Not every soil yields the fruits expected (St. Padre Pio)

   You must not be discouraged or let yourself become dejected if your actions have not succeeded as perfectly as you have intended.  What do you expect?  We are made of clay and not every soil yields the fruits expected by the one who tills it.  But let us always humble ourselves and acknowledge that we are nothing if we lack the Divine assistance.

--St. Padre Pio
