I am the vine, you are the branches. When you are baptized, Christ is planted in your heart like a vine.
Vines require a great deal of care.
The ground beneath the vine must be clean and void of all debris. Your heart must be free of all refuse, clutter, litter, and confusion. The soil has to be prepared very thoroughly. In our nation the school systems and the entire educational process has been brought to trial, because the good earth of a pure child's heart has been polluted by every sort of banality, rudeness, triviality and idiocy in the name of learning. The two horrors, sex and violence, sum up the situation rather well.
