Pondering Tidbits of Truth - October 4, 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.

St. Basil

“If you wish for a method brief and compendious, one which contains in itself all other methods and is most efficacious in conquering all temptation and difficulties, and acquiring perfection, this is the exercise of the presence of God.” 

(From A Year With the Saints – A Virtue For Every Month of the Year)

Archbishop George Joseph Lucas 

"The invitation to be with Jesus, to live as His disciples is being given to all of us. Increasingly, young Catholics are hearing the invitation in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament – and are finding the strength to respond in times of adoration before the Eucharistic Lord. It is a hopeful sign – to have those who will soon assume roles of leadership and service in the Church – to be leading us now in appreciation for the power of the presence of the risen Christ in the Eucharist.”

St. Frances de Sales

It is horrible irreverence to Him who with so much love and sweetness invites us to perfection, to say, ‘I do not want to be holy, or perfect, or to have a greater share in Your friendship, or to follow the counsels You give me to advance in it.”

(From Finding God’s Will For You)
