Envy

by

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends in Christ,

     “As a moth gnaws a garment, so doth envy consume a [person].”  St. John Chrysostom

     Don’t waste time and energy being envious of things that in the big picture really do not matter: good looks, material possessions, attractive personalities, etc… Rather, focus on the higher gifts, the deep virtues of others, and try to learn from them and imitate them, instead of trying to bring that person down!

Take care of your bodies

by

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

“There is a limit to what a man can do. Nobody should overwork himself lest he be prematurely worn out and become useless and be done for, just when he ought to be at the peak of his powers.” St. John Bosco

     I try to go for a run everyday, and soon I will be on my “marathon training plan”.  It clears my head, makes me feel better and helps me to last longer and be more efficient.   It’s not always fun or enjoyable but I never regret having done it…and hopefully, it will help me to last a little longer for all of you!  Take care of both your body and your soul!

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Is Christ your “best” friend?

by

Why should Christ be your “best” friend?

He accepts you, comprehends…

If you reach up, he descends,

Unties knots, fixes loose ends,

So caring…hard to offend,

It’s easy to make amends.

Hurting inside? He attends…

From Satan’s snares, he’ll defend,

Gift of peace…huge dividend!

In Jesus you can depend,

Fidelity…to the end!!

Letting anger cool off

by

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

“The surest safeguard against anger is to let it cool off.” St. John Bosco

       Sometimes, you just need to sleep on it, to pray on it, to wait on it…don’t let the devil get the best of you!
