Holy Spirit poem

by

Sanctifying…silently, slowly,

Evangelizing…humbly, holy,

Tranquilizing…carefully, closely!

The sweet and gentle guest of our soul,

Softly inspires, tries to cajole,

Our “Christification” as it’s goal.

Give him the helm, and total control!

The Gift of the Eucharist

by

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends in Christ,

“If angels could be jealous of men, they would be so for one reason: Holy Communion.”  St. Maximilian Kolbe

   The homily may not always resonate, you may not like the architecture in your Church, the music might be a little flat, there may not be coffee and donuts after Mass…but every Catholic Mass guarantees that you will receive 100% Christ into your heart and soul, that is 100% God, in the Eucharist.  What a gift and what a mystery!!

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Like a flower in bloom

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “The more the flower of humility blossoms in a soul, the greater is the good odor it imparts to her who possesses it, to those who behold her, and to those who are about her.” -Saint Teresa of Avila

     Many years ago, I was at a board meeting with a large group of ladies.  Two new ladies had come that day and one came up to me afterwards and asked the name of a particular lady who sat close to her.  She said, “Fr. Michael, I could tell there was something different about this woman…she had a soft glow, a gentle smile, a profound peace…she only said a few words, but they had a huge impact on me.”  This woman truly was special and I believe that her daily Mass, regular adoration, strong devotion to Mary, and her authentic humility had a lot to do with it!
