The voice of conscience
TKC!
“It is often said that second thoughts are best. So they are in matters of judgment but not in matters of conscience.” Blessed Cardinal Newman
Our conscience usually lets us see things clearly right away…the trouble begins when we start dialoging with the devil and our passions. He knows our weakness and knows how to convince us to go against that gentle voice of God.
God bless,

Is your presence peaceful?
Avoid over analysis
TKC!
“Courage does not consist in calculation, but in fighting against chances.” Blessed Cardinal Newman
The more a golfer thinks about dumping his ball in the water or hitting it out of bounds, the more likely it will happen. Just line up and hit your shots in life, without excessive analysis, and trust that God will take care of the rest!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Focus on pleasing God
Over the hill?
TKC!
“To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent…that is to triumph over old age.” Thomas Aldrich
Over 50 does not mean “over the hill.” Age gracefully, but sharpen your body and your soul so you can last a little longer….run a marathon, keep reading and writing, challenge yourself spiritually and be open to where God may want to take you!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Hope: Finding light in your darkness
Happy Mother’s Day!
Make Sunday sacred again!
Family life can be messy
TKC!
“[Reality] is not neat, not obvious, not what you expect.” CS Lewis
Family life can be messy and things do not always go your way…learn how to embrace the unexpected unpleasantries with great love!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
