Small acts of kindness
“No one is useless in this world,” retorted the Secretary, “who lightens the burden of it for any one else.” Charles Dickens
It’s as simple as being attentive to the needs of others and taking action to lessen their burdens.

Filling up heaven
A Look of love
“A silent look of affection and regard when all other eyes are turned coldly away–the consciousness that we possess the sympathy and affection of one being when all others have deserted us–is a hold, a stay, a comfort, in the deepest affliction, which no wealth could purchase, or power bestow.” Charles Dickens
My mom, dad and siblings all gave me that “look”…and my Legionary priests also offer that tremendous brotherhood…give this gift to your friends!
God bless,

God bless you!
Grateful hearts
“It’s a poor heart that never rejoices.” Charles Dickens
Grateful hearts often rejoice…focus more on the blessings and God’s tremendous love for you!

Dealing with the devil
Do you “care”?
“It is because I think so much of warm and sensitive hearts, that I would spare them from being wounded.” Charles Dickens
Some people are a little more sensitive…do “you” care?

Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ
Small stuff…done with love!
“He was simply and staunchly true to his duty alike in the large case and in the small. So all true souls ever are. So every true soul ever was, ever is, and ever will be. There is nothing little to the really great in spirit.” Charles Dickens
Cooking a meal, paying the bills, doing the laundry, preparing the morning coffee, remembering people’s birthdays and anniversary’s, praying for others…the small stuff, but done with love, means SO MUCH!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
