Pondering Tidbits of Truth - August 26, 2015

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. Maria Faustina Kowalska

"I must take no heed of the opinion of others, but obey  the evidence of my own conscience and take God to be the witness of all my actions. I must do everything and act in all matters now as I would like to do and act at the hour of my death. For this reason, in every action I must be mindful of God.

(From Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska)

Saint John Paul II
"It is only by means of the Eucharist that we are able to live the heroic virtues of Christianity, such as charity to pardon one's enemies; the love which enables us to suffer; the capacity to give one's life for another; chastity at all times of life and in in all situations; patience in the face of suffering and the apparent silence of God in human history or our very own existence. Therefore, strive to always be Eucharistic souls a so as to be authentic Christians."

(From Homily, August 19, 1979)



St. Augustine

"I am the food of grown men. Grow, and you shall feed upon Me. You will not change Me into yourself, as you change food into your flesh, but you will be changed into Me."

(From Confessions)

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."
