**Most Perfect Gift
June 3. It was the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. The Gospel reading from Mark 14 tells how Jesus instructed his disciples to prepare for him to eat the Passover. It shows how the Lord could arrange things to happen as he had wished. At the Last Supper, he gave us the most perfect gift, his own Body and Blood, which can make us perfect. When I received Holy Communion, it was the most beautiful feeling to know that by giving in to his love, I become one with him.
Feeling How God Feels
June 2. Attended Vigil Mass at a beautiful church, Saints Peter and Paul. The Lord made me feel his great love for the poor. Of course, he loves every single one of us the same, but you feel his love more when you think about the poor, much like light becoming more prominent against darkness. Feeling how the Lord feels is a great joy!
The Soul Needs Rest
June 2. Yesterday I ate lunch at a food court packed with crowds and you could hear the noisy talking filling the whole place to the hilt. I knew all that would pass. Today I was resting in the pew of a magnificent basilica, experiencing quiet and peace. This would pass too, but the soul got refreshed.
Worst Condition of the Soul
May 31. I felt the intimacy of the Lord as if he's been etched in my very soul. And I had the image of the worst condition of the soul – a soul with sins tattooed all over it.
*Happy Ending Most Important
May 31. If you have some solitude and time, it can be spiritual beneficial to review your own life as a movie. Acting as the film critic and judge, what do you think of your life? This would be a good time to correct your course if necessary to make sure that your story will end happily!
Sad State Without God
May 30. As I was traveling, I saw these quotations at one hostel: (1) Keep your seeker spirit alive. (2) Bring your curious self here. (3) Seek the weird, the cool, and the random. (4) Lose yourself, then find your way. And at one public library, a quote from the famous poet, T. S. Eliot: The very existence of libraries affords the best evidence that we may yet have hope for the future of man. If these are the best quotes we can come up without involving God, then we are in a pretty sad state.
Blessed Are the Weak
May 27. Know your weaknesses and thank God for them, for now you must depend upon him more (preferably entirely).
What Matters & What Doesn't
This message came to me on the 26th of last month. What matters is what God thinks of you, which depends upon how you respond to his will. What does not matter is what others think of you.
Loving God Alone
This message came to me on the 24th of last month. Whatever you do to anyone affects God. Therefore, make sure that you do not offend God in whatever you do to others. Then if you love the Lord, you'll love others too. Therefore, love God alone.
