Christ is the missing piece

by

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends in Christ,

     “My heart is restless, it can only rest in you, my God.”  (St. Augustine)

      There is only one piece that fits in this puzzle and nothing of this world can be a substitute…it simply does not fit.  So many restless hearts, so many anxious hearts, so many broken hearts,…because Christ is not in the mix.  Christ needs to be a major part of your life and your daily grind; without him you will never discover true peace and happiness.  Rip off the doors of your heart and allow Christ to lodge in that missing hole!

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Honesty

by

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends in Christ,

     “When Jesus saw Nathanael coming he said of him, ‘There, truly, is an Israelite in whom there is no deception.'”  Jn 1: 47

     Several years ago, I asked a few classrooms of Catholic School kids why they did not always tell the truth to the their parents.  The overwhelming response was, “Because we do not want to deal our parents reaction.  They get really mad when they find out the bad things we did, even if we do tell the truth.”  Before asking a tough question, both my mom and dad would say, “Now Michael, look me in the eyes and tell me the truth.  My biggest concern is that you tell me the truth.”  My mom and dad knew that I was not perfect, and I was disciplined accordingly, but I learned the value of being upfront and honest regardless of the cost.

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Snow!

by

Slowly, silently, suddenly…SNOW!

Coldly carpeting, culminating…

Slowly shoveling, slipping…solo?

Calmly creating…captivating!

Skiing, snowboarding, sledding, skating…

Celestial cloudage conveying…

Sculptured snowflakes subtly saying…

Christ carefully communicating…

Surreptitiously stating…God loves you!

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
