Listening to God

by

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “It is best to learn to silence the faculties and to cause them to be still so that God may speak.” St. John of the Cross

    If you are going to have conversation with Christ in prayer, leave your phone, ipad and technology off and put away…and listen to the one who made and who loves you so much!

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

What are feeding your thoughts?

by

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “Occupy your minds with good thoughts or the enemy will occupy them with bad ones.  Unoccupied, they cannot be.” St. Thomas More

    What are feeding your thoughts?  Prayer, good books, inspiring conversations,…?

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Drinking problems

by

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “Men do not differ much about what things they will call evils; they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable.” G.K. Chesterton

    I have no problem with someone having an occasional mixed drink or a glass of wine at a meal.  But when it becomes a daily “need” and suddenly it becomes close to a bottle of wine, there is clearly a problem.  Too many marriages (and children) have been brutally hurt because of drinking problems, and I would hope that if you have a good friend going down that path, you would not hesitate to have a heart to heart on this topic.

God bless,

Prayer is an act of love

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “Prayer is an act of love; words are not needed. Even if sickness distracts from thoughts, all that is needed is the will to love.” St. Teresa of Avila

     This chapel at St. Patrick’s Cathedral is one of my favorite places to “hang out” with Jesus.  Few words if any are needed, just “being with” the one I love and whom I know loves me!

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
