Prone To Evil

Tomb of the Unborn Child
Franciscan University of Steubenville


Take care lest, when the dung of worthlessness has been placed at your roots, you be found sterile, for then there will remain nothing but that the axe be put to you. Do not trust entirely the spirit that is in now in you, for man's senses are more prone to evil than to good, even though it may have been considerably separated from it.

Saint Francis of Assisi
Sacrum Commercium - 54

This makes me think of the hymn, "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing," and the words, "Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it/Prone to leave the God I love/Here's my heart, O take and seal it/Seal it for Thy courts above."
