Dear Friends in Christ,
It has been a real pleasure to serve all of you through my daily Gospel videos and reflections. Your supportive comments and emails are very encouraging, and I am glad that this simple service has been useful to you and your families.
Once again, I would like to make my annual request for help. I know that many of you have already been extremely generous in showing your financial support both in DC and NY, so for those who have already given, thank you!! With 14 priests, seminarians, and mission corps young men currently living in our house in DC and 8 priests living in our house in NY, we have a combined annual budget of $250,000 and hope to send an additional $30,000 to our seminary in Cheshire, Ct. to support their needs as well. The donations will be divided 50-50 between NY and DC. Please consider being an ANGEL FOR A DAY, whose support will be felt all year by many, by using the link below to make a tax deductible donation*:

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “I plead with you! Never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire, and never become discouraged. Be not afraid.” St. John Paul II

     With Christ at your side and in your heart, there is no reason to ever be afraid…and we should not be surprised if he is asking us to walk in his footsteps, which does entail suffering at times, but also guarantees spiritual growth and fulfillment.

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Illuminated by Joy

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “The end for which we are created invites us to walk a road that is surely sown with a lot of thorns, but it is not sad; through even the sorrow, it is illuminated by joy.” St. Pier Giorgio Frassati

    St. John Paul II suffered so much…but he was a man of such deep joy!  His mother, sister, brother and dad died before he was 21 years old, he suffered from communist oppression for so many years, and he had multiple health issues, including a bullet wound, cancer and Parkinson’s…but that joy never left his face!

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

The wind of the Holy Spirit

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

 “Those who have the wind of the Holy Spirit in their souls glide ahead even while they sleep.  If the vessel of our soul is still being tossed by winds or storms, we should wake the Lord, who has been resting with us all along, and He will quickly calm the sea.” Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection

God bless,

An enraged elephant

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “Nothing appeases an enraged elephant so much as the sight of a little lamb.” –St. Francis de Sales

    When arrogance and pride come trampling towards you, respond with humility, and they will stop dead in their tracks.

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
