Pondering Tidbits of Truth - October 18, 2018




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.
 



Dr. Peter Kreeft


“In our day, the Sacrament of Confession has suffered a radical decline. In one large Dutch diocese during a twelve-month period there were no confessions.

(From Christianity for Modern Pagans -Pascal’s Pensees)



Rev. M. Raymond, O.C.S.O.


“As I write this book [God, A Woman, and The Way], I know that out of the almost two billion persons on the earth at this moment [1954], not more than one third of them knows so much as the name of the One who died that they might live eternally. And as one very observant mystic remarked: ‘Out of that third, close to ninety-nine per cent of them know it in vain.’ Is that not enough to set the nine choirs of the angels weeping?”


(From God, A Woman, and The Way )



Servant of God Lucia Dos Santos


“When lovers are together, they spend hours and hours repeating the same thing: “I love you!” What is missing in the people who think the rosary monotonous is Love; and everything that is not done for love is worthless.”
(From Champions of the Rosary)

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."
