The little things
TKC!
“To be faithful in little things is a great thing.” St. Teresa of Calcutta
Every single morning, without fail, Fr. Steven Reilly, LC cooks a pot of “Quaker” oatmeal and boils a bunch of eggs for breakfast. The nine padres who live with Fr. Steven are extremely grateful for this daily dose of dogged dedication!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Humility
TKC!
“We learn humility through accepting humiliations cheerfully.” – St. Mother Teresa
Humiliations are the short-cut to the all important virtue of humility. Try to see the spiritual value in these tough moments, and thank Jesus for this huge opportunity to grow!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Leaves changing color
Why do it all?
Harvard, Princeton, and Yale?
Straight A’s…no room to fail?
Timely tutors…travail?
Travel teams…holy grail?
Social graces…details?
But WHY? To what avail?
So Christ’s kingdom prevails?
Is Christ your kid’s best friend?
Prayer? Sunday Mass?…Attend!
Heavenly-bound?…Ascend!
Make everything else bend!
Care in speach
TKC!
“When charity requires it we must freely and mildly communicate to our neighbor not only what is his instruction, but also what is profitable for his consolation.”~St. Francis de Sales.

Bad memories
Pain is gain

“Hardship often prepares an ordinary person for an extraordinary destiny.”
― C.S. Lewis
My experience has been that those who have suffered more, and embraced this as God’s plan with a deep faith, tend to have a little more “spark”, a little more character and a little more joy in their hearts. “Those who sow in tears will reap with hearts rejoicing!” (Psalm 126:5)
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
