Trusting in Jesus
Worrying too much
TKC!
“Drag your thoughts away from your troubles – by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it.” Mark Twain
You can either focus on the storms or on the sunshine in your life…I find a spirit of gratitude and remembering all of my blessings to be so helpful during the more difficult days.
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
If God loves everyone, we should too!
Controlling anger
TKC!
“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.” Mark Twain
Anger is a rational response to an injustice…you cannot not “feel” it. But the question is, how long does it take for your Christian response of compassion and eventually forgiveness to kick in?
God bless,

Spiritual direction
Real friendships
TKC!
“When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy–that it is builded upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.” Mark Twain
How many “real” friends do you have? Is Christ your BEST friend?
God bless,

Umbrella of grace
The blues and blahs
Woeful, weary, winter?
Spiritual splinter?
Bellowing, bleating…blahs?
Praying? Pondering?…Pause!!
Leave the selfish faux pas,
Make Christ’s Kingdom your cause!
The need for Grace
TKC!
“Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.” Charles Dickens
With the help of God’s grace through regular prayer and the Sacraments, love and kindness tend to flow easier in one’s life.
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
