“If He asks much of you, it is because He knows you can give much.” St. John Paul II
Sometimes it may seem that God is asking too much, (and sometimes you might be doing more than God wants you to do), but if the ordinary circumstances of life do get a little challenging, never doubt that God gave his official approval, and his grace will be enough to get you through whatever challenges lie ahead.

Holiness in the little things
TKC!
“Like happiness, holiness is always tied to little gestures.” These little gestures are those we learn at home, in the family; they get lost amid all the other things we do, yet they do make each day different. They are the quiet things done by mothers and grandmothers, by fathers and grandfathers, by children, by siblings. They are little signs of tenderness, affection and compassion. Like the warm supper we look forward to at night, the early lunch awaiting someone who gets up early to go to work. Homely gestures. Like a blessing before we go to bed, or a hug after we return from a hard day’s work. “ Pope Francis

“Learn to do thy part and leave the rest to Heaven.” Blessed Cardinal Newman
Don’t worry about the “Goliath’s” in your life…worry about what God wants you to do in each moment, and let him worry about the results!

Little things done with great love
Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends in Christ,
“The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.” St. Thomas More
St. Therese of Lisieux is the patron saint of the missions even though she never left the convent. She would offer up little sacrifices for souls and one of her daily chores was to wash the pots and pans with a “difficult” sister. She said that she could “see Jesus walking amidst the pots and pans.” The little things done with love matter!!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
