Listen in silence

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “Listen in silence, because if your heart is full of other things, you cannot hear the voice of God.” St. Mother Teresa

   Go to a Catholic Church, leave the noise of the world, shut off your cell phone, stop solving problems and just put yourself in front of Our Lord.  He will listen to you, he will heal you, he will gently speak to your heart and strengthen you.

God bless,

The Option of Love

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “Faced with today’s problems and disappointments, many people will try to escape from their responsibility. Escape in selfishness, escape in sexual pleasure, escape in drugs, escape in violence, escape in indifference and cynical attitudes. I propose to you the option of love, which is the opposite of escape.” ~St. John Paul II

    During my seminary days in Rome, final exams were the most intense two weeks of the year.  And yet, in the midst of this intensity and stress, there was always a team of seminarians baking chocolate chip cookies during our “siesta”, so we could all enjoy an A+ snack in the afternoon. They chose the option of love!

God bless,

The Gift of Time

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

      “Oh, how precious time is! Blessed are those who know how to make good use of it. Oh, if only all could understand how precious time is, undoubtedly everyone would do his best to spend it in a praiseworthy manner!” St. Padre Pio

   Being alive is a huge gift from God.  My biggest concern is to be in sync with what God wants in each and every moment…trying to discover how he wants me to love.

God bless,

Hypocrisy

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “Be sure that you first preach by the way you live. If you do not, people will notice that you say one thing, but live otherwise, and your words will bring only cynical laughter and a derisive shake of the head.”  St. Charles Borromeo

    Parents, please take heed on this one!

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
