“Praise is the mode of love which always has some element of joy in it.” CS Lewis
Our world today is generally too meager in offering praise. Not flattery, not manipulation…sincere praise for a job well done.

Remembering God’s Love
Moving on
TKC!
“The real trouble about the duty of forgiveness is that you do it with all your might on Monday and then find on Wednesday that it hasn’t stayed put and all has to be done over again.” CS Lewis
At times, you can only “move on” with the help of God’s grace. But you need to let him know how bad you want it…
God bless,

Being there for others
Dealing with difficult people
TKC!
“It is great wisdom to know how to be silent and to look at neither the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others.” St. John of the Cross
Most of the time, the nastiness of others has nothing to do with you. Let it go, don’t “react” and try to feel some compassion for this hurt person.
God bless,

Sibling rivalry
Perfection is not the focus of God
Late for carpool, over cooking the rice?
Slipping into an occasional vice?
Pushed way too hard, tired of sacrifice?
As a friend of Christ, I have some advice:
Perfection is not the focus of God,
He knows that you are inherently flawed!
He rules with mercy…not an iron rod,
It’s your love and effort that he applauds!
Lean into Him…leave aside the façade!!
Never give up
TKC!
“Never give up on prayer, and should you find dryness and difficulty, persevere in it for this very reason. God often desires to see what love your soul has, and love is not tried by ease and satisfaction.” St. John of the Cross
Stick with it, don’t worry about your feelings or the apparent dryness…Jesus is there and he is simply delighted that you are spending this time with him.
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
