Olive Tree

One traditin holds that the olive tree was the tree of life planted in Eden.
Christian sentiments thinks of the cross as the tree of life that awaits us in paradise restored.
From it flows the grace of the Spirit that reaches us through God's word and all the Scaraments.
Those who sink their roots into the stream of grace bear, like the tree, life-giving fruit in prayer and in deeds of kindness, justice, and mercy for all.

Remember that if we wish anything from God
we must ask, seek, and knock.

-- Blessed Peter Favre
