Mindful of my imperfections, seeking to know Truth more deeply and to live Love more fully.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus? Cum vix iustus sit securus?
Recordare, Iesu pie, Quod sum causa tuae viae: Ne me perdas illa die...

What fruit do you produce?

Jesus said to his disciples:
"A good tree does not bear rotten fruit,
nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit.
For every tree is known by its own fruit.
For people do not pick figs from thornbushes,
nor do they gather grapes from brambles.

"A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart
produces good,
but an evil person out of a store of evil
produces evil;
for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.

"Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,'
but not do what I command?"
Luke 6:43-46
