Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “You doubt your value. Don’t run from who you are.” CS Lewis

    Jesus Christ, God himself, founded our Catholic Church over 2000 years ago.  Christ instituted all 7 Sacraments and left us a deposit of Faith and a hierarchical system that remains intact today.  The holiness of the sacraments (the effectiveness of the grace) does not depend on the holiness of the priests, and in spite of recent scandals and human shortcomings, we have a long history of extremely saintly men and women who have gone before us.  Be proud to be Catholic!

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “Once a man ceases to be of service to his neighbor, he begins to be a burden to him.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

  There is always a risk of getting too self-absorbed…getting so caught up in your own problems and worries, that you forget or simply become insensitive to the real needs of those around you.  Prayer creates an awareness and an availability to get out of your shell and truly want to serve the needs of those around you.

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “God leads every soul by a separate path.” St. John of the Cross

    It’s so easy to judge others negatively, especially when they are doing what we would like to do, but our conscience will not allow it.  Let God worry about them!  You follow what Jesus wants from you!

God bless,

Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Friends, in Christ,

     “I wish not merely to be called Christian, but also to be Christian.” — St. Ignatius of Antioch

    I like to ask my NYC business leaders, “How many people in your office would guess you are Catholic by how you act?  Do they notice that you love “better”?  This should be the “calling card” of every Christian!

God bless,

Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
