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.
Robert Cardinal Sarah
"Only the truth is powerful in and of itself. It does not need to rely on the strength of armies or money. Our world veils its face in the presence of truth; it does not want to see it. Many people in our time get irritated and go away disdainfully as soon so someone talks about truth or refers to an objective truth that precedes us. That appears to them to be a synonym of dogmatism and intolerance, opposed to progress. But the truth is the light, an indisputable and liberating reality. The truth is indestructible
because it comes from God; it is a face of God."
(From The Day Is Now Far Spent)
St. Vincent Ferrer, O.P.
"It generally happens, in fact, by God's permission, that a person who judges others falls into the fault with which he reproaches them, or even to greater ones."
(From A Treatise On The Spiritual Life)
"How is it that God loves us as we are? Because His love is not like ours, poor and indigent, seeking in the beloved what is lacking in themselves. No. God's love is a love of infinite fullness and looks for nothing except a void to fill, for poor beings to make happy, for miseries to cure, because He is infinite Goodness and infinite Mercy. Like the ocean that seeks a bed in which to pour its fullness, the infinite God seeks the immensity of our misery in order to fill it.
If we waited to love God and to be loved by Him until we were clean and good, we could wait forever. Rather we could despair forever."
(From True Devotion to the Holy Spirit)
