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.
Adolphe Tanquerey
"Every one of us contributes in some way toward increasing the suffering of Christ. For this reason, we should rejoice to be able to meditate slowly on sin's impact on the loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We will then accept our share in their suffering and make reparation gladly."
(From The Divinization of Suffering)
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God
will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
St. John Paul II
“The continuous struggle against
the devil that characterizes Michael the Archangel
is still going on since the devil who seeks to take advantage of every
situation, is still living and operative in the world. There are periods in
which the existence of evil among men becomes singularly apparent. We have the
impression today that people do not want to see the problem. Everything
possible is done to remove from public awareness the existence of the 'cunning
attacks of the devil', who 'holds dominion over the underworld' as spoken of in
Ephesians. Nevertheless, there are historical periods when the profound truth
of this revelation of faith is expressed with greater force and is almost tangibly
perceived.
(Address, 24 May 1987)
