Joy
TKC!
“Joy can be real only if people look on their life as a service, and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness.” Leo Tolstoy
Happiness is fleeting and tends to be more on the surface…joy/peace is deeper and more lasting, the fruit of a life of prayer, hard fought virtue, and a selfless disposition.
God bless,

God’s creative work
TKC!
“If, then, I were asked for the most important advice I could give, that which I considered to be the most useful to the men of our century, I should simply say: in the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.” – Leo Tolstoy
Noticing a beautiful sunrise or sunset, looking up at the stars at night….so important to take stock of the beauty and majesty of God’s creative work and to remind ourselves of His existence.
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Patient Endurance
TKC!
“Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow- that is patience.” Leo Tolstoy
Beautiful gardens do not just “appear” on the scene. Beautiful souls are the fruit of a lot of patient endurance in virtue with constant prayer watering the garden…hard, slow and steady, all out of love for God!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Embracing your cross with love
The meaning of life
TKC!
“Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.” Leo Tolstoy
Purpose of life: Created by God to know Him, love Him and serve Him in others…and eventually to be with him forever in eternal life.
God bless,
