Fr. Christopher Panagoplos, TOR, explores the implications of Jesus’ identity as life-giving vine,

“The true vine of God—true life—is Jesus who with His sacrifice of love gives us salvation, opens to us the way to be part of this vine.  And as Jesus remains in the love of God the Father, we too, wisely pruned by the word of the Master, if we remain profoundly united in Him, we become fruitful branches that bear an abundant harvest.”
