“The worldly man treats certain people kindly because he ‘likes’ them: the Christian, trying to treat every one kindly, finds him liking more and more people as he goes on – including people he could not even have imagined himself liking at the beginning.” G.K. Chesterton
“This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.” -St. Augustine
“Humility is truth.” (St. Teresa of Avila). We all have our qualities and virtues as well as our imperfections….to define ourselves exclusively by either one is not healthy! God bless,Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
“We need not despair even in our worst, for our failures are forgiven. The only fatal thing is to sit down content with anything less than perfection.” G.K Chesterton
God’s biggest concern is not how often we fail or fall, but how quickly we get back up!
“It comes the very moment you wake up each morning. All your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in.” G.K. Chesterton
Make God your first thought in the morning. Personally, I say out loud from my pillow, “Jesus, I love you. This day is for you! We got this!”God bless,Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

“Perfect love means putting up with other people’s shortcomings, feeling no surprise at their weaknesses, finding encouragement even in the slightest evidence of good qualities in them.” St. Therese of Lisieux
Patience with the imperfections and quirkiness of the others…all for Christ!
