Pondering Tidbits of Truth - January 2, 2020



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.






Father Reginald Garrigou-LaGrange, O.P.


"The face-to-face vision of God will produce in us a love of God so strong, so absolute, that nothing can ever destroy it nor even diminish it. It will produce a love built on admiration, respect, and gratitude, but above all on friendship, with the simplicity and familiarity that this love presupposes. Through such a love we will enjoy above all else that God is God, that He is infinitely holy, infinitely merciful, infinitely just."

                                                                 (From Knowing the Love of God)




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 St. Catherine of Siena by Johannes Jorgensen)


Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

"The better we become, the less conscious we are of our goodness. If anyone admits to being a saint, he is close to being a devil. Jean Jacques Rousseau believed that of all men, he was the most perfect, but he had so many cracks in his soul that he abandoned his children after their birth. The more saintly we become, the less conscious we are of being holy. A child is cute so long as he does not know that he is cute. As soon as he thinks he is, he turns into a brat. True goodness is unconscious." 

(From Novena Prayer for Canonization of Venerable  Archbishop Fulton Sheen)
