As I received Holy Communion at Mass this morning, I encountered two great miracles simultaneously. They are Christ the Lord himself and the transformation of the bread and wine into his body and blood in the Holy Eucharist.

**Shifting Our Focus
When we face a problem, it usually gets all our attention and we easily feel the stress and lose peace in trying to solve or resolve it. Here's the superior way. Rely totally on Christ and when a problem comes up, focus on the Lord instead, trusting in his guidance and giving you the strength to deal with the problem. This way you don't ever get stressed out as you essentially let the Lord solve the problem for you.
*****Just Me and Christ*****
Without Christ, we are essentially alone. You may know a lot of people, but whom can you depend on? They will all die one day like you. I know Christ, so definitely I am not alone. I have all I need, for I can depend on him completely as my creator, my Savior, my Lord, and my God! Me and Christ, always belonging to each other!!!

**Taking God's Blessings Seriously
When Fr. Stephen ended the Mass this morning asking almighty God to bless us, it struck me that we should not take God's blessings lightly. For when God blesses us, great good things are bound to happen. This is having faith, and it's thru this faith that we get to see God's wonders.
***Bedazzled by Christ
Communion experience. Bedazzled by the beauty and majesty of the Lord, everything else faded away. He alone shines in this universe and the core of my being.
*Way of Finding Rest in God
Today is July 4th, Independence Day. It's a happy day for me, since it's the day I started attending daily Mass again at Mount St. Joseph Chapel nearby after I recovered from COVID-19. During Mass, the Lord made me see that to find rest in him, I only need to offer up all of myself—my mind, my heart, and my soul—to him. And I gladly did that.
**Believing in Your Own Faith
In today's Gospel from Matthew 9, a woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind Jesus as he was walking and touched the tassel on his cloak. She said to herself, "If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured." Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, "Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you." From that hour the woman was cured. Lesson learned: When you have strong faith in God, you believe in your own faith too. This allows miracles to happen.
***Attaining Union with God***
(1) You open completely up to God, allowing him to enter your innermost with no hindrance whatsoever. (2) He shapes and molds you so that all his ways and his thoughts become your ways and your thoughts. For this part, no effort is required from you as all the work is done by the Lord.

*Great Joy
Communion experience. I knew that the one I was going to receive is the one I was going to follow forever. Great joy flooded my soul.
***How God Deems Us
John the Baptist didn't even consider himself to be worthy of untying Jesus' sandal strap. Yet this Lord wishes us to eat his body and drink his blood in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist in memory of him! How he deems us is pretty incredible! We should really rejoice and love him with all our heart!
