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.
Father Francis Fernandez
"We may also recall today the obligation - at times grave - that we have to do everything possible so that no relative, friend or colleague or ours dies without the spiritual assistance that our Mother Church provides for the final moments of our journey [Viaticum-Last rites]. This is the best and most effective and perhaps the last possible manifestation of charity and affection towards those persons here on earth."
(From In Conversation With God, Vol 4:56.1)
Vatican II
“…Christ the Lord founded one
Church and one Church only. However, many Christian communions present
themselves to men as the true inheritors of Jesus Christ; all indeed profess to
be followers of the Lord, but they differ in mind and go their different ways,
as if Christ himself were divided Certainly, such division openly contradicts
the Will of Christ, scandalizes the world, and damages that most holy cause,
the preaching of the Gospel to every creature.”
(Decree on Ecumenism - Unitatis Redintegratio)
Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
"In the future there will be only
two great capitals in the world: Rome and Moscow; only two temples, the Kremlin
and St. Peters; only two tabernacles, the Red Square and the Eucharist; only
two hosts, the rotted body of Lenin and the Christ Emmanuel; only two hymns,
the Internationale and the Panis
Angelicus but there will be only one victory—if Christ wins, we win, and
Christ cannot lose."
(From Cleveland Press,
September 25, 1935)
