Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “We have close to us an angelic spirit who never leaves us for an instant from the cradle to the grave, who guides and protects us like a friend or a brother.” St. Padre Pio

    Today, October 2, is the feast of Guardian Angels.  Take advantage to thank your angel for all of his love and protection that he has given you!

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “You know well enough that Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, but at the love with which we do them.”  Saint Therese of Lisieux

    Small things done with great love impress God.

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

God has a plan

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “One of the chief uses of religion is that it makes us remember our coming from darkness, the simple fact that we are created.” G.K. Chesterton

    Although our DNA and material form certainly came from our parents, God created our soul.  He has a particular plan for each one of us, and there are particular souls that he wants to love through you.  This is the path to deep, personal fulfillment and profound, inner peace!

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Love is Real!

Love is so practical, love is REAL,

Based on action, not on how you feel!

Supporting the annual appeal,

Not poking other’s Achilles’ heel,

Going the extra mile…not piecemeal,

Giving when it hurts…without a squeal:

Twice baked potatoes…a home cooked meal,

Good manners, patience…being genteel,

Behind the scenes…without the newsreel,

Compassionate love…not hearts of steel,

Praying for souls…in a Church, yes, kneel!

Walking in Christ’s footsteps- our Ideal!

Forgiveness in the Family

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “And they need Jesus’ help to walk beside one another in trust, to accept one another each day, and daily to forgive one another. And this is important! To know how to forgive one another in families because we all make mistakes, all of us! Sometimes we do things which are not good and which harm others. It is important to have the courage to ask for forgiveness when we are at fault in the family.” Pope Francis

     As my older brother Tom was teaching me how to play golf, I brought back the club without realizing that he was behind me, and cut open his lip with the face of the club.  When he returned home with 7 stitches, he came up to me with a smile and said, “Don’t worry, Mike.  I know you didn’t mean to do it, and besides, having a scar will make me look tougher.”

God bless,
