Monday Musings - Spiritual Treasures That Will Provide Hours of Fruitful Contempaltion

Read what retired History professor Richard Fitzgerald had to say about Pondering Tidbits of Truth - Volume VI: 


“Author, Michael Seagriff, has created a remarkable work that will significantly impact all who read it. The book is filled with spiritual treasures that will provide hours of fruitful contemplation. Moreover, and more importantly, the book creates an avenue of coming closer to God and seeking His will for one’s life.”

 

Now peruse and ponder one of its 150 challenging quotations. 


[16]   St. Catherine of Siena

To join two things together there must be nothing between them or there cannot be a perfect fusion. Now realize that this is how God wants our soul to be, without any selfish love of ourselves or of others in between, just as God loves us without anything in between.

(From The Letters of St. Catherine

 

PAUSE AND PONDER: God wants us to die to ourselves, to place Him above ourselves and all other creatures. Have I been willing to do so? What if God loved me only as much as I loved Him?

 

Do you agree with the good professor that Pondering Tidbits of Fruit, Volume VI is a treasure trove of fruit for your contemplation and spiritual growth - a book you will use over and over? 

 

Copies of Pondering Tidbits of Truth Volume 6 are available here.

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."
