Wow! This shows how human Venerable Sheen was. Who among us has not felt anything at times when making a holy hour? But just showing up and waiting on the Lord shows a true relationship with him.

Pondering Tidbits of Truth - April 16, 2026

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. Robert Cardinal Sarah “Relativism, that terribly effective bleach, has wiped out everything in its path. Doctrinal and moral confusion is reaching its height. Evil is good, good is evil. Man no longer feels any need to be saved. The loss of the sense of salvation is the consequence of the loss of the transcendence of God.”   (From  The Day Is Now Far Spent) Father Thomas Dubay "God gives prayer growth precisely according to our degree of readiness for it. He forces no one. According as we are more or less receptive, He bestows more or less depth of communion. In the same manner, five hundred people in a parish church all hear the same sound waves during the homily, but they profit from it exactly as they are or are not disposed for the message. Jesus taught the same truth in his parable of the sower: from the wor...

Monday Musings - See With The Eyes of Faith

  (Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) [104] Mother Angelica of the Annunciation  "All earthly joys are finite glimpses of eternal bliss. But because we tend to hold on to what we see with our physical eyes, we tend to forget what can be seen only with the eyes of Faith. And so it is that Heaven is always remote from our thoughts and removed from our daily experiences.  (From Mother Angelica on God, His Home, and His Angels )  PAUSE AND PONDER: Where do I seek to satiate my hunger for joy: in the people and material things of this world or in seeking an intimate spiritual relationship with the God who offers me eternal joy? Has any earthly joy ever lasted?   (Excerpted from Pondering Tidbits of Truth – Volume 6 )

Monday Musings - So When Can We Expect to Hear Humanae Vitae Preached at Sunday Masses?

Image
(Image from Biblebios.com) If God used Balaam’s donkey to get that prophet’s attention, I guess he can use me to get yours. May these periodic postings on the second and fourth Mondays of each month (God willing) generate fruitful discussion and faithful change.   I recently read a short but interesting article written by Father Michael Orsi. It is entitled How Same-Sex Marriage Won . You can read his article here at Catholic Exchange .  As I am wont to do, I simply passed it along to several social media sites with the same question I posed in today's post. That's all I did. What a stir it created.
