Monday Prayer:
Lord Jesus, as you have said that you are the vine and your faithful disciples the branches, so I worship you, True Vine. I will to remain fruitfully, faithfully joined to you, Head and Body, today. As you have given the command to love one another, I pray your love will remain in me and your Spirit will love through me, that my life may be a fruitful extension of your love. Praise to you, Lord Jesus, source of life and love. Amen.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower…. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing…. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love…. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. — Jesus (John 15:1, 5, 8-9, 12)
