Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“When I am incapable of praying or practicing virtue, then is the moment to look for small occasions, nothings, to give You pleasure. For example, a smile, a friendly word, when I should much prefer to say nothing at all or look bored…. When I find no occasions, at least I want to keep telling You that I love You; it is not difficult and it keeps the fire of love going.” (St. Thèrése of the Child Jesus, Letters, 122)
When your emotional and mental batteries are running low, when you are having a rough day and it seems like everything and everyone is against you, when you simply want to just shut down and go to bed…this is the golden time of deep virtue! Try to smile, say a friendly word and try your best to show Jesus that you really do love him.
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
