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.
Frank Morriss
“The Church exists to serve man
by showing him the ultimate truths that pertain to his spiritual well-being. It
exists to show man the path to heaven and salvation, and to light his way on
the path with the light of Christ. It is false to its vocation when it is more
concerned with man’s temporal happiness and well-being than the State of his
immortal soul.”
(From Lumen
Gentium: The Church of Our Time Looks at Herself)
St. Francis de Sales
“Tribulations considered in
themselves are dreadful things: looked at in God’s Will, they are things of
love and delight.”
((From Finding
God’s Will For You)
Ven. Fulton J. Sheen
“Tolerance applies only to persons, but never to
principles. Intolerance applies only to principles, but never to persons. We
must be tolerant to persons because they are human; we must be intolerant about
principles because they are divine. We must be tolerant to the erring, because ignorance may have led them
astray; but we must be intolerant to the error, because Truth is not our
making, but God's. And hence the Church in her
history, due reparation made, has always welcomed the heretic back into the
treasury of her souls, but never his heresy into the treasury of her wisdom.”
(From Moods and Truths)
