Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends in Christ,
“Don’t let life happen’; take your life into your own hands and make the decision to turn it into an authentic and personal masterpiece!” (St. John Paul II)
It is too easy to make excuses for ourselves. Child of origin issues, health issues, socio-economic disadvantages, and the list can go on. My dad was born in East Detroit (rough part of town), son of a Detroit fireman, lost his only brother due to a kidney problem, and he was drafted in WWII right after High School. He went to the University of Detroit on the GI bill after the war, started out as a Foreman at Ford and gradually worked his way up to a respectable position in the company. He took his faith and his marriage seriously, and he taught me so many valuable lessons along the way. Thanks Dad!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
