The Tree Does Not Understand the Pruning

    • A Spanish priest told this Spanish proverb 30 years ago years ago to a relative of mine and he passed it on to me. It explains the trials of our times living in these counterfeit Conciliar church times, it is like what Job of Hus went through. I did a search and found that I posted the proverb only once on CI as a passing comment. I translate here the phrase, has anyone heard it before?

    "A tree does not understand the pruning, nor the ground the tilling, but the husbandman knows."

    • This is the first time I'm seeing it. But, it's a good saying regardless.

    "A tree does not understand the pruning, nor the ground the tilling, but the husbandman knows."
    Correction: It should have said: "The tree does not understand the pruning, nor the ground the tilling, but the husbandman knows."
