Pondering Tidbits of Truth - May 9, 2024



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.



Archbishop Luis M. Martinez, Servant of God

"As an audience maintains silence to hear better the voice of an orator, as music lovers keep silence during a symphony to admire its artistic beauty, so the silence of contemplation is nothing other than the indispensable condition for hearing the voice of God and addressing to Him our heartfelt words."

(From When God is Silent: Finding Spiritual Peace Amidst The Storms of Life)

 

Father Donald Haggerty

"To give ourselves to God in prayer is to find a door in our heart unlocking and opening to the hearts of other people."

(From his Contemplative Enigmas) 


St. Jean-Pierre de Caussade

"Sometimes we live in God and sometimes God lives in us. These are very different states. When God lives in us, we should abandon ourselves completely to Him, but when we live in Him, we have to take care to employ every possible means to achieve a complete surrender to Him."

(From Spiritual Masters)

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."
