Real love
TKC!
“Love, to be real, must empty us of self.” St. Teresa of Calcutta
Sometimes, it can be really hard to love and be nice to someone, especially when they take it for granted or show little respect or appreciation. It’s easy to love our friends, but we know that Christ also wants us to go where it can be tough as well!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Jesus, I love you. This day is for you!

Spiritual time outs
TKC!
“Retire at various times into the solitude of your own heart, even while outwardly engaged in discussions or transactions with others, and talk to God.” St. Francis de Sales
A brief spiritual “time out” to converse with Our Lord, can be so helpful to regain the focus and generosity needed to keep going strong!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Put love!
TKC!
“Where there is no love, pour love in, and you will draw out love.” St. John of the Cross
Some people can just be difficult to love. Yet, they give us an incredible opportunity to love in a pure and disinterested way, with no advantage or perk coming our way.
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Self-mastery
The gift of presence
TKC!
“It’s much better to do good in a way that nobody knows anything about it.” Leo Tolstoy
Sometimes the simple gift of “presence” when you don’t feel like it can go a long way!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Rejoice in other’s victories!
Forgiveness
TKC!
“If you are suffering from a bad man’s injustice, forgive him, lest there be two bad men.” — St. Augustine
You can get upset, you can let it ruin your day or even your week, you can plot out revenge, you can spread bad rumors about the person who hurt you…or like, Christ, you can say, “Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do”, pray for them and ask God to help you forgive them from the heart. This is the pathway to peace and holiness…
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
