Christmas poem

by

Forgotten, forsaken…frozen,

Cherished, cuddled, caressed…chosen.

Jarringly jettisoned…jungle!

Heavenly hiatus…humble!

Why did Jesus leave paradise?

Love…love for YOU, to be precise!

Don’t give up on praying

by

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “Prayer gives us strength for great ideals, for keeping up our faith, charity, purity, generosity; prayer gives us strength to rise up from indifference and guilt, if we have had the misfortune to give in to temptation and weakness. Prayer gives us light by which to see and to judge from God’s perspective and from eternity. That is why you must not give up on praying!” (Pope John Paul II)

    St. John Paul II spent so much time kneeling in prayer before Christ in the Blessed Sacrament…this was where he found his wisdom and his strength.  Make time for prayer!

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

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

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
