St. Josemaria Institute Podcast

In this reflection from Fr. Peter Armenio, priest of Opus Dei, we are invited to contemplate the “workshop for the first evangelization” and learn how Jesus prepared the first disciples to go out into the world as his witnesses. “Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing” (John 15:4-5).Using the image of the vine and branches, Jesus illustrates how remaining in him is the only way to become fruitful witnesses and to be his friends. And, to remain in Jesus, as Fr. Peter explains, “implies a constant union with him”, especially through the Holy Eucharist and prayer.Support the showTHANK YOU FOR LISTENING!Let us know that our podcast is important to you: Share your favorite episodes with others and leave us a rating or review.
