While we all seek physical comfort, pursuing spiritual consolation offers far greater, higher-level rewards.

**Great Feeling**
Communion experience. I know that the Lord loves me and has chosen me. It's impossible not to rejoice in him!
*****Greatest Division (a WARNING)*****
A great division exists between those who are with Christ and those who are not. After death, this becomes an unbridgeable chasm, as far apart as heaven and hell. If you remain united with Christ now, you will have nothing to worry about!
**What Judging Is**
Telling others they are offending the Lord and in the wrong is not judging, as it is done out of pure love. Judging is criticizing others without pity. Jesus points out our faults so that we may be saved; he feels sorrow for us, but never condemns us as long as there is still a chance for us to turn around.
***True Flesh, True Blood***
In today's Gospel reading from John 6, Jesus said to the Jews, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my Flesh is true food, and my Blood is true drink. Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood remains in me and I in him. . . . This is the bread that came down from heaven." After hearing this, it is impossible to believe that the Lord meant his words symbolically.
**"Here I Am"**
In Scripture, we often come across this response when someone realizes the Lord is calling them. This shows you are ready to follow whatever he asks you to do. It is a response that pleases him greatly—and should please you, too. To be called by the Lord is a great honor, for he calls only those he wishes to exalt.
**Beginning Anew**
Before Mass began this morning, I emptied myself entirely, allowing the Holy Spirit to fill me and make me anew. This clean sweep solidifies my union with the Beloved Lord.

***What We Must Secure First***
Earlier today, I met someone I felt sorry for; there are people like that all around us. She seems very nice and friendly, but she isn't trying to live a holy life and shows no interest in anything beyond this world. I feel for her because she hasn't secured her soul yet. In life, we might miss out on many earthly comforts, but I am talking about missing the opportunity to be free and happy for all eternity! For now, I can only pray for such souls and share the gospel with them when I have the chance.
***Mary's Prophecy***
This message has been around and good for all Catholics to know: https://youtube.com/shorts/j8nuJbIW0nw?si=yzdeR25zCIGOy2qZ
***Reason for My Joy***
Communion experience. I am still on earth bodily, but my soul is already resting securely in Jesus' holy hands! That explains my constant joy in hm.
***WISE ADVICE***
In heaven, time stands still, and you remain holy, happy, and unchanged forever. On earth, time passes irreversibly. Therefore, it's wise to latch onto Christ before your time runs out.
***Do You Know That . . .
when you are aware of the holy presence of the Lord God, your ego vanishes?
***Do You Realize?***
Christ took on the greatest sorrow so that we may experience the greatest joy. He died for us so that we may live forever!

***Our Biggest Enemy***
It's not Satan. It's our ego, our pride! Pride keeps us from obeying God. Since the Lord is ever present, ego has no place to exist in us. Unfortunately, it surfaces all the time in us, even when we are supposed to be serving the Lord. We all feel good when people say nice things about us. The ego absolutely doesn't need to be fed; praise is for God alone. Pride also causes the loss of our reverence for the Lord. At Mass, we should focus upon the Lord solely, yet we often hear thing said for the amusement of the congregation—that's the ego acting. Right after Mass ends, the church instantly sounds noisier than a cafe with people talking and chattering—that's the doing of a lot of egos. I know many others don't feel it this way; then to each his own. I do know that if everyone were a lot more humble, the world will be a lot happier place.
***God's Life-Changing Joy***
Today's Entrance Antiphon based on Psalm: 71: 8 and 23, reads: "Let my mouth be filled with your praise, that I may sing aloud; my lips shall shout for joy when I sing to you, alleluia." And the Response from Psalm reads: "Let all the earth cry out to God with joy." The Lord God is all about joy—he has solved my problems and fills me to the brim! The happiness the world offers is generated externally, channeled through your physical senses, and is temporary. By contrast, the joy of the Lord comes from heaven, landing directly in your heart. It then bubbles forth like a spring, keeping you refreshed and exhilarated forever.

**Most Precious Lord**
Communion experience. The Lord is as precious to me as my own soul, if not more so. I owe my whole existence, now and forever, to him!
