Bloom With the Spirit:

A life sharing the fruits of the spirit with the world is whole, holy and a healing balm. Within each of us are moments of peace, kindness, generosity, forgiveness and faithfulness. In order for our life to fully bloom with graces of the Holy Spirit, we know that time must be spent in prayer, silence and communion with God.

Actions speak louder than words; let your words teach and your actions speak. We are full of words but empty of actions, and therefore are cursed by the Lord, since he himself cursed the fig tree when he found no fruit but only leaves. It is useless for a man to flaunt his knowledge of the law if he undermines its teaching by his actions.

- Saint Anthony of Padua (1195-1232)
