Glory to you, O LORD
JESUS SAID to his disciples: “I am the true vine, and my
Father is the vine grower. 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. You are already pruned because of the
word that I spoke to you. 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.
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. 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. If you
remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever
you want and it will be done for you. By this is my Father
glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.
The Gospel of the Lord.
All: Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.
