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.
Saint Raphael Kalinowski
“Devotion to the presence of
Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament was, and still is, for me a source of patience,
perseverance, refuge and consolation; literally, the very spring of my life.
Without this mystery of our Savior’s love, which He has left for us in the
Church, I would have perished long since.”
(From catholicstormroom,com)
St. Thomas of Villanova
“From it [humility] spring obedience, holy fear, reverence,
patience, modesty, mildness, and peace; for, whoever is humble easily obeys
all, fears to offend any, maintains peace with all, shows himself affable to
all, is submissive to all, does not offend or displease any, and does not feel
the insults which may be inflicted upon him. He lives happy and contented, and
in great peace.”
(From Cultivating Virtue – Self-Mastery With The Saints)
Saint Romuald of Ravenna
“Better to sing one Psalm with feeling, than to recite a
hundred with a wandering mind. But if you haven’t yet received the grace of
singing from your heart, do not give up hope. Be constant in your practice, and
one day He who gave you the desire for the prayer of the heart will give you
that prayer itself."

from the Benedictines & Camaldolese)
