Self mastery
TKC!
“Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you’ve conquered human nature.” Charles Dickens
Taking a little more of the food you don’t like, a little less of what you like…small things, but they go a long way in forming self-mastery in other areas as well.

Seeing Christ in the poor
TKC!
“Dear friends, if you learn to discover Jesus in the Eucharist, you will also know how to discover Him in your brothers and sisters, particularly the very poor.” St. John Paul II
It is so much easier to see the face of Jesus in the poor after spending time with him in the Blessed Sacrament!
God bless,

Learning to say “I’m sorry”
All you need is love…
TKC!
“Today Christ is asking each of you the same question: do you love Me? He is not asking you whether you know how to speak to crowds, whether you can direct an organization or manage an estate. He is asking you to love Him. All the rest will ensue.” St. John Paul II
Jesus asked Peter 3 times, “Do you love me?” before re-affirming his mission as our first pope. He did not ask if he was a good administrator, if he spoke multiple languages, if he had a plethora of human qualities…Jesus, first and foremost, needs our love and he will do the rest!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Family Dinners
Family dinners are a special time,
Golden moments to listen and opine.
Mom whips up her best stuff, it tastes so fine!
Parents can take the pulse, in ways sublime.
This demands great effort to make it work,
Putting up with siblings may cause some irks.
A moment to unwind, relax, and smirk…
A “tight knit bond” is one of many perks.
Kids may complain but they yearn for this meal.
Mom and dad’s presence prove their love is real.
Special prayers are said, wounds can often heal.
Please make it work, strive for this ideal.!!
