Focus on inspiring others
TKC!
“What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but an absence of self-criticism.” G.K. Chesterton
At times, constructive and charitably imparted criticism can be helpful. But it is usually much more effective to first correct your own imperfections with God’s help, and focus more on inspiring people with your holiness!

The Divine Sculptor
TKC!
“All men and women are entrusted to make a masterpiece of their lives.” St. John Paul II
Are you allowing the divine sculptor (the Holy Spirit within you) to chisel his image of what your life should be or are you putting up resistance? Happy Feast of Pentecost!!
God bless,

Heaven, Hell and Purgatory
Leaning into Jesus
TKC!
“A Catholic is a person who has plucked up courage to face the incredible and inconceivable idea that something else may be wiser than he is.” G.K. Chesterton
No matter how smart, tough, tenacious and even lucky you are, you simply cannot live a heroic life of virtue and self-giving without God’s wisdom and God’s strength. Be humble and lean into Jesus!!
God bless,

Limiting alcohol consumption
Risk of progress
TKC!
“Progress should mean that we are always changing the world to fit the vision, instead we are always changing the vision.” G.K. Chesterton
Silence to reflect, meaningful conversations without the buzz or interruption of the phone, capacity to notice other peoples suffering around you…a risk of one aspect of “progress” with our phone addiction.
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
