Inspirational thoughts
Encountering difficulties
TKC!
“When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time.” St. Francis de Sales
Patient endurance out of love for Christ is the key…a gentle response and waiting for the storm to pass, eventually leads to calm and blue skies.
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Loving God when it gets tough
TKC!
“A sign that we love truly love God is that we love Him the same in all occasions.” St. Francis de Sales
Do we thank God for the tougher moments, for giving us an opportunity to grow in virtue and test our moral fortitude? When the going gets tough, the true Christian tries to love God even more!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Joy
TKC!
“Joy is a net of love by which we catch souls.” St. Mother Teresa
Joy is the fruit of a grateful, prayerful, humble, and selfless heart. There is nothing more effective for evangelization!

Patient Endurance
TKC!
“Not all those who wander are lost.” – J.R.R. Tolkien
The most direct route to Florida from Michigan would be 1-75 south. Parents of millenials, if your child decided to go West to South Dakota, and leave the Catholic Faith, try to accompany them with your love and prayers…and eventually, with the help of God’s grace, they will gradually meander back to optimal path. A lot of prayer and patient endurance is needed!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Ordinary life
Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“Holiness is found in a path opened to us in our daily lives, the duties of our daily lives are offered to us with unequal attractiveness.” St. Francis de Sales
Most days for most people are fairly ordinary. Live the ordinary with extraordinary love…forget about yourself and try to make others around you happy! Christ wants to touch them and inspire them through you!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
TKC!
“Deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised.” J.R.R. Tolkien
I still remember one of our priests washing all of our cars one day…he never mentioned it to anyone and I happen to notice just as we was finishing mine.
God bless,

Finding God in NYC
TKC!

Jesus is always there
TKC!
“Above all shadows rides the sun.” J.R.R. Tolkien
Christ is always there, very close, riding just above the shadows and storms of life. This is where our Faith has to kick in and remind you that Jesus is allowing this darkness and he is trying to bring some immense good from it.
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Loving your enemies
TKC!
“So loving my enemies does not apparently mean thinking them nice either. That is an enormous relief.” CS Lewis
You may not LIKE the difficult people that God has placed in your life, but as a Christian, you have to try your best to LOVE them. Allow Christ to love them through you!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
