***Only One Thing Critical

        Last thought after morning Mass ended. There are really thousands or more things going on around me in my life in this world at any moment, but nothing can be considered critical to us except for one thing, and that is, not bering aware that Jesus Christ is our Lord, our God, and our only Savior.

**Yet Another Joy

         That we can become like God when we submit ourselves to him and let him transform us.

*Instant Communication

        Another joy came to me again. It's realizing that I can connect with my Lord and God instantly from my heart. It's faster than the speed of light.

**How God Serves Us

        When I say that the Lord God serves me, I mean that that he guides me, motivates me, strengthens me, and makes whatever he want me to do easy. I could say that he really does everything for me. Without him, I'd be laboring in vain.

***Happy Tears to Shed***

        If you realize that you are a sinner and have offended God, and you break down and cried, those would have to be your most blessed tears. How I wish we'd all experience that. Crying from the heart is what we need to realize our miserable states and God's great mercy. To be humble enough to repent of your wrongdoings is one of the most exhilarating and liberating feelings you can possibly have, as that makes the whole heaven rejoice! Yes, all those in heaven root for you! It is certain that whatever joy you give to God will always come right back to you.

***An Unbelievably Beautiful Thing*

        After my last post, I realize that when God has given all of himself to us and we now give all of ourselves to him, it is a most beautiful thing! We and God are now united as one! No more rebellion from us, no more sinning; only perfect harmony and peace exist between God and us. We are now heaven bound, on my last leg of return to our Father and creator. Bon voyage to all who are traveling on such a unique journey!

**Proper & Profitable Giving of Ourselves

        Today is the Memorial of the The Presentation of the Virgin Mary. Here's the Gospel reading from Luke 21: Jesus saw some wealthy people putting their offerings into the treasury and he noticed a poor widow putting in two mall coins. He said, "I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood." We should give all of ourselves to God because he has already given all of himself to us. By so doing, we show our love for the Lord and will be rewarded with eternal life.

**God Beyond Comprehension (for Now)

        My first feeling this morning before Mass began: We cannot possibly comprehend how great, how beautiful, how magnificent God is until the day we see him face to face. And this is the day we should all look forward to.

***No Ego → True Freedom***

        Sometimes I say something that seems to be innocent or even amusing, then I realized that I was basically being unkind, and I regretted it. Because of the presence of our ego, it is difficult to suppress our proud feelings. Even if we do receive many favors and joys from God, a truly humble person would not reveal it to anyone. To live secretly in the Lord alone, not for the world to know, is the way to go. This is the beginning of true freedom.

****Becoming Immortal!*

        Communion experience. At this heavenly banquet, I receive the food of immortality! I rejoice that the Lord has included me in his banquet guest list.
