Tweeting to the Choir The Triune God

For their short pithy brilliant whimsical way of saying things, I love to collect Twitter and other Quality Quintessential quips, quotes, questions, musings and maxims from the furthest reaches of the internet to the obscure book hidden in the dusty corner of some long forgotten book store and save them for a rainy day post. I  just might need some wonderful wordful beauty to express a sentiment or idea in what I’m writing so I created this particular post with that purpose in mine.

Tweeting to the Choir: A Collection of Tweets

Janet@Mystagogy1013:  Tweeting to the choir gives us all support and encouragement, which is much needed in these days.

This peculiarly particular post is the offspring of that larger post with a more specific focus in mind from a topic listed in that larger post. It is also but one of the many children of that post.  You can go big or go home to this  shorter post and pluck what you need from  the collected treasure of  the Broad Chorus of Catholic Thinkers and similar like minded individuals  and insert it into whatever it is your  working on at the moment. Or perhaps you just might want to read a short something that will put a chuckle, a prayer or a nifty thought into your brain. And perhaps any truth beauty or goodness may leak into your soul making you a more loving, faithful and hopeful person and draw you closer to Christ.

In this post were Tweeting to the Choir about…

God Almighty

Catholic Kangaroo@CatholicKanger1: I think that perhaps G-d is like a Catholic patriarch in one of the Eastern churches. With a long, unkempt beard. Always quoting Holy Scripture. Dedicated to prayer and the liturgy, but not to the rubrics. Amazingly gentle with penitents, but ferocious with monks and nuns.

Mark@fom4life: God works in everyday life, sometimes when we least expect it. In the ordinary events of our lives, we are called to experience a call and conversion in extraordinary ways.-Father Dan O’Connell,

Mary Beth Giltner@m_b_baker: It hit me yesterday, and I’m still chewing on it today. Jesus in the Gospel rebuked Peter for thinking like a human. As if “thinking as God does” isn’t just an invitation for us, but an expectation. Lord, keep helping me to let the light in. #FridayThoughts

Andy Thomas@sophiaseeker_at: Give God everything, especially your honest thoughts and feelings about Him and those circumstances or people you don’t like. It’s not like He doesn’t know them anyway. No LARPing, no pretending.

Father Chris Pietraszko@FrChrisP:  God is often hidden in ordinary ways.  To those who seek him out, he lifts the veil on such ordinary experiences or perceived realities, and shows us His goodness, beauty, love, inner-unity, being, and truth.  Pray to know Him, hidden in ordinary things, people, and life.

By being transparent and honest with God, you can let Him in to heal your life.

Sr. Miriam James@onegroovynun:  “We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures; we are the sum of the Father’s love for us and our real capacity to become the image of his Son.”—St. John Paul II

Knowledge of God

132Kalpurrnia@kalpurrnia: “We can never attain a maximum love of God with only a minimum knowledge of God.” – Frank Sheed

Fr. Harrison Ayre �@FrHarrison: I often get emails that claim to “understand what God is doing in the world”

And I realize more and more how we Christians treat God’s ways and the idea of mystery in a far too modern sense as a code to unlock. This is an epistemology that doesn’t fit with the Christian vision

We gotta figure out how this appearance of Mary is tied to this world event and this is how God is trying to get us to repent” This is Gnosticism, and it’s trying to reduce knowing God’s ways to our level. God’s answer in Job 38-41 should always be a sobering reality check

Patrick Madrid ✌�@patrickmadrid: There is nothing that can be known that God does not know. There is nothing that exists that God does not sovereignly will to exist.

Evidence  of God

Fr. Dwight Longenecker@dlongenecker1: Demanding physical evidence for God’s existence is like trying to take the temperature of music.

The Catholic Talk Show@CatholicTalkSho: An atheist would say that you could take the temperature of music because sound waves inherently create heat. Agree with the sentiment though 🙂
