Alive today? What a grace!
Lucid eyes to see this place,
Healthy legs to keep the pace,
Active minds to read God’s trace,
Tomorrow…the gift of taste!
Best of all, our Catholic Faith,
To persevere, win the race!!
The Glory of God
Poets producing…prophetic pearls,
Writers weaving…wisdom’s wonderful whirls,
Speakers speaking…sound, salutary sage,
Singers singing…soft symphonies (on) stage.
Workers working…wearily winning wage.
Human haughtiness? God’s greater glory?
On Judgement day, what will be your story?
Christ as Your Caddy
With Christ as your caddie…your attaché:
You’ll hit em straight…keep it in the fairway,
Lower your handicap…in medal play.
Spiritual “pars, birdies”…on display!
Allow Jesus to mold and shape the clay,
Wisdom and strength…inundate those who pray,
Jolting your soul…more than cafe au lait!
Please don’t wait for tomorrow, start today!!
Trust In God
Darkness, doubt, despair…pain?
Devil’s deception…feign?
Watching, wondering…strain?
Working, worrying…migraine?
Live in the moment…now!
Be faithful to your vows!
Don’t ask God why? But how?
Whatever He allows!
Embrace His plan…kowtow!

Heading out for vacation
God’s short cut
TKC!
“The way Jesus shows you is not easy. Rather, it is like a path winding up a mountain. Do not lose heart! The steeper the road, the faster it rises towards ever wider horizons.” St. John Paul II
Sometimes the pathway of our life can be rugged, but don’t forget that this is often a shortcut provided by God for us to reach the top faster!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Scheming or serving?
Mary’s intercession
TKC!
“Mary our mother sustains us in moments of darkness, difficulty, and apparent defeat.” – Pope Francis
Our Blessed Mother was at the foot of her son’s cross and she is close by during all of our difficulties as well. Lean into her, and trust in the power of her intercession. Jesus cannot say no to his mom!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
