“So we see that the old tree, transplanted to new ground, maintained its growth. That growth was influenced, of course by new conditions but it survived the storms and winters of its new environment. By its inner vitality and the care of the Heavenly Gardener, it struck its roots deep into the new soil. At times, the storms tore off a branch here and there, and its life was threatened, but the old trunk could not be destroyed. It put forth new shoots and its branches spread wider than ever before. And now it stands, not the least among the noble trees in the green garden of the Church.”
Bl. Titus Brandsma
