Pondering Tidbits of Truth - July 6, 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.

St. Leonard of Port Maurice

"To be saved for all eternity, to be damned for all eternity, and to not make your every effort to avoid the one and make sure of the other, is something inconceivable."

(From The Little Number of Those Who Are Saved)

Lisa Brenninkmeyer

"Let’s take a closer look at the people Jesus loved in the Gospels. It wasn’t just the cleaned-up, spiritually open, nicely behaved people. Jesus loved the ones with scandalous sexual sins, the perfectionists, the dirty outcasts, the cheaters, the ones who were lying to themselves, and the ones who spent most of their lives ignoring Him."

(From Rest: 31 Days of Peace Devotional - (Daily Catholic Wisdom)

 

St. Vincent Ferrer, O.P.

"If you truly want to help the soul of your neighbor, you should approach God first with all your heart. Ask him simply to fill you with charity, the greatest of all virtues; with it you can accomplish what you desire." 

(From The Treatise on the Spiritual Life)
