Pondering Tidbits of Truth - August 29, 2019

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.

God the Father to St. Catherine of Siena

"For no other reason ought the soul leave off prayer [other than for obedience or for charity's sake]. During the time ordained for prayer, the devil likes to arrive in the soul, causing much more conflict and trouble than when the soul is not occupied in prayer. This he does in order that holy prayer may become tedious to the soul."

(From The Dialogue)

St. Francis de Sales

"If the grace of God had caused me to perform any work of righteousness, or had wrought any good by my means, when the secrets of the hearts are manifested, God alone should know of my righteousness; and my unrighteousness, on the contrary, should be seen by every creature."

(From Introduction to the Devout Life)
