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
“To care is even more important than to know, for it is the
only way to know the most important thing: yourself, your soul, your identity,
your purpose, your destiny and your immortality. If we are indifferent instead of
seeking, we simply will not find, that is, we will not be saved. Hell is not
populated mainly by passionate rebels but nice, bland, indifferent, respectable
people who simply never gave a damn.”
(From Christianity For
Modern Pagans)
St. Alphonsus de Liguori
“God is merciful. Who
denies it? But, great as His mercy is, how many does He every day send to hell?
God is merciful, but He is also just, and is, therefore, obliged to punish
those who offend Him. And ‘His mercy,’ says the divine mother, extends ‘to them
that fear him’. (Luke 1:50). But with regard to those who abuse His mercy and
despise Him, He exercises mercy.”
(From On The Abuse of God’s Mercy)
Dr.
Peter Kreeft
“One wonders how much of Christianity’s power to win the
world has been crippled by the modern fashion of denying or ignoring the reality
of Hell. It is certainly a fashion rather than a proof or a discovery. Both
reason and faith inform us of Hell: reason, because it is irrational to think that
souls created free to refuse God can be compelled to accept him; faith, because
if no one goes to Hell, then Jesus is a liar or a fool, for he more than anyone
warned against it.”
