"He who abides in me and in whom I abide, that one bears much fruit" 

A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To John (15, 1-8) 

At that time, Jesus was saying to his disciples: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vineyard. Every branch which is in me, but which does not bear fruit, my Father takes away; every branch which bears fruit, he purifies it by pruning it, so that it bears more. But you, already here you are purified thanks to the word which I spoke to you. Remain in me, as I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself if it does not abide on the vine, so neither can you, if you do not abide in me.

I am the vine and you are the branches. He who abides in me and in whom I abide, that one bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me, he is, like the branch, thrown out, and he withers. The dry branches are picked up, thrown into the fire, and they burn. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you want, and it will come true for you. What brings glory to my Father is that you bear much fruit and that you are my disciples. " 

The Gospel of the Lord.
