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.

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)

Had We Only Listened and Obeyed!

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) The judgment of one’s state of grace obviously belongs only to the person involved, since it is a question of examining one’s conscience.   However, in cases of outward conduct which is seriously, clearly and steadfastly contrary to the moral norm, the Church, in her pastoral concern for the good order of the community and out of respect for the sacrament, cannot fail to feel directly involved.   The Code of Canon Law refers to this situation of a manifest lack of proper moral disposition when it states that those who “obstinately persist in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Eucharistic Communion". Saint John Paul II

What A Priceless and Undeserved Gift!

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) The effects of Holy Communion are: spiritual nourishment of the soul (an increase in sanctifying grace, of the virtues and gifts of the Holy Spirit); intimate union of the soul with Christ and with His mystical body through grace and charity; a diminishing or mitigating of sensual passions; a glorious resurrection of the body; the remission of venial sins; the remission in some part or in great part of the temporal punishment due to sin; and spiritual sweetness and delights.  Father Winfrid Herbst, S.D.S
