Sharing the Gospel When you go into a strange place, you like to stay close to your parents. You trust them to keep
you safe. Jesus wants you to stay close to him every day. Jesus is your vine. You are one of his
branches. Learn his teachings and obey them. When you stay close to Jesus and follow his com-
mandments, you can pray for whatever you want, and God the Father will answer your prayers. Put
a brand new light bulb in a lamp. Turn the lamp on. It shines brightly. Now, unplug the lamp. The
lamp goes dark. It might be a nice lamp. It might have a new light bulb. Yet, without being plugged
in to electricity, the lamp cannot shine. In today's Gospel, Jesus is the vine and you are a branch.
As long as you are attached to Jesus, your faith can grow fruit like love, kindness and gentleness.
If you break away from Jesus, your faith will die, and you will not grow any fruit. Stay plugged in
to Jesus, so you can shine. Stay connected to Jesus, so your faith can grow fruit.
Prayer
Jesus, help me stay close to You and follow Your commandments. Amen.
Something to Draw
Draw a picture of Jesus as a vine, your family and friends as the branches.
