By Susan Brinkmann, OCDS Staff Writer A tree blessed by Pope John Paul II eight years ago during a visit to the Holy Land was the only tree in a plot of land to produce olives this year. “It’s a miracle,” said Yossi Karni, an official with the Jewish National Fund, the organization that manages the plot. The Pope blessed the tree during a visit eight years ago to northern Israel. The tree he blessed is on the Mount of Beatitudes, the place where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount.  Karni told local media he could not explain why just one tree – the blessed tree – produced olives. “They get treated the same, watered the same,” he said, adding that some trees had even started to wither, which he could not explain. When asked what he would do with the olives from this very special tree, Karni said he may market their “holy oil.”   © All Rights Reserved, Living His Life Abundantly/Women of Grace. http://www.womenofgrace.com
