Pondering Tidbits of Truth - April 23, 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.





Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI



"If we let Christ into our lives, we lose nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing of what makes life free, beautiful, and great. No! Only in this friendship are the doors of life opened wide. Only in this friendship is the great potential of human existence truly revealed." 




                                                                                (From The Ultimate Relationship)



St. Vincent de Paul

“Read some chapter of a devout book…It is very easy and most necessary, for just as you speak to God when at prayer, God speaks to you when you read.”  


                                                                                                      (From Mary’s Mantle Consecration)

 

 St. Catherine of Siena
  
“There are two goals, vice and virtue, and both require perseverance. If you would reach life, you must persevere in virtue, and if you would reach eternal death, persevere in vice.”  


                                                                                                               (From The Dialogue)

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."
