  of vitamin or prayer, together with Francisco Hermengol, a brief spiritual biblical reflection
• 0:30
  capsules that entertain, teach and lift the soul. Good morning, Fifth Sunday
• 0:40
  of Easter and we read the Gospel of John. At that time Jesus said
• 0:47
  to his disciples. I am the true vine and my father is the farmer.
• 0:54
  Every branch that does not bear fruit in me is plucked up and pruned
• 0:58
  to everyone who bears fruit so that it may bear more fruit. You are
• 1:03
  already cleansed by the words that I have spoken to you abide in me and
• 1:07
  I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it
• 1:11
  abides in the vine, neither can you. If you don' t stay
• 1:17
  in me. I am the vine and you are the branches that remain in
• 1:22
  me and I in him. It bears abundant fruit, for without me you
• 1:26
  can do nothing. He who does not remain in me is thrown out like
• 1:32
  a branch and dried up. Then they gather them and cast them into the
• 1:37
  fire and burn if you remain in me and my words remain in you.
• 1:42
  Ask for what you desire and it will be done. With this he receives
• 1:47
  Gloria, my father, with which you bear abundant fruit. Thus will you
• 1:52
  be my disciples who have been able to say goodbye to a loved one before
• 1:57
  his death. He knows that deep and sincere conversations can take place at that
• 2:04
  time. The gospel we read today happens during the last supper. Aware that
• 2:12
  he has only a few hours to live in this world, Jesus joins with
• 2:15
  his apostles and wants to give them a spiritual legacy, a central message that
• 2:23
  he does not want them to forget. And for this he uses an allegory,
• 2:28
  the allegory of the VID and the branches. Let us try to deepen
• 2:32
  the meaning of this allegory. The branch is the branch of the vine strain.
• 2:39
  It comes from the VID and is born from it, but it is
• 2:44
  not from the VID where the leaves and clusters sprout, but from the branch.
• 2:47
  The branches that sprout every year from the trunk carry within them. The
• 2:53
  same vital fluids in the trunk carry the same life and therefore produce leaves and
• 3:00
  clusters. The image chosen by Jesus to explain his relationship with his disciples,
• 3:07
  that is, with us, taken from nature and wine. It is an
• 3:12
  absolute novelty of Christianity with regard to other spiritualitys. All other religions have teachers
• 3:19
  and disciples, but something unique happens with Jesus. Our relationship with him is
• 3:28
  not a student student disciple relationship, where there is simply an assimilation of doctrine
• 3:36
  and imitation of conduct, but we participate organically in it, we are rooted
• 3:44
  in it. His divine life is within us. Then, if his life
• 3:50
  is within us, the phrase of St Paul in the Letter to the Galatians
• 3:54
  is true. It is Christ who lives in me I believe that if we
• 4:00
  do enough silence and pay attention, we can all hear the voice of Jesus
• 4:06
  in our hearts and experience his company, as we enter into ourselves to pray
• 4:14
  we find Christ, who lives within us. Dialogue with him is not spiritual
• 4:18
  schizophrenia, but prayer. It is intimacy with God, union with him.
• 4:25
  But this intimacy is not a union that implies the dissolution of our ego,
• 4:30
  as if it were then an illusion from which one must detach itself, as
• 4:34
  Hinduism and Buddhism affirm, but that our ego, which is the branch,
• 4:40
  finds its reason to be the efficient cause of its existence in the life given
• 4:45
  to it by the vine The experience of unity is for all spiritual traditions the
• 4:49
  culmination of its purposes and desires. All desire to unite with divinity or with
• 4:58
  the divis principle The human being captures within himself that desire for union with the
• 5:03
  divine. Well, Jesus reveals to us that this union does not involve the
• 5:10
  dissolution of the self, but rather the fullness of the Self. And Jesus
• 5:15
  say the Gospel remain in me the verb manein translated as remaining has the connotation
• 5:23
  of being rooted. The branches are nothing without the vine. They can'
• 5:29
  t do anything without her. They need to be rooted in it in order
• 5:33
  to bear fruit. A branch can bear fruit only if the strength and life
• 5:38
  of the VID flow through it. What makes the fruits ripen is the strength
• 5:43
  of the vine, not the effort of the branches. The branches are mere
• 5:47
  channels of life, not source of it. If we are the branches and
• 5:54
  want to bear fruit, our attention should not be directed so much to the
• 6:00
  fruits, but to the vine, precisely the vine applied this, to the
• 6:05
  spiritual life, we can say that our attention should always be to relate more
• 6:12
  to Jesus and not so much to focus on seeing the ripening of the fruits,
• 6:17
  that is, our personal spiritual growth. We run the risk of focusing
• 6:23
  so much our attention on our own growth that we neglect the source of such
• 6:30
  growth, and this is the organic principle of spiritual life. Let that divine
• 6:33
  life that we have within us act in us and the vine that is Jesus
• 6:39
  gives to the branches that we are, his own life, his same attitudes,
• 6:46
  his same feelings, his same way of living, of relating, of
• 6:50
  acting. As Saint Paul says, it is Christ who lives in me.
• 6:57
  We are called to bear fruit, but what kind of fruit, a material
• 7:01
  fruit, an accountable fruit. I believe that, being God Love, the
• 7:09
  fruits to which Jesus refers are the fruits of love, the fruits of the
• 7:13
  holy spirit that is the love of God, and these fruits are mentioned by
• 7:17
  St Paul in the Letter to the Galatians, Charity, Love, Joy,
• 7:24
  Peace, Patience, Longsuffering, Kindness, Kindness, Meekness, Faithfulness, Modesty,
• 7:35
  Continence and Purity. We are called to the love of God, the
• 7:40
  wisdom that comes from the vine to produce our life. The branches, those
• 7:46
  fruits, finally, there is a phrase in this very attractive gospel that can
• 7:51
  be misinterpreted. Ask what you want and it will be given to you?
• 7:57
  All of us in our human experience have asked God for many things and are
• 8:03
  not always given to us. Then Jesus manipulates and deceives us. Let'
• 8:09
  s contextualize this sentence of ask what you want and it will be given to
• 8:13
  you? Jesus says, if you remain in me and my words remain in
• 8:18
  you. Ask there yes, whatever you want and it will be done when
• 8:24
  my heart, the branch is full of the life that provides me. The
• 8:28
  vine will not break between desire and reality, because it would have learned to
• 8:35
  desire what God wants to give me for my good. Last and true I
• 8:39
  will have learned well to wish. Today is a day to look inside and
• 8:45
  rediscover the life with capital that the vine provides us and thus bear fruit of
• 8:52
  love that God bless you enjoy freshly baked potatoes, crispy and with spices,
