Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends in Christ,
“You can pray while you work. Work doesn’t stop prayer and prayer doesn’t stop work. It requires only that small raising of the mind to him: I love you God, I trust you, I believe in you, I need you now. Small things like that. They are wonderful prayers.” St. Mother Teresa
The key is to have constant awareness of the presence of Christ as your traveling companion, friend and older brother. Strive for conversations with Christ or the Blessed Mother from the heart, taking a break from work/technology and re-charging your spiritual batteries. For example, you can say these words as you are getting closer to home while in the car, “Jesus, I have had a long day at work and am about to walk in the door. Please give me strength and patience to be a loving presence for my family”
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
