"A soul which does not practise the exercise of prayer is very like a paralyzed body which, though possessing feet and hands, makes no use of them." — St. Alphonsus Liguori
Pondering Tidbits of Truth - Week of July 3, 2012
Some food for thought today:
From Venerable Fulton Sheen:
"Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them."
From St. Caterhine of Siena:
"For nails would not have held God-and-Man fast to the cross, had love not held Him there."
From St. Gregory the Great:
"If people are scandalized at the Truth, it is better to allow the birth of scandal than to abandon the Truth."

PRAYER TO BE PRESERVED FROM SUDDEN DEATH
MOST AMIABLE JESUS "I humbly implore Thee by Thy ignominious Scourging, The Crowning with Thorns, Thy Holy Cross, and by all Thy Goodness, not to permit me to pass out of this world without having received Thy most holy Sacraments." -Prayer of St. Vincent Ferrer
PRAYER OF ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA
"Eternal Father, all things are possible for You. Although You created us without our assistance, You will not save us unless we help. Therefore, I pray You re-create their wills so that they wish for what they do not wish for: I ask this of Your infinite mercy. You have created us out of nothing. Now that we exist have mercy on us. Re-make the vessel which You created in Your own image and likeness. Bring them back to Your grace through the grace and blood of You Son, the beloved Jesus Christ."
