Pondering Tidbits of Truth - August 18, 2022

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Venerable Bruno Lanteri

“Keep constantly before you these two proposals that I urge you to renew often and with the holy persistence: first,  never to offend God knowingly and second, if you should fall, never to persevere in this with your will, but, with humility and courage, to rise immediately and begin again, firmly convinced that God forgives you in the instant itself that with humility and trust, you ask His forgiveness."

(From Stirring Slumbering Souls – 250 Eucharistic Reflections)

(From Dying to Live)

"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."
