Word of Life – January 2021
Remain in my love: you will bear much fruit (Cf. Jn 15: 5-9)
Jesus invites us to be decisive in standing with him as we offer our lives as a gift to the Father. He suggests that we imitate him in gently meeting the needs of each person with whom we share a small or large part of our day. He asks us to do so with generosity and disinterest, in order to bear ‘much fruit’.
