The Pleasure of Prayer

• "I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you're
  joined with me and I with you, the relation
  intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be
  abundant. Separated, you can't produce a thing.
  Anyone who separates from me is deadwood,
  gathered up and thrown on the bonfire. But if you
  make yourselves at home with me and my words are
  at home in you, you can be sure that whatever you
  ask will be listened to and acted upon. This is
  how my Father shows who he iswhen you produce
  grapes, when you mature as my disciples.
