Today marks May 6, 2026, falling on the Wednesday of the Fifth Week of Easter. The focus of the Daily Gospel is a profound teaching from Jesus.
Gospel Reading: John 15:1-8
In this passage, Jesus declares, 'I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower.' He explains the importance of spiritual connection, urging his disciples to remain in him.
Jesus continues, stating that branches that do not bear fruit are removed, while those that do are pruned to enhance their yield. This metaphor highlights the need for believers to stay connected to him for spiritual growth.
He reassures them, 'You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you.' This emphasizes the transformative power of his teachings.
The message culminates in a powerful reminder: 'If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you.'
'By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.'
John 15:8
