Leaning into Jesus
TKC!
“A Catholic is a person who has plucked up courage to face the incredible and inconceivable idea that something else may be wiser than he is.” G.K. Chesterton
No matter how smart, tough, tenacious and even lucky you are, you simply cannot live a heroic life of virtue and self-giving without God’s wisdom and God’s strength. Be humble and lean into Jesus!!
God bless,

Limiting alcohol consumption
Risk of progress
TKC!
“Progress should mean that we are always changing the world to fit the vision, instead we are always changing the vision.” G.K. Chesterton
Silence to reflect, meaningful conversations without the buzz or interruption of the phone, capacity to notice other peoples suffering around you…a risk of one aspect of “progress” with our phone addiction.
God bless,

When and how to evangelize
Holy Communion
TKC!
When we have been to Holy Communion, the balm of love envelops the soul as the flower envelops the bee. ~ Saint Jean Vianney
Nothing better for the soul, than to allow Jesus to enter and envelop your soul with his love!
God bless,

No time to pray?
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,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
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
