The Vine and the Branches

Ika-lima na Linggo sa Pasko ng Pagkabuhay
(Mula sa Ebanghelyo ni San Juan 15:1-8)


Our passage for today contains many symbols which are perhaps the richest and most meaningful in the bible. Here, Jesus calls himself as the the vine and He refers to the Father as the vine grower. His disciples are the branches and His Liturgy of Word as the fruit.

Jesus says that branches that don't bear fruit will be eventually cut off from the vine. This means that people that don't listen to His words; people who refuse to follow His examples will be eventually cut off from Him.
