St. Ignatius of Loyola learned to find fruit, that is, the effect or consequence of action. More important than our actions is the action of God in, with and for humans. One grows to find fruit and to offer it the more one savors one's own life and all creation. I hope my posts help you feel that finding fruit is a profitable way of living.

Why Not Without a More Positive Effect?
"The problem is not that Catholicism has failed, but that authentic Catholicism has never been tried." This is the answer to the question John L. Allen Jr. asked in last Friday's column entitled "Why hasn't Catholicism had a more positive effect"? His lens is Honduras, and his column is revealing.
It also reminds us this Holy Week that Jesus did not avoid struggle and difficulty. To call ourselves Christian means to model our lives on his.
