Pondering Tidbits of Truth - July 31, 2025
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.

Mother Angelica "Please, make a visit every so
often. Just go into your church for a moment and say, “Hi, Jesus, I’m here. I
don’t have much to say.” He knows that...He wants our will, our love, our
faith, and our trust. Remember now, you have that, you have everything. Every
day, whatever church you belong to, he waits in that tabernacle, hoping when
that door opens, it’s you." |

St. Peter Julian Eymard "Oh! How well the devil knows that by keeping souls away from the Eucharist he is destroying the Christian family and fostering selfishness in us. For there are only two loves: the love of God and the love of self. We must give ourselves to the one or to the other. How unhappy are they who no longer have the Eucharist! What darkness! What lawlessness of mind! What coldness of heart! Satan alone reigns as master and with him every evil passion! As for us, the Eucharist delivers us from all evils!" (An excerpt from 30 Day Eucharistic Revival: A Retreat with St. Peter Julian Eymard) | |

St. John Chrysostom
"There is nothing to be dreaded in human ills except sin—not poverty, or disease, or insult, or ill treatment, or dishonor, or death, which people call the worst of evils. To those who love spiritual wisdom, these things are only the names of disasters, names that have no substance. No, the true disaster is to offend God, to do anything that displeases him."
