There really aren't that many - the fruits of the Holy Spirit in most people are simply lost or not apparent compared to the magnitude of the fruits of their sins and their selfishness for the most part. And that, too, is interesting. I have met people who have had that holy aura for a time and then lost it - the seed on the path - and others who have led libertine and sinful lives - St. Francis of Assisi, Fr. John Corapi and many of the Church Doctors - and then turned it all around and given their lives to Christ.

Quix - I mean this truly - if the shoe fits, wear it. But don't as the Pharisees do, wear it proudly. That way, it will rapidly not fit anymore. Wear it humbly and quietly.

But of those who brag about their salvation; how the Holy Spirit directs them; how they effectively speak for God - well exactly none of them appear holy to me and that includes a number of prominent Catholics as well.
