Inspirational thoughts
Attachments
TKC!
“Even God cannot fill what is full already. We must empty ourselves so that God can fill us.” St. Teresa of Calcutta
God wants everyone of you to be happy, but he can’t put his loving grace in your heart, if there is no room. Which unhealthy attachments/numbing mechanisms need to be addressed in your life? Are you willing to let God operate and gently take these away?
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Control of the tongue
TKC!
“The person who doesn’t hurt others through speech, through the tongue, is already holy.” St. Teresa of Calcutta
It takes tremendous self control, and ultimately, a deep love for Christ, not to let loose or explode with your tongue. This is true love, in a very real and very practical way!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
The Light of Christ
TKC!
“Darkness can only be scattered by light, and hatred can only be conquered by love.” St. John Paul II
Bring the light of Christ into your darkness! Make time to pray and light this candle in your heart, allowing him to scatter the doubts and negativity that are trying to take away your peace!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Don’t complain
TKC!
“Do not forget that true love sets no conditions. It does not calculate or complain, but simply loves.” St. John Paul II
Love is more beautiful when it it costly and done with a smile. I most admire people who carry heavy burdens with health issues, emotional pains, sleepless nights…and yet, they still muster kindness and patience…yet, this is impossible without God’s grace!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
God Loves you!
TKC!
“Open your minds and hearts to the beauty of all that God has made and to His special, personal love for each one of you.” St. John Paul II
When you hear the birds melodiously chirping, or feel the warmth of the sun shining or the cool breeze whisking by, when you see a beautiful sunset or sunrise…this is God trying to tell you, “This is all for you. I love you, yes “YOU”, in a personal way, and I will never abandon you or forget about you.”
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Trust in God
TKC!
“Jesus will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness. Only then, will his hand be free with you.” St. Teresa of Calcutta
David beat Goliath, Moses beat Pharoah, Noah beat the flood,…with God, with his help and grace, you too can do all things!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Spiritual guides
Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends in Christ,
“Listen to me! If you do not give time to prayer nor accept the counsel of a spiritual guide, the confusion of the world can even succeed in drowning God’s voice.” (St. John Paul II, March 21, 2002)
Ever since 7th grade, I have had the grace of a holy priest to guide me in my spiritual life. Life can be confusing and our passions and emotions can often cloud our reason. My spiritual guides have helped me to grow in my prayer life and to see the crosses and challenges of life through the eyes of Faith. Personally, when I offer spiritual guidance, I always begin with a prayer to the Holy Spirit, because I know that his inspiration and illumination is what is most needed.
Pentecost
TKC!
Please see my latest LifeZette article in preparation for the feast of Pentecost tomorrow.
No mother, no son
“No Mary, no Jesus…no mother, no son.” St. Teresa of Calcutta
Plain and simple. Jesus cannot say no to his mom. To Jesus through Mary!
God bless,
