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.

"Oh, if men did but knew how much they might increase their glory and their merit every day, they would never awaken in the morning without gratitude in their hearts to God for His goodness in giving them another day in which they might increase their glory in heaven, their eternal home."


St. Jerome


"With a Christian, not the beginning but the end is what is important. St. Paul had a bad beginning but a good end. Judas had a good beginning but a bad end."



St. Francis de Sales

"Holy Mass is the sum of all spiritual exercises, the mainspring of devotion, the soul of piety, the fire of divine charity, the abyss of divine mercy, and a precious means whereby God confers on us His graces."

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."
