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. John Chrysostom
“When you are weary of praying, and do not receive, consider
how often you have heard a poor man calling, and have not listened to him.”
(From Contemplative Provocations by Father Donald Haggerty)
Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
“Those
who have their finger on the pulse of contemporary civilization have
probably noted that there are two contradictory charges against
religions today. The first is that religion is not political enough;
the other is that religion is too political. On the one hand, the
Church is blamed for being too divine, and on the other, for not being
divine enough. It is hated because it is too heavenly and hated because
it is too earthly.”
(From Characters of the Passion)
Francis Fernandez
“If we want to rise with Christ we have to accompany him on
his journey to the Cross: we do this by accepting life’s trials and
tribulations with calmness and serenity.”
(From In Conversation With God)
