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. Bernard of Clairvaux
“Look to the star of the sea, call upon Mary. In danger, in distress, in doubt, think of Mary, call upon Mary. May her name never be far from your lips, or far from your heart. If you follow her you will not stray; if you pray to her, you will not despair; if you turn your thoughts to her, you will not err. If she holds you, you will not fail; if she protects you, you need not fear; if she is your guide, you will not tire; if she is gracious to you, you will surely reach your destination."
(From A Homily of St.
Bernard)
St. John Henry Newman
“Realize it, my brethren; —every one who breathes, high and low, educated and ignorant, young and old, man and woman, has a mission, has a work. We are not sent into this world for nothing; we are not born at random; . . . God sees every one of us; He creates every soul, He lodges it in the body, one by one, for a purpose. He needs, He deigns to need, every one of us. He has an end for each of us; we are all equal in His sight, and we are placed in our different ranks and stations, not to get what we can out of them for ourselves, but to labor in them for Him. As Christ has His work, we too have ours; as He rejoiced to do His work, we must rejoice in ours also.”

Florian Racine “How
can we live from the power of the Holy Spirit if this gift is not renewed in
the Eucharist? Eucharistic adoration is a perpetual outpouring of the Holy
Spirit to give us the heart of a child, to put us at the disposal of the
Heart of God, to learn in those long hours spent before the Blessed Sacrament
how to say ‘Abba, Father’ with the right attitude…" |

Not Watch with Me One Hour?)
