BEAR FRUIT!
This title has nothing to do with gardening as we know it, but everything to do with the way we should be living our lives.
In today's Gospel, Jesus tells us that we do this by âsticking' close to Him; by being His personal friend. If we remain with Him in the good times as in the bad, we can be transformed by His presence.
"Remain in me, and I will remain in you" .John 15:4
The fruitfulness of our lives will be evident not so much in what we say as in what we do. Love in action, reaching out into the margins of our community, bringing the message of Jesus that:
"... apart from me you can do nothing" Jn 15:5

Don't waste time waiting for inspiration.
