Section 1: Gardening Quote of the Day:

"The growth of all the plants of the garden from seeds and roots keep us
mindful, in accordance with of the Parable of the Sower, of the need for
our loving, mortified reception and cultivation in our hearts and souls of
the seeds and roots of the supernatural gifts and virtues necessary for
progress in the ascetical/mystical ascent of our souls toward union with
God and with the divine will for Creation and Kingdom" -   John S. Stokes,
