Pondering Tidbits of Truth - July 14, 2022


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. John Bosco

"Health is God’s great gift, and we must spend it entirely for Him. Our eyes should see only for God, our feet walk only for Him, our hands labor for Him alone; in short, our entire body should serve God while we still have the time. Then, when He shall take our health and we shall near our last day, our conscience will not reproach us for having misused it."

 (From Daily Salesian Inspiration)

 

 

Peter Kreeft, Ph.D.

“The point is simply that without God’s grace we cannot be good. Without love, justice turns to cruelty. Without hope, courage turns to blind despair. Without faith, this-worldly wisdom is foolishness to God. The two levels, natural and supernatural, hang together.”

(From Back To Virtue)

St. Padre Pío

“Pray that God will console you when you feel the burden of the Cross, for in doing so you are in no way acting against the will of God, but you are placing yourself beside the Son of God who asked His Father during the Agony in the Garden to send Him some relief. But if He is not willing to give it be ready to pronounce the same ‘Fiat,’ ‘So be it,’ that Jesus did.”

Saint Mariana de Jesus Torres

"...the foundation of the spiritual life lies cemented in the fusion of these supernatural loves: to the Passion of Christ our Redeemer, to the Holy Eucharist, and to the Blessed Virgin Mary."

(From  A Spanish Mystic in Quito: Sister Mariana de Jesus Torres)


St. Padre Pio

“The harm that comes to souls from lack of reading holy books makes me shudder…What power spiritual reading has to lead to a change of course, and to make even worldly people enter into the way of perfection.” 

 (From Mary's Mantle Consecration)


Saint Mariana de Jesus Torres

 “Oh my little sisters,  I weep because the demons are more eager for our perdition than we are for our salvation."

 (From  A Spanish Mystic in Quito: Sister Mariana de Jesus Torres)

Eucharistic Reflection - Run To The Feet of Jesus




We must always have courage, and if some spiritual languor comes upon us, let us run to the feet of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, and let us place ourselves in the midst of the heavenly perfumes, and we will undoubtedly regain our strength.


St Padre Pio

A Timely Confirmation For Reverent Behavior in Our Churches

See the link below. Padre Pio says it a great deal better than the sentiments I shared yesterday. Would that we would listen to his voice and disseminate his words widely in our Churches.

Eucharistic Reflection - Would A Stranger Know?

  "The Eucharist is alive. If a stranger who knew nothing about the Eucharist were to watch the way we receive, would he know...
