One Golden Apple


Why should we refuse to give Him
 the apple which we hold in our hands,
 and which He asks from us so often;
that is to say, our heart, 
the one golden apple
that our Divine Savior requires of us?
                                                                                            St. Francis de Sales

    1. Oooh, I wish. There was a time loooooong ago when I did paint, and actually loved to do shining apples (I'd forgotten that until just now) - maybe that's why I loved this painting the minute I found it in public domain. I'd forgotten to credit the artist. Thanks, Victor!
