Alleluia.
I chose you from the world that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, says the Lord.
Alleluia.
The Lord’s words are both a privilege and a mission. He reminds us that He has chosen us, not to live only for ourselves, but to bear fruit that will endure. The fruit He desires is seen in lives marked by faith, love, mercy, and faithful service to others.
Lasting fruit is not measured by success or recognition, but by the quiet ways we allow Christ to work through us each day. A kind word, a forgiving heart, a helping hand, and a life rooted in prayer become seeds of God’s Kingdom that continue to bless others long after we have sown them.
Today, let us remember that our calling is not simply to follow Christ, but to reflect Him, so that the fruit of our lives may lead others to His everlasting love.
