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.
Cardinal Charles
Journet
“The Church continues to live in her children who are not in
the state of grace. The Church seeks to work against the evil that corrupts
their souls. She struggles to keep them in her fold, to bring them back to life
with her love. She conserves them as one conserves a treasure not easily
parted from. And it is not because she wants to carry around dead weight. She
only hopes that through the power of patience, gentleness and pardon the sinner
will make his return to her. It is like the withered branch which for lack of
sap is allowed time to regain health and flower once more.”
(From Theology of the Church)
