Spiritual Treasures That Will Provide Hours Of Fruitful Contemplation

Read what retired History professor Richard Fitzgerald had to say about Pondering Tidbits of Truth - Volume VI: 


“Author, Michael Seagriff, has created a remarkable work that will significantly impact all who read it. The book is filled with spiritual treasures that will provide hours of fruitful contemplation. Moreover, and more importantly, the book creates an avenue of coming closer to God and seeking His will for one’s life.”

 

Now peruse and ponder one of its 150 challenging quotations. 


[16]   St. Catherine of Siena

To join two things together there must be nothing between them or there cannot be a perfect fusion. Now realize that this is how God wants our soul to be, without any selfish love of ourselves or of others in between, just as God loves us without anything in between.

(From The Letters of St. Catherine) 

 

PAUSE AND PONDER: God wants us to die to ourselves, to place Him above ourselves and all other creatures. Have I been willing to do so? What if God loved me only as much as I loved Him?

 

Do you agree with the good professor that Pondering Tidbits of Fruit, Volume VI is a treasure trove of fruit for your contemplation and spiritual growth - a book you will use over and over? 

 

Copies of Pondering Tidbits of Truth Volume 6 are available here.

Raymond, O.C.S.O. )

Looking for the Worse or the Best?

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons) In dealing with ourselves, we should look for what is worse and make it, with God’s grace, the occasion of spiritual growth.   But in dealing with others, we should look for what is best, in order that, as we show mercy to others, God may show His grace and His mercy to us.  Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

Do Not Think This Message Got Through

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) Pastors should ensure that, unless there is a grave reason against it, churches in which the Blessed Sacrament is normally reserved should be open every day for at least some hours, at the most suitable times, so that the faithful may be easily able to pray before the Blessed Sacrament. (Vatican Council II - Sacramentum Concilium )
