Climb on!…through fog and rain,
Climb on!…with aches and pain,
Climb on!…let me explain:
Christ is there, you won’t drop!
Leading you, to the top.
Don’t do a belly flop!
Trust…love…pray…and don’t stop!
Love should be costly
TKC!
“I distrust a charity that costs nothing and does not hurt.” Pope Francis (his own example of the washing of the feet on Holy Thursday)

Human respect
Patience is power
TKC!
“Patience is power. Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is “timing”, it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles, in the right way.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
Patient endurance is such a key virtue, and life gives us such a plethora of opportunities to practice it! Sometimes just waiting out a tough situation with kindness can be heroic!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
A grateful heart
Sinking or floating
TKC!
“Far better it is for you to say: “I am a sinner,” than to say: “I have no need of religion.” The empty can be filled, but the self-intoxicated have no room for God.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
Sinking without God or peacefully floating with Him…it’s your choice. Is prayer on your daily schedule?
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
What did you do today?
The marathon of life
TKC!
“Dream that the more you struggle, the more you prove the love that you bear your God, and the more you will rejoice one day with your Beloved, in a happiness and rapture that can never end.” St. Teresa of Jesus
In the very real and very personal “marathon” of our lives, there are no short-cuts to heaven. As long as you keep your eyes on Jesus and focus on loving him more and more each day, you will see him at the finish line with a big smile and open arms, waiting to receive you into his eternal embrace.
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
