Are You In Need of Pruning?

One way of ending self-deception is to step back and look at what fruit has flowed from the manner in which you have lived your life. If there is little or no good fruit evident, you are not likely a good tree. In such a case, turn to the premier Pruner, your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Allow Him to prune you of your self-centeredness and bad fruit (sin). Let Him fertilize your soul and heart with His unending fountain of graces. He is the only one Who can transform a bad tree into a good one. He is the only One who can transform us sinners into saints.

PRAYER OF ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA

"Eternal Father, all things are possible for You. Although You created us without our assistance, You will not save us unless we help.

Re-make the vessel which You created in Your own image and likeness. Bring them back to Your grace through the grace and blood of You Son, the beloved Jesus Christ."
