Gospel – John 15:1-8
Jesus said to his disciples:
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower.
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower.
2 He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and every one that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit.
3 You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you.
4 Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me.
5 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.
6 Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned.
7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you.
8 By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.”
Picture
A picture of a large walled rampart, in the middle was a large vine its roots were deeply planted. Jesus was stood on the rampart looking to the distance and coming toward the rampart was an army that had already tried to expunge all traces of God’s Vine throughout the World.
Jesus raised His Hand and took from His mouth a two edged sword and raised it high at which an Army of Light appeared in the sky, The light was so bright it made the marauders blind and they ran in confusion not knowing where they were, the Army of Light rounded them up and drove them into the Abyss.
Jesus looked at the World that they had tried to ruin and His people whom they had tried to persecute and kill, His Heart was full for His people. He turned to the vine knowing that its roots could not be killed or ruined, and the vine seemed to go throughout the world pushing up shoots in every country, strong and healthy and the people once again worked on the vines and produced the best wine.
“My Children
The Vine is My Son, your are grafted onto this Vine and nothing can come between you and My Son, you are His Body, His Church, no matter what is sent against Him and His Church it will stand for My Son’s Church and its true teachings stand on solid ground and it’s roots can never be expunged, for My Son is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and all life flows from Him to you His People, You My Children are part of His Body and like the True Vine He nurtures you and guards you.

You may look around and think how bad things are but you must remember that He will never leave you an orphan, His love overcomes all deceptions and tragedy.
My Children do not loose heart you are so loved, keep the Faith, keep up your prayer and sacrifice, do not loose Hope, Trust In Him who is Love personified, pray for those who’s Faith is weak, all will be well, if you feel desolate look to My Son’s Cross and this will keep you focused on the right path and in His Divine Will.

"It is natural enough that we should pray for what we want, always keeping in mind that the real meaning of any petition is to be given grace to accept what happens. Sometimes we can see for ourselves that what appears disastrous, the very thing we did not want, turns out to be a blessing" Sister Wendy Beckett, Sister Wendy on Prayer
