O Come Root of Jesse

"O Root of Jesse, A Symbol to the World"

December 19 - Third Antiphon

Today's antiphon comes from Isaiah 11:1 and 10. 

But it also calls to mind John 15:1-17 and Matthew 7:15-20. 

Are we offshoots of the True Vine bearing and sharing good fruit or are we like wolves in sheep's clothing offering bad fruit to those around us?
