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.
Jean-Baptiste Chautard, O.C.S.O.
"Preaching by example will always be the foremost
instrument of conversion…Lectures, good books, Christian newspapers and
magazines, and even fine sermons must gravitate around this fundamental
program: that we need to influence people by an apostolate of good example, the example of fervent Christians,
who make Jesus Christ live again on this earth by spreading about them the good
odor of His virtues."
(From The Soul of the
Apostolate)
St. Vincent de Paul
"Believe me, we will
never be of any use in doing God’s work until we become thoroughly convinced
that, of ourselves, we are better fitted to ruin everything than to make a
success of it."
Father Jean-Pierre de Caussade, S.J.
"The soul that does not attach itself solely to the
will of God will find neither satisfaction nor sanctification in any other
means however excellent by which it may attempt to gain them. If that which God
Himself chooses for you does not content you, from whom do you expect to obtain
what you desire? . . . No soul can be really nourished, fortified, purified,
enriched, and sanctified except in fulfilling the duties of the present
moment."
(From Abandonment to Divine Providence)
