Giving into temptation
TKC!
“A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is… A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.”
― C.S. Lewis

Deep roots

How deep is your love for Christ? Is there anything that you would not do out of love for him?

Pride
Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends in Christ,
“For pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.” C.S. Lewis
Listen to others, respect others, and don’t impose your opinion as the only and best option. It is possible that the other person’s idea might actually be better and if not, charity is often more important than “winning” or proving you were right.
Unanswered prayers
St. Therese
Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends in Christ,
“There have been many saints who have gone before to guide us, but I like the ones who are simple, like St. Theresa of Lisieux, the Little Flower of Jesus. I chose her as my namesake because she did ordinary things with extraordinary love.” St. Mother Teresa
I have a picture of this holy card of St. Theresa on my desk. Simple innocence, purity, joy, true charity and surrender to God…what a gift for all of us!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
