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

Beautiful. Thank you. Something to ponder over. ~Amy
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Amy!
DeleteGreat quote. That's a marvellous picture. Did you paint it?
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
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!
DeleteOh, that quote is just so lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Monica. I love the "gems" of St. Francis de Sales!
