11. The Lord also teaches that those who are in heaven and in the Church are in the Lord and the Lord is in them, when He says:
Abide in Me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself except it abide in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in Me. I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in Me and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit, for without Me, ye can do nothing. John xv. 4, 5.
