“It’s much better to do good in a way that nobody knows anything about it.” Leo Tolstoy
Sometimes the simple gift of “presence” when you don’t feel like it can go a long way!

Rejoice in other’s victories!
Forgiveness
TKC!
“If you are suffering from a bad man’s injustice, forgive him, lest there be two bad men.” — St. Augustine
You can get upset, you can let it ruin your day or even your week, you can plot out revenge, you can spread bad rumors about the person who hurt you…or like, Christ, you can say, “Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do”, pray for them and ask God to help you forgive them from the heart. This is the pathway to peace and holiness…
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
Work more on the “heart”

Charity in our thoughts
Praying with the right attitude
TKC!
“Whether, therefore, we receive what we ask for, or do not receive it, let us still continue steadfast in prayer. For to fail in obtaining the desires of our heart, when God so wills it, is not worse than to receive it; for we know not as He does, what is profitable to us.” St. John Chrysostom
God ALWAYS listens to our prayers. If he does not grant our request, it is usually because he sees this might not be the best for our soul or he has something better in mind…
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
