We love the image of the vine and the branches. We love to think of receiving our life-fluid from the vine, Jesus; we love being united closely to him. However, with this union, comes a responsibility, as Pope Francis has written: "We are people chosen for the truth, and our call has to be in truth. There can be no place for deceit, hypocrisy, or small-mindedness if we are branches of that vine, if our vocation is grafted onto Jesus. We must be careful that every branch fulfills its purpose: to bear fruit. Am I willing to bear fruit? (cf. Magnificat, April, 2018, pp. 422-423)
