  I am the vine, you are the branches… May 10, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Our Gospel for today speaks of the way in which we must stay attached to Jesus, as our source of life, just as the branches of a grape plant must stay attached to the vine. All life courses through the vine into the branches. We need Jesus for life! That is why Our Lady has come. To reattach us to the vine, her Son. She wants us to live and grow in Jesus. 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.” (John 15:1-8) I thought it would be good to pray the Jesus Rosary, a prayer that Our Lady gave the prayer group in the early days. It is a prayer that can help us to attach to the vine, Jesus! The Jesus Rosary (Given by Our Lady to Jelena) Pray the Creed 1. Mystery: Contemplate the birth of Jesus. Intention: pray for peace.
