Sr. Ann reflects on the Gospel of Jesus as the true vine and the importance of living for the kingdom of God.
In today’s Gospel Jesus declares that He is the true vine and we are the branches. If we remain in Him, we will bear much fruit. When we work for the kingdom of God, when truly and authentically live for the kingdom of God, we will bring Him glory and accomplish great things through Him.
