God's Protection

        In prayer this morning at Mass, the Lord showed me that he would always protect those who love him spiritually, but not necessarily their possessions. This is good enough for me.

Tragedy of the World

        Our downfall is that we like to be in control of everything ~ the ego again. We even handle sin by ourselves, though sin is completely under God's jurisdiction. 

Created by God

        It just hit me that even if scientists can make something exactly like a human being, they still won't be able to give it a conscience. It just shows that God did create us.

Only Obstacle to Freedom

        At Mass this morning, in an instant it was clear to me that what drags us down are ourselves ~ it's our ego that keeps us from soaring to God. If we are no longer self-concerned, we'll be carefree and free in the Lord. [Union with God makes you forget yourself and focus upon God only.]

God Has Created Us!

        God is love and his act of dying for our sins to redeem us is just incredible. It seems rather mysterious that I should feel it this way. Then intuitively I know that had there been no God and I somehow came into existence, I never would've been able to relate to such love. I know now that God exists and has made me this way so that I may love him.

How to Feel Good

        When you know that Christ already dwells in you, let him be your only joy. Do not care about how good you look; care only about how good he looks in you to others. When he looks good, he will give you joy to make you feel good.  

Concerning God Again

        God is for going deep into, so dive into him with your all.

God Wins

        Communion feeling this morning. God has won me over. Before, I was stubborn, but now I'm in paradise.

Concerning God

        The right way: letting go in him. The wrong way: struggling before him.

Death Has Lost

        Yearning for the Lord works wonders ~ it banishes any fear of death. Basically, death has lost all its power over the Christian.
