Jesus is always close
“There’s nothing more calming in difficult moments that knowing there’s some one fighting with you.” St. Teresa of Calcutta
You may not see Him, you may not feel Him, you may not hear Him…but never doubt that Jesus loves you intensely and he is very close, right by your side!
God bless,

Look for the good
Slow down!
“Without patience, we will learn less in life. We will see less. We will feel less. We will hear less. Ironically, rush and more usually mean less.” St. Mother Teresa
BE in the moment, right here, right now with the person who is right in front of you…and allow God’s love to start working!
God bless,

Bridge builder or wall builder?
A leap of Faith
Take a leap of Faith…God’s in control!
Put your trust in Him…with heart and soul,
Jesus does not deceive…or cajole!
But when his plan begins…to unroll,
Don’t be surprised…when you hit potholes,
The cross of Christ…is our totem pole!
Embrace “your” cross…don’t look for loopholes,
Especially if heaven’s your goal!
Patience with others
TKC!
“Patience obtains everything.” St. Teresa of Avila
If only we could all live this virtue more effectively…not to snap, not to judge and show anger, not to say hurtful words…but this effort is absolutely impossible without the help of God’s grace. Daily Mass, regular Confession, meditative prayer based on Scripture, rosary and marian devotion= FULL patience guage!!
God bless,

Catching the wave…of God’s inspiration
Hug your porcupine
TKC!
Always remember to love your neighbor; always prefer the one who tries your patience, who tests your virtue, because with her you can always merit: suffering is Love; the Law is Love. –Bl Mary of Jesus Crucified
Shortcut to sanctity and inner peace= hug your porcupine!!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
