s School – St. Mary’s Message
June 7, 2019
|
“Remain in me, and I will remain in you. A branch cannot produce fruit alone but must remain in the vine.” |
God wants to be as close to us as a branch is to aa vine. One is an extension of the other! The branch isn’t only connected at the moment of bearing fruit. The gardener doesn’t keep the branches in a box and then, on the day he wants grapes, glue them to the vine. No, the branch constantly draws nutrition from the vine… God didn’t come and go, appear and disappear. HE was a permanent present, always available. We are NEVER away from God! |
