The Origins of “Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire! – Words To Challenge, Inspire and Instruct”


Over the past fifteen years, God placed a tremendous hunger in my heart to study the Truths of our Catholic Faith. During that time, I highlighted and made photocopies of thousands of passages from various articles and books that had opened my eyes, stirred my soul and spoke to my heart. Much of what I have read, I had written on index cards and stored them in my desk drawer. Periodically re-reading this collection of timeless truths from Sacred Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, as well as from the spiritual insight of Popes, Church Doctors, Saints, bishops, priests, sinners and regular folk has had a significant impact on my life and spiritual journey.

Although I did not gather these quotations with the intent of compiling them into a book, I came to realize that many Catholics do not hear, know or live the fundamental truths of their Faith. Others are prompted to learn more but feel they do not have the time to do so. I also knew as a Lay Dominican, that I should not hoard these “Forgotten Truths” in my desk drawer for my exclusive reflection.

God kept after me to share these truths with others, knowing they would be a fruitful source of contemplation. That is the purpose of this book, its twelve hundred quotations, seventeen chapters and one hundred and fifteen topics.

Forgotten Truths is the recipient of the Catholic Writers' Guild's Seal of Approval and a perfect companion for this "Year of Faith" and an excellent tool for the "New Evanglization". It travels well on your Kindle. If you do not have one, you can simply download the appropriate and free Kindle Book App and put Forgotten Truths on your desktop, laptop, tablet, android or I-phone - making spiritual inspiration and nourishment instantly available to you any time you can steal a few minutes away from your daily routines.

Jesus to St. Catherine of Siena on Divine Providence

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) Nothing has ever happened and nothing happens save by the plan of My Divine Providence. In all things that I permit, in all things that I give you, in tribulations and in consolations, temporal or spiritual, I do nothing save for your good, so that you may be sanctified in Me and that My Truth be fulfilled in you. (From The Dialogue ) PAUSE AND PONDER:   Am I unwilling to believe God when He says nothing happens in my life that is not part of His Divine will for me? Do I refuse to see God’s hands in the struggles and trials of my daily life? Am I afraid to trust Him? (Excerpted from Pondering Tidbits of Truth, Volume VI)

To Be Preserved From Sudden Death

 

Have Too Many Of Us Forgotten Our Catholic Responsibility?

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons )   What is our Catholic responsibility? It is painfully obvious. Our duty is to know the truth revealed by Christ and taught by His Church. Our duty is to live the truth, as Christ who is Truth Incarnate showed us by His life on earth how we are to live in this passing world of space and time. Our duty is to defend the truth, because we realize how disastrous are the consequences of error and how blessed are the fruits of possessing the truth. Our duty is to share the truth with others, because this is the highest practice of charity, on which our salvation depends. Our duty is to suffer for the truth. We are to rejoice as Christ tells us when people oppose us, criticize us, and speak all kinds of calumny against us – in a word – when we are persecuted for proclaiming the truth which God, who is Truth, became man to reveal. Our Lord, Truth Incarnate, was crucified for proclaiming in Palestine.  Servant of God Father John A. Hardon, S. J. ...
