Reflection
Lord, you said: “I am the vine you are the branches. Separated from me you can do nothing but united with me you will bear much fruit.”
Thank you, Lord for the bond you formed with us and thank you for the bond that exists among us because of our union with you. Thanks to this bond we have invisible riches to share with one another. Grant that we may never be separated from you, so that we may produce in the world the fruits of faith, hope and love.
