Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“Prayer is the place of refuge for every worry, a foundation for cheerfulness, a source of constant happiness, a protection against sadness.” St. John Chrysostom

Make time for prayer during the day! Don’t rush it, don’t go through the motions…allow God to fully fill your heart with his love!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“Love burdens itself with the wants and woes and losses and even the wrongs of others.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

On a recent train ride a single mom confided to me that she has not seen or heard from her son in 3 years. He got into drugs and many other vices and simply disappeared, never to come back…as tears were coming out of her eyes, she asked me to pray for him. This love of a mother made me think how much God the Father loves each and every soul out there, and how he never gives up in trying to bring the lost sheep back to the fold.
God bless,

Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“Be slow to pass judgment.” St. John Bosco
During my internship in Washington, DC as a seminarian, I had the privilege of teaching a ccd class of 8th graders. On the first day of class, I heard a roar coming from my classroom as I walked in; one of the boys was swinging from beam to beam on the ceiling and the class was cheering his progress. This boy jumped down when he saw me, sauntered up to me and laughingly shook my hand. So, although my first impression was not the best, I did spend extra time with this boy and tried to be patient….especially when I later realized that he came from a very dysfunctional family with real abuse issues. He thanked me at the end of the year with sincere gratitude, more than any student in that class, and I learned never to put anybody in a box based on first impressions!
