Crying can be a good thing
TKC!
“Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before–more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.” — Charles Dickens

Memorial Day
All in, all the time?
All in, all the time?
Uphill, downhill climbs?
Long days, overtime?
God’s will is sublime,
So silent…no chime,
Mysterious…mime,
Peaceful…paradigm,
Make Christ your internal rhyme!
Following Christ
TKC!
Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but—I hope—into a better shape.” Charles Dickens
This is who we are following. Don’t be surprised by suffering, but try to see the good that God is trying to bring about through your personal crosses!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Tough Love
Chivalry
TKC!
“The age of chivalry is past. Bores have succeeded to dragons.” Charles Dickens
Gentlemen, let’s bring it back! Opening and holding doors (“Ladies first”), holding chairs, offering the handrail and better seats with the view in restaurants, helping to take off and put on coats…and so many other details of deference and courtesy that your wives deserve!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Ready for today?
TKC!
“God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn in no other way.” CS Lewis
Ready for today? All in, all the time? “Jesus, please help me to embrace with trust whatever you send me or allow to happen today, especially if it hurts, looking for the light in the darkness and the good that you are trying to bring about through this cross. Amen.”
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
