Preparing for Mass and Confession
Resisting temptation
TKC!
“Remember that it is not feeling of guilt that constitutes sin but the consent to sin. Only the free will is capable of good or evil. But when the will sighs under the trial of the tempter and does not will what is presented to it, there is not only no fault but there is virtue.” St. Padre Pio
Feeling tempted is not sinful; consciously consenting is when you cross the line. Temptation can be a golden opportunity to grow in virtue and holiness.

God wants us to care about everyone
God’s Glory?
TKC!
“Do all the good you can and make as little fuss about it as possible.” Charles Dickens
What is driving your acts of kindness? God’s glory…or something else?
God bless,

Healthy change
TKC!
“New thoughts and hopes were whirling through my mind, and all the colours of my life were changing.” Charles Dickens
Being open to new ideas and new ways of thinking, praying, processing…can often be a part of God’s growth plan for you.
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
