Pondering Tidbits of Truth is my simple and inadequate way of providing nuggets
of spiritual wisdom for you to chew on from time to time.
St. Teresa of Avila
"Let us strive always to look at the virtues
and good deeds we see in others and cover their defects with the thought of our
own great sins. This is a manner of acting that, although we cannot do sow with
perfection right way, gradually gains for us a great virtue - that of
considering all other men as being better than ourselves. In such a way, whht
the help of God, one begins to acquire this virtue."
(From The Book of Her Life)
Blessed Dom
Columba Marmion
“A priest can do so much for God
if, in offering the Holy Sacrifice, he unites the oblation of himself, his
life, his love, all he has, with that of the Divine Victim. He can obtain
priceless graces for all mankind, can stay the anger of God, and gain powerful
aid for the Church, not to speak of the great merit he gains for himself. Let
us try to be faithful and loving towards Our dear Lord. It is in the heart of
the priest He expects to repose, when He is outraged by sinners; and also, He
so often finds even there but coldness and ingratitude.”
(From Vultus Christi, June 25, 2014)
Father M. Eugene Boylan, O.C.R.
“We have our own plans for our happiness, and too
often we look upon God as someone who will help us to carry them out. The true
state of affairs is invariably the reverse of this. God has his own perfect
plans for our happiness, and is waiting for us to help him carry them out. And
let it be clear that we can in no way improve on God's plans.”
(From This Tremendous Lover)
