Pondering Tidbits of Truth - January 12, 2023

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 Benedict XVI

"God has done everything; He has done the impossible: He was made flesh. His all-powerful love has accomplished something which surpasses all human understanding: the Infinite has become a child, has entered the human family. And yet, this same God cannot enter my heart unless I open the door to Him."

(From Urbi et Orbi Message - Christmas 2012)

 

Venerable Fulton J. Sheen "Alienation from self and from one’s fellow men has its roots in separation from God. Once the hub of the wheel, which is God, is lost, the spokes, which are men, fall apart. God seems very far away from the modern man: this is due, to a great extent, to his own Godless behavior." (From Go To Heaven)

Christine Watkins

“As painful and humiliating as it may feel, practice humbling yourself before God today, and in the days to come when He prompts you to. And if your ego is wounded, allow your pride to melt in the crucible of silence. What kind of masterpiece might God make of you, if in humility, you allow Him full room to work?”

 (From Mary’s Mantle)
