Strive
to be first: first to nod, first to smile, |
It may be nice to be important but it is more important to be nice. |
No man can think clearly with his fists clenched. |
Second
Reading John 3:18-24
My children, our love is not to be just words or mere talk, but something real
and active; only by this can we be certain that we are the children of the truth
and be able to quieten our conscience in his presence, whatever accusations it
may raise against us, because God is greater than our conscience and he knows
everything. My dear people, if we cannot be condemned by our own conscience, we
need not be afraid in God's presence, and whatever we ask him, we shall receive,
because we keep his commandments and live the kind of life that he wants. His
commandments are these: that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and
that we love one another as he told us to. Whoever keeps his commandments lives
in God and God lives in him. We know that he lives in us by the Spirit that he
has given us.
Gospel
John 15:1-8
Jesus
said to his disciples "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit he cuts away, and every branch that does
bear fruit he prunes to make it bear even more. You are pruned already, by means
of the word that I have spoken to you. Make your home in me, as I make mine in
you. As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself, but must remain part of the
vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him, bears fruit in plenty; for cut off from
me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is like a branch that
has been thrown away - he withers; these branches are collected and thrown on
the fire, and they are burnt. If you remain in me and my words remain in you,
you may ask what you will and you shall get it. It is to the glory of my Father
that you should bear much fruit, and then you will be my disciples.".
