Inspirational thoughts
Worrying too much
TKC!
“Drag your thoughts away from your troubles – by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it.” Mark Twain
You can either focus on the storms or on the sunshine in your life…I find a spirit of gratitude and remembering all of my blessings to be so helpful during the more difficult days.
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Controlling anger
TKC!
“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.” Mark Twain
Anger is a rational response to an injustice…you cannot not “feel” it. But the question is, how long does it take for your Christian response of compassion and eventually forgiveness to kick in?
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Real friendships
TKC!
“When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy–that it is builded upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.” Mark Twain
How many “real” friends do you have? Is Christ your BEST friend?
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
The need for Grace
TKC!
“Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.” Charles Dickens
With the help of God’s grace through regular prayer and the Sacraments, love and kindness tend to flow easier in one’s life.
God bless,

Silence the faculties

The empty tomb
TKC!
“Life is passing, Eternity draws nigh: soon shall we live the very life of God. After having drunk deep at the fount of bitterness, our thirst will be quenched at the very source of all sweetness.” St. Therese of Lisieux
The empty tomb reminds us of our own resurrection, not too far away. Keep your eyes on Jesus and on fulfilling his plan for your life! Happy Easter!!
God bless,

“The endurance of darkness is the preparation for great light.” St. John of the Cross
There is always a crack of light in every darkness…look for it and go towards the light!
