FORGOTTEN TRUTHS TO SET FAITH AFIRE! - We Are Almost There - Really!

Publication is really just around the corner - any day now, God willing!

While we await that happy event, several have asked if I could provide them with a further glimpse into the book. You'll have an opportunity to "Look Inside" before purchasing the book once it is listed on Amazon.com. In the meanwhile, I lack the technological skills to replicate what Amazon.com will be doing on their site. I have, however, copied and pasted the Alphabetical Index of Topics and a few randomly selected sample quotations to help satisfy your present curiosity.

Is their some other specific topic that you would like to sample?

I welcome your comments.

Sample Quotations From Random Topics

Abandonment to God’s Will

Accept whatever happens to you as sent to you by the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ in order to unite yourself to Him. – St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

... it does not matter what we do or where we are, as long as we bear in mind that we are His belonging, that Jesus can do with us whatever He wants, that we owe Him our love and that we love Him. Whether we work for the rich or on behalf of the poor, whether we work among people of high society or among inhabitants of the inner city, what is important is only the love we put into carrying out our job. – Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

It no longer matters to me what I do, or what I suffer, provided that I remain lovingly united to Your will. –Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection

Lord, may I be content not only with the gifts You have given me, but also with the results that come from my best efforts. – Living Faith

Redemption/Salvation

The dialogue of salvation was not conditioned by the merits of those to whom it was directed; it was open to all men, without discrimination. – Pope Paul VI

Though Christ died for all; yet, not all will receive the benefit of His Death! – Council of Trent

It is not our actions, but the grace of our Redeemer, that is the principal cause of the hope of salvation. –St. Thomas Aquinas

For a small living, men run a great way, but for eternal life many will scarce move a single foot from the ground. – Thomas a Kempis

In order to desire to be saved, we must know we are lost. – Madeleine Delbrel, Servant of God

Death

It would be wise for me to always remember that I must die and that I ought always to be ready. I should be able to go to bed at night and say: This night I may die; and if I die I am going to heaven…Would I do this or that if I knew I were to die this minute?...Live so death will never find me unprepared. I must always be ready. – Father Winfrid Herbst, S.D.S.

Life is given us that we may learn to die well, and we never think of it! To die well we must live well. – St. John Marie Vianney

If you are unprepared to face death today, how will you be tomorrow? Tomorrow is uncertain and you may not be here to see it. – Thomas a Kempis

God promises to receive the repentant sinner when he returns to Him, but nowhere does He promise to give him tomorrow. – St. Gregory

Eucharist

I enter into certain souls as into a second Passion. – Jesus to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska

There is a mystery, the greatest of all mysteries – not that my adored Lord is in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar – His word has said it, and what is so simple as to take that word, which is true to itself? – but that souls of His own creation, whom He gave His life to save, who are endowed with His choicest gifts in all things else, should remain blind, insensible, and deprived of that light without which every other blessing is unavailing! –St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

Oh, if only all souls knew who is living in our Churches, there would not be so many outrages and so much disrespect in these holy places. – St. Maria Faustina Kowalska
