Slowly, silently, suddenly…SNOW!
Coldly carpeting, culminating…
Slowly shoveling, slipping…solo?
Calmly creating…captivating!
Skiing, snowboarding, sledding, skating…
Celestial cloudage conveying…
Sculptured snowflakes subtly saying…
Christ carefully communicating…
Surreptitiously stating…God loves you!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Nothing happens without God’s permission,
His perfect plan takes time to fruition.
Trust in his love, wisdom…crush suspicion!
Lean into Faith…not just intuition,
Freedom, providence…juxtaposition!
Humility is the key condition,
To live out Jesus’ plan…HIS volition!
What is your internal disposition?
Forgotten, forsaken…frozen,
Cherished, cuddled, caressed…chosen.
Jarringly jettisoned…jungle!
Heavenly hiatus…humble!
Why did Jesus leave paradise?
Love…love for YOU, to be precise!
Faithful, fabulous, fascinating…friend!
Radiant, regal, righteous…recommend!
Delightful devotedness…dividend!
Trinitarian thoughtfulness…transcend!
Christ cares, cherishes, comforts…comprehend?
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Humans have so many needs!
Too many are “in the weeds”,
Plowing through at such high speeds,
High anxiety proceeds…
“Please come to me!”- Jesus pleads!
Trust totally—openly,
Pray piously—quietly,
Give graciously—spaciously,
God meets needs….tenaciously!
God bless,

Thanksgiving Day Poem
Alive today? What a grace!
Lucid eyes to see this place,
Healthy legs to keep the pace,
Active minds to read God’s trace,
Tomorrow…the gift of taste!
Best of all, our Catholic Faith,
To persevere, win the race!!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Poets producing…prophetic pearls,
Writers weaving…wisdom’s wonderful whirls,
Speakers speaking…sound, salutary sage,
Singers singing…soft symphonies (on) stage.
Workers working…wearily winning wage.
Human haughtiness? God’s greater glory?
On Judgement day, what will be your story?
With Christ as your caddie…your attaché:
You’ll hit em straight…keep it in the fairway,
Lower your handicap…in medal play.
Spiritual “pars, birdies”…on display!
Allow Jesus to mold and shape the clay,
Wisdom and strength…inundate those who pray,
Jolting your soul…more than cafe au lait!
Please don’t wait for tomorrow, start today!!
Children’s continual…clamoring,
Crying, complaining…chattering,
Ceaselessly cackling…clattering.
Mother’s maternal…mannering,
Graciously giving…gathering,
Beamingly blissful…bantering,
Always attentive…answering,
Selflessly serving…staggering!
