What I Need

        Communion experience. Jesus alone is enough for me.

Responding to God

        Learning about God through others' writings, speeches, and experiences can be inspirational, but God is so magnificent, beautiful, great, magnanimous, and glorious that you need to "tackle" him yourself directly in order to taste him. Seeking union with him is the ideal way ~ we need to give our all in order to receive him in full. This is responding to his calling and his infinite love.

Correct All Wrongs

        There is only one life for us to live on earth. If you have not loved enough, forgiven, or tried to understand others, get all your wrongs corrected before leaving this world so that you may face the Lord without trepidation. Better yet, seek union with God now so that you will know only how to love. All sins are deadweights that keep us earthbound. Drop them so that you may soar heavenward.

Living Unplanned

        Life rarely works out exactly as planned. I had never thought that one day I would end up where I am living now. If six years ago someone had told me that I would be writing a spiritual blog, I wouldn't have any idea what that person was talking about. This morning I ended up having to wait a long time to get my car tested for smog and the car did not even pass, all unexpectedly, upsetting the schedule I had mentally planned. Therefore, the sensible way to live is to trust in God every moment, come what may.  

God-Centered Living Is...

doing everything for the glory of God. "Everything" includes not only praying for others, serving others, and other good works, but also thinking, speaking, washing dishes, performing house chores, and everything else. Honoring God, the Alpha and the Omega, becomes our sole motivation. This is transcendental living!   

Daily Cycle

        All day long I know that God loves me. Even if you don't feel it, just read the Gospels and you'll know undeniably that Jesus died in our place so that we might enjoy eternal life. Then the morning comes around and I receive the Lord in the Holy Eucharist at Mass and am completely reconciled to him again. There is nothing more I shall lack.

Complete Fulfillment

        Today's Communion experience. How good it is to receive the Lord who has given me the gift of faith, wiping out all uncertainties! And how good it feels to know that I am loved by him!

Perfect Contentment

        Communion experience. Having received Christ, my soul was ready to leave the world to go to him.

Foremost Life Aim

        Union with God is meaningful for us because God has the power to heal and draw our soul. On earth, such union between two imperfect humans is just not possible. It is through union with God that we have communion of the saints and become all sons and daughters of God the Father. Therefore, seeking union with God should be our foremost aim in life.

Criteria for Choice

        Do not look for a religion that merely makes you feel comfortable. Rather, seek the true God of Christ through his Church, who can transform you to fall in love with him.
