Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“My greatest happiness is to be before the Blessed Sacrament, where my heart is, as it were, in Its center.” St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
Several years ago, as I was coming out of a Parish youth activity in Northern Virginia, a fifteen seater van full of kids pulled up and the mom rolled the window and asked, “Fr. Michael, would you mind just staying here with these kids for 5-10 minutes? I really need to make a visit to Jesus in the chapel!” She looked a little frazzled and tired, so I agreed, and tried to do a catechism competition to keep them engaged. Ten minutes later, she came out with a big smile on her face and thanked me from the heart. She had filled her spiritual tank and was ready to go!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
