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 Louis de Blois
"No one at all can humbly read or think of the passion of our Lord…without reaping from this exercise fruit most useful for salvation; just
as no one could touch flour or balm, even with the tips of his fingers,
without having his fingers whitened with flour and perfumed with the
odor of balm. Even if the image of Jesus crucified be only piously
glanced at, the look will not have been in vain."
(From A Book of Spiritual Instruction)
Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
"The rosary is
the book of the blind, where souls see and there enact the greatest drama of
love the world has ever known; it is the book of the simple, which initiates
them into mysteries and knowledge more satisfying that the education of other
men; it is the book of the aged, whose eyes close upon the shadow of this
world, and open on the substance of the next. The power of the rosary is beyond
description.”
(From The World's First Love)
Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich
"Every pious desire, every good thought, every
charitable work inspired by the love of Jesus, contributes to the perfection of
the whole body of the faithful. A person who does nothing more than lovingly
pray to God for his brethren, participates in the great work of saving
souls."
(From The Life and Revelations of Anne Catherine Emmerich: Book 2
