**Reveling in God's Love**

        Communion experience: I entered the infinite sphere of God's love and deeply reveled in it.

**Following God Is Personal Business*

        The Lord's Prayer was given to each of us by Christ. So, when we come to the part, "Thy will be done," it really means "Thy will be done through us." The point is that only God can change each of us. Therefore, obeying the Lord both begins and ends with us.

***Within Our Reach!**

        Do you realize that the Lord God has given his all for our sake, and if we do the same for him, we will attain perfect union with him, along with and peace and joy, now and forever?

***The Lord Awaits***

        Jesus died for us to save us from the death caused by sin. Now, how will we respond to him?

***To Cease Sinning***

        Since we have inherited original sin, we tend to sin. But if you attain union with God through receiving the Savior in the Holy Eucharist regularly and develop a sharp conscience, you lose your tendency to sin—the Lord is that powerful! Now you enjoy his peace unceasingly.

***Most Satisfying Experience***

        Communion experience. I have returned to the one who created me out of love and found eternal peace. There is nothing else that can satisfy me more!

***Be Wise and Live***

        Many of us avoid facing Jesus, busily occupy ourselves with worldly tasks instead. Essentially, this is a form of escapism that fails to solve the root problem. Sooner or later, everyone must face the Lord’s judgment. The wise, however, choose to look to God first.

*****Awesome Lord*****

         In today's Gospel reading from John 6, the disciples were rowing their boat across the sea to Capernaum. It had already grown dark, and the sea was stirred up by a strong wind. Then, they saw Jesus walking on water toward them. It shows that Jesus, the creator of all life, is also the Lord of all physical laws. Whether the object he deals with is animate or not is irrelevant—anything he wills gets realized!

**Tle Lord's Wish*

        Today's Entrance Antiphon, based on 1 Peter 2:9, reads: "O chosen people, proclaim the mighty works of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light, alleluia." The Communion Antiphon, based on John 17:24, reads: "Father, I wish that, where I am, those you gave me may also be with me, that they may see the glory which you gave me, alleluia." So the Lord calls us out of darkness into his wonderful light and wishes that we remain with him!

**Christian Joy, Now and Forever**

        A Christian who follows the Lord rejoices in him at all times, having already been promised eternal life. Though this life may be difficult, it pales in comparison to the big picture; eternal joy simply outweighs everything else.

**Perfect Day**

        Communion experience. Every day I attend Mass and receive the Lord in the Holy Eucharist is a perfect day for me.

**The Lord Always Provides*

        In today's Gospel reading from John 6, giving, Jesus multiplied five barley loaves and two fish to feed a crowd of thousands, giving them as much as they wanted. I believe that the Lord will always provide those who follow him with whatever they need to draw them closer to him.

**God's Transformative Power**

        Verse 41 of today's First Reading from Acts 5 tells us that the Apostles rejoiced that they had been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name of Jesus. I don't think we can ever feel this way for the sake of anyone else. It just shows how the Lord is capable of transforming us by making us completely selfless.

**A Christian's Reward*

         Communion experience. I felt absolute security in my Lord.

***Know This Rule!***

        In today's Gospel reading from John 3, the Apostle clearly lays out what we must do to have eternal life: "The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to him. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, instead, the wrath of God remains upon him."

**God's Power*

        In today's Reading 1 from Acts 5, Peter and the other Apostles fearlessly preached in the name of Jesus, even when the Sanhedrin forbade them. It is easy to follow someone in the world who is outwardly strong and powerful, yet many of us would happily live and die for Jesus, who is the most humble and meek person you can find. This is truly amazing, proving that he is indeed our Lord and our God. 

**Our Most Foolish Choice**

        The Lord God wants to take complete care of us, especially our souls. But if we reject him and choose not to place ourselves in his hands, we cause him the greatest possible sorrow for being so heartless and foolish. And this will come back to haunt us for all eternity!

**That Great Clean Feeling**

        Being clean all over is a great feeling, but when the Lord makes your heart and soul spotless, making you fit for heaven, that is absolutely the best 'clean feeling' this side of heaven. And that is only possible through Christ.
