“Remain in me, as I remain in you.” - JOHN 15:4
Jesus clearly tells us how to do this in our Gospel, as He says, “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.” We remain in Christ by staying faithful to His commandments and frequent reception of the sacraments. As we begin this week, two questions for reflection: ‘how is God bearing fruit in my life?’ and ‘have I invited the Holy Spirit to work in my life?’ Our answers will reveal where we might more fully invite the Lord into our journey.

That invitation might include a prayer of thanksgiving, smiling at those we encounter each day, and simply asking God to be with us as we begin our day. To remain in Christ means, in all that we do, we do it with the Lord. Amen.
