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 Jean-Pierre de Caussade, S.J.
"Would that all people understood how easy it is for them to attain great holiness! They have only to fulfill the simple duties of the Catholic faith and of their state of life, to accept with submission the crosses that go with those duties, and to submit with faith and love to the designs of Providence in everything that is constantly being presented to them to do and to endure, without searching for anything themselves."
(From Abandonment to Divine Providence)
Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
“Let America love its stars and stripes! But let it also realize that America will conquer by other stars and other stripes than those on our flag, namely, by the stars and stripes of Christ, by Whose stars we are illumined and by Whose stripes we are healed. We pray, too, that His Mother, who stood at the foot of the Cross, may intercede to her Divine Son, that our world may receive Him before it lies in ruins. ‘If God is with us, who can be against us?’”
(From Life Is Worth Living)
Dom Lorenzo Scupoli
“…although a soul is overwhelmed by sins, although it has labored in vain to tear away from vice and follow virtue, although it should find its inclination to evil increasing daily, instead of diminishing in favor of virtue, yet it must not fail to place its confidence in God; it must not be discouraged or abandon its spiritual works. On the contrary, it must arouse itself to new fervor and redouble its efforts against the enemy.”
(From The Spiritual Combat and a Treatise On Peace of Soul)
