Religion has a special role in this regard, for it teaches people that authentic service requires sacrifice and self-discipline, which in turn must be cultivated through self-denial, temperance and a moderate use of the world's goods.

Si el fruto que debemos producir es el amor, una condición previa es precisamente este «permanecer», que tiene que ver profundamente con esa fe que no se aparta del Señor. En Jn 15,7 se habla de la oración como un factor esencial de este permanecer.
