Unfurl the sails
Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends in Christ,
“Unfurl the sails, and let God steer us where He will.” – St. Bede
My older brother, Jim, invited me once on his catamaran sailboat when I was in 8th grade. I was a little intimidated and afraid, but he assured me that he had everything under control and that it would be amazing…and after a few minutes of cruising along, we caught a big gust of wind, and we were airborne like this picture above. This is my life as a priest,…I unfurl the sails each morning, knowing Christ is at the helm, and the adventure begins!

Worry about yourself
Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends in Christ,
“It is a lesson we all need – to let alone the things that do not concern us. He has other ways for others to follow Him; all do not go by the same path. It is for each of us to learn the path by which He requires us to follow Him, and to follow Him in that path.” St. Katharine Drexel
How much time and energy do we waste analyzing or speculating about our neighbor’s or friend’s conduct? Most of the time, we do not have sufficient information to make a mature and balanced judgement and even if we did, our focus should be on following the path that God wants us to walk.

Don’t run away!
Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends in Christ,
“Faced with today’s problems and disappointments, many people will try to escape from their responsibility. Escape in selfishness, escape in sexual pleasure, escape in drugs, escape in violence, escape in indifference and cynical attitudes. I propose to you the option of love, which is the opposite of escape.” (Blessed Pope John Paul II)
The solution is not to walk away. The storms will pass and the winds will subside…stick it out with love! Christ is there to accompany you and he is the one asking for a greater love. Look into his eyes and console his heart with your generosity!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
