Jesus uses a beautiful imagery from his surrounding to highlight the
process of communion that is possible between He and a disciple and its
outcome. The credit of the fruit bearing activity does not solely depend on
branch alone but the vine. It is the vine that nourishes every branch and
leaves through an inflow of life giving elements. A true disciple is to
understand this fact that his/ her origin, existence and identity is in God. When
we bear fruit - on the basis of the principles ‘love of God and neighbour’- we
are in fact reflecting the nature of God.
Whether are aware or not the Holy Spirit resides in each of us and
replenishes our soul. The call of the hour may be to awaken ourselves to this
reality that God is active and alive in us. ‘Walking in God consciousness’ at every moment
and treasuring the word of God within will indeed find results in communion
with God, neighbour, oneself and nature (by s. Jessy Paul SSpS).
