The vocation of the branches to bear much fruit
Call
The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes speak of God’s love, of truth and goodness, grace and freedom; they are necessary to enter into Christ’s Kingdom; the disciples need to stay close to Jesus as He ensured His closeness.
Perseverance and a sense of great responsibility are required.
The psalmist invokes the caring presence of the Father, Who takes care of His vineyard.
The image of the vine and the branches calls to grow, mature and bear much fruit, with the vitality of those who remain in Jesus.
