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

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,

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.

Dear Friends, in Christ,
“Jesus is with you even when you don’t feel His presence. He is never so close to you as He is during your spiritual battles. He is always there, close to you, encouraging you to fight your battle courageously. He is there to ward off the enemy’s blows so that you may not be hurt.” St. Padre Pio
Jesus is right there, he cares tremendously about YOU…allow him to help!

Dear Friends, in Christ,
“We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures; we are the sum of the Father’s love for us.” St. John Paul II
You do not need to “impress” or “win over” God. His love is unconditional, constant and intense…allow him to love you!
God bless,

Dear Friends, in Christ,
“Don’t shine so others can see you. Shine so that, through you, others can see Him.” CS Lewis
It is always a good thing to occasionally question your intentionality: Is it all about you or is it all about God and his glory?

Dear Friends, in Christ,
“To maintain a joyful family requires much from both the parents and the children. Each member of the family has to become, in a special way, the servant of the others.” St. John Paul II
Charity begins with mom and dad setting the tone. My parents were not perfect, but they certainly taught us kindness, and my older sister, Deb, really showed my two brothers and I what it looked like…the home should be the “school of charity” for every child.
God bless,
