CONTEMPLATE THE GOSPEL

“By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit”
Today, the Gospel presents the allegory of the vine and the branches. Christ is the true vine, we are the branches, and the Father is the vine grower. The Father wants us to bear much fruit. It is quite logical. The vine grower plants his vine so that it bears much fruit. If we start a business, we want it to be productive. Jesus insists: "It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain" (Jn 15:16). You have been chosen. God has set His sight on you. Through Baptism He has grafted you onto the true vine that is Christ. You have the life of Christ, the Christian life. You own the main element for bearing fruit: your union with Christ, because "a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine" (Jn 15:4). Jesus states it emphatically: "Apart from me you can do nothing" (Jn 15:5). "His strength is only gentleness; nothing is so tender as this, and nothing like this so firm" (Saint Francis de Sales). How many things have you wanted to do without Christ? The fruit that the Father expects from us is that of good deeds and the practice of virtues. What is the union with Christ that makes us capable of bearing this fruit? Faith and charity, that is, remaining in God's grace. When you live in grace, all acts of virtue are fruits pleasing to the Father. They are works that Jesus Christ does through you. They are works of Christ that give glory to the Father and become heaven for you. It is worth living always in God's grace! "Anyone who does not remain in me [because of sin] will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned" (Jn 15:6). This is a clear reference to hell. Are you like a branch full of life? May the Virgin Mary help us to increase the grace so that we can bear much fruit to the glory of the Father.
Fr. Joan MARQUÉS i Suriñach (Vilamarí, Girona, Spain)

Prayer for a
Spiritual Communion
By St. Alphonse Liguori
I believe, my Jesus,
that you are real
and truly in heaven
and in the Blessed
Sacrament of the Altar.
I love you above all things
and I wish to welcome you
inside my soul,
but not being able to do it
now sacramentally,
come at least spiritually
to my heart. And as if I have
Received I hug you and I joy
you completely.
Lord, don't let me never turn away from You. Amen

Oración para una
Comunión
Espiritual por San
Alfonso de Ligorio
Creo, Jesús mío, que estás real y verdaderamente en el cielo y en el Santísimo Sacramento del Altar.
Os amo sobre todas las cosas y deseo vivamente recibirte dentro de mi alma, pero no pudiendo hacerlo ahora sacramentalmente, venid al menos espiritualmente a mi corazón. Y como si ya os hubiese recibido, os abrazo y me uno del todo a Ti.
Señor, no permitas que jamás me aparte de Ti. Amén
