James Alberione on the Olive Tree:“…But if you take a graft of a good plant and place it on the plant that was wild, then this plant will produce more abundant and tastier fruits being: you, an olive tree, that is, a wild olive, you have been grafted with good grafting, a grafting of a holy olive. It is the Host, this graft. And then, through this grafting, our life will be transformed and will produce very different flowers and fruits: thoughts always conformed to Jesus; and sentiments always conforming to Jesus; and life always in conformity with Jesus. Here is the great benefit of communion.” STAY IN TOUCH WITH US!Twitter: @DaughterStPaul and @PBMPublishingInstagram: @DaughterStPaul and @PaulineBooksAndMediaYouTube.com/daughterstpaul Sr. Orianne Pietra René – InstagramSr. Julie Marie Benedicta – TwitterSr. Carly Paula — Instagram Thank you for listening.
