Divine tapestries

by

God gently guiding…”Providence” controlled,
Linen or cotton…silk, silver or gold,
Terrific tapestries…slowly unfold.
 
Threads of joy, sorrow…color life’s fabric,
Unexpected loss of life…so tragic!
Flus, colds, broken bones…need to be there too,
Trust the divine weaver…no bugaboo!
 
God’s hidden love…is the silver lining,
Our true happiness…drives his designing,
Give him the needle and thread…start shining!

Not annoying

by

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment.” CS Lewis

    True virtue is tested when your feelings and emotions are not going your way, when things simply go wrong, and you feel the world is against you…this is the time to say, “Christ, I love you, and I will be a kind person, even now, when it hurts, with the hope of offering a little consolation to your Sacred Heart.”

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

End abortions!

by

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends in Christ,

     “Abortion destroys the image of God.  It is the most terrible plague in our society, the greatest killer of love and peace.  Those little children still unborn have been created for bigger things: to love and to be loved.”  St. Mother Teresa

    Let’s pray not only for an end to an abortion, but also for all women who have had abortions.  Their darkness, pain and emotional suffering often runs very deep…”Lord, please heal their broken hearts with the healing power of your merciful love!”

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Gossip

by

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “Gossip can also kill, because it kills the reputation of the person! It is so terrible to gossip! At first it may seem like a nice thing, even amusing, like enjoying a candy. But in the end, it fills the heart with bitterness, and even poisons us.” (Pope Francis, Angelus, Feb. 16, 2014).

    Before you say, spread or post a “lie”, try to separate yourself from the angry or jealous feelings that you may feel towards that particular person, and reflect on the damage that will be done.  Even “stretching” the truth in a negative light can have extremely hurtful consequences…humility and magnanimity are a big part of being Christian. In the end, you are also hurting yourself as well…

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
