Your fishbowl
“How can we answer to ourselves for the souls who have in our times lived and died in sin; the souls that have been lost and are now waiting for the judgment, seeing that for what we know, we were ordained to influence or reverse their present destiny and have not done it?” Blessed Cardinal Newman
Who has God providentially placed in your fishbowl? Are you leading them closer to Jesus?
Sincere gratitude
Christ is always with us
“The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too.” St. Teresa of Avila
Jesus is there, through thick and thin, good times and bad. Never doubt his loving presence and do not be afraid to ask Him for help!
Christian dignity
Positive change
“Don’t ever take a fence down until you know the reason it was put up.” C.S. Lewis
Change is generally a good and and necessary thing for growth both professionally and personally, but always keeping the “good” from the past and building on and around it.
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Accepting others
Wasting time?
“We have only short moments of this life to work for God’s glory. The devil knows this and that is why he tries to make us waste time in useless things. O, let us not waste our time! Let us save souls!” St. Therese of Lisieux

Teaching the Faith
“To teach even a child to make the sign of the cross or instruct one of God’s little ones, is a nobler work in the eyes of God than all human and natural undertakings.” St. John Eudes
Parents, please do not totally delegate the teaching of the Catholic Faith to CCD or even your Catholic school…teach your children what you believe from the heart!!
