Totally Thine!
Not as in St. Louis Marie de Montfort’s devotion to Mary, the blessed virgin mother, but to Jesus, the Redeemer. As Jesus is the Vine and I am the branch, I cannot live without Him. From this perspective, I am grafted into the vine as the fruit-bearing branch which is totally sustained by the vine; separate from the vine, the branch dies. It’s the Christ in me that enables me to bear fruit in this life!
God first loved me. He loved me so much that He sent his Son, Jesus, to lay His life down so that I could join with Him in the resurrection life!
