Listen hard to the Gospel. Afterward, fill in the blanks in this story:

1Jesus said to his disciples:
I am the true ____________, and my Father is the gardener. 2He cuts away every ___________ of mine that doesn't produce _______. But he trims clean every _________ that does produce _________, so that it will produce even more fruit. 3You are already clean because of what I have said to you.
4Stay joined to me, and I will stay joined to you. Just as a _________ cannot produce _________ unless it stays joined to the vine, you cannot produce _________ unless you stay joined to me. 5I am the _________, and you are the _________. If you stay joined to me, and I stay joined to you, then you will produce lots of _________. But you cannot do anything without me. 6If you don't stay joined to me, you will be thrown away. You will be like dry _________ that are gathered up and burned in a fire.
7Stay joined to me and let my teachings become part of you. Then you can _________ for whatever you want, and your prayer will be answered. 8When you become _________ disciples of mine, my _________ will be honored.
