Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“Faced with today’s problems and disappointments, many people will try to escape from their responsibility. Escape in selfishness, escape in sexual pleasure, escape in drugs, escape in violence, escape in indifference and cynical attitudes. I propose to you the option of love, which is the opposite of escape.” St. John Paul II

If love for Christ is the main motivation behind absolutely everything you do, you will never get tired of being selfless.
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“The question confronting the Church today is not any longer whether the man in the street can grasp a religious message, but how to employ the communications media so as to let him have the full impact of the Gospel message.” St. John Paul II

Social media can be a very valuable tool in the evangelization of modern man. Although this does not take away from the importance of real “face time” and personal contact, it can be a very effective resource to support this effort. (I am always open to suggestions on how I can do this better!)
God bless,

Dear Friends, in Christ,
“We must lay before him what is in us; not what ought to be in us.” CS Lewis

To all the moms and dads out there, don’t you love your kids in an unconditional way, in spite of their warts and bruises, sins and imperfections? Try to remember that God is truly OUR FATHER and he will always see you as his beloved child!
God bless,

Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“We are all in the same boat in a stormy sea, and we owe each other a terrible loyalty.” G.K. Chesterton

God has placed each one of you in a particular fishbowl. At times, you may feel a desire to jump out, to look for another bowl…but in those moments, look into the eyes of Christ and ask him, “Lord, I know these are the souls that you want to love through me. Please help me to embrace all of them with a sincere love.”
God bless,

Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends, in Christ,
“To be conscious of one’s weakness and to trust in God’s help is the way to authentic strength and victory.” Alice Von Hildebrand

In the obstacle course of life, you need to be humble enough to accept that you cannot scale every wall by yourself. Lean into Christ, seek out a solid spiritual director, surround yourself with Christ-centered friends…and you will find that there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome!
God bless,
