Heading out for vacation
God’s short cut
TKC!
“The way Jesus shows you is not easy. Rather, it is like a path winding up a mountain. Do not lose heart! The steeper the road, the faster it rises towards ever wider horizons.” St. John Paul II
Sometimes the pathway of our life can be rugged, but don’t forget that this is often a shortcut provided by God for us to reach the top faster!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Scheming or serving?
Mary’s intercession
TKC!
“Mary our mother sustains us in moments of darkness, difficulty, and apparent defeat.” – Pope Francis
Our Blessed Mother was at the foot of her son’s cross and she is close by during all of our difficulties as well. Lean into her, and trust in the power of her intercession. Jesus cannot say no to his mom!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Toxic relationships
The small things done with love…
TKC!
“Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing.” St. Therese of Lisieux
It can be the small things, like unstacking the dishwasher when nobody is around, done out of pure love for Christ. So powerful!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Going the extra mile
Father’s Day prayer
My prayer to Jesus for the dads on Father’s day: “Jesus, please give all these dads a shepherd’s heart. A heart that truly “knows” his sheep, a heart that sacrifices himself for his sheep, a heart that prays daily for the spiritual well-being of his sheep. Please Lord, remind these men how important their role is in your eyes. Help them see that you have entrusted these children to them, and how much you are counting on them to lead them to your heart and your friendship. Finally, remind them that the greatest gift they can give their kids is to be a holy witness and to have a great marriage, to be incredible husbands who are dedicated to their wives. Grant them the wisdom to know your will, and the strength to follow it, whatever the cost. Amen.”
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
