Annoying Evil

        Since one is always safe with God, the assaults coming from the evil one are like flies ~ annoying, but incapable of hurting us.

Overwhelming Beauty

        In prayer after morning Mass, I desired to remain in the Lord forever as I sensed his great heavenly beauty! 

Thanks to Our Enemies

        What good is it to have enemies? For one thing, they drive us closer to God. 

Forever One

        Communion experience. Love penetrated my heart and permeated my soul ~ how could I ever let my Lord go?

Power of Prayer

        Go deep into God and he makes you perfect.

Wise Living

        Do everything right yourself before correcting others' wrongs.

Beautiful Journey

        This is following Christ, always moving forward and never looking back.        

The Gift of Suffering

        When you undergo suffering and truly realize how much Christ has suffered for your sake, you are drawn into deep union with him. In such a state, you become totally dependent upon him and acutely aware of good and evil. In the depth of God, all impurities are cleansed from your soul. Since these effects are permanent, accepting sufferings for the sake of Christ can definitely lead one to holiness.    

Uncertainties Are Blessings

        Uncertainty about what is going to happen to us always makes us feel uneasy. If you know that some evil might materialize to crush you, you begin to experience what the Lord must have felt when he went through the agony in the garden. This would be the perfect time to get on your knees and abandon yourself entirely to God until you feel the deep union between you and him. So uncertainties are blessings. And, you know what, God always shields and delivers you from evil and restores your peace at the end. 

Dying Honorably for God

        On January 8, I posted How We Die Matters on the recent mass killing at Charlie Hebdo in Paris. I mentioned that I wouldn't feel comfortable telling the Lord that I got killed for making fun of others. Today I thought I would feel the same if I died of a heart attack because someone made me angry or deliberately hurt me emotionally. Therefore, I would remain forgiving by placing my entire trust in the Lord. Dying as the result of my own sin is not dying for God.
