Pondering Tidbits of Truth - December 20, 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.





Catherine Doherty, Servant of God



“A person in love with God is always on the alert to make friends, make a friend – not for any ulterior motive but just because friendship is the fruit of Christian love. A stranger is only a friend I haven’t met yet.”

 (From Poustinia)




Dr. Peter Kreeft



“We can consider him [Jesus Christ in every person and in ourselves] because he really is there. He is in his whole Body as your soul is in your whole body. We really do meet and touch and help or harm Christ in our neighbors. If we lived this one thought, we would convert and transform the world.”

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




St. Catherine of Siena



"He will provide the way and the means, such as you could never have imagined. Leave it all to Him, let go of yourself, lose yourself on the Cross, and you will find yourself entirely."

(From The Letters of St. Catherine of Siena)

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."
