***Are You with the Lord?

        Words we need to hear. 

***How to Be Able to Love God?***

         Simple and true:—You just let him love you! Let God love you as much as possible and you'll able to love him as much as possible.

***Greatest Consolation

        Communion experience. Receiving the Lord in the Eucharist has to be the greatest consolation of my life, for it can overcome all my sorrows. 

*God Makes Us Worry-Free

        It's good to realize that there is nothing God cannot handle and he loves us and is always with us. This should be good enough to make us worry-free.  

**Our Christian Duty

        In today's Gospel reading from Mark 5, Jesus healed a demoniac and said to him, "Go home to your family and announce to them all that the Lord in his pity has done for you." It is our duty that we announce to all what the Lord has done for us. Then you say that he wasn't even around when all those things happened. Does this mean that if we don't see him, then it has nothing to do with him? Of course not. God is in control and nothing can happen without his allowance. If you don't believe, you have no faith.

***Obedience to God Begets Peace

        Freedom lies in doing God's will. Solid proof: When we disobey the Lord, we lose our peace. 

*Joining the Heavenly Family

        Jesus is God the Father's only begotten Son and our only Lord. When we follow him, we become God's adopted sons and daughters. 

**Taming of the Self

         A sinner unchecked is like a wild animal; he is self-centered and does what he wants to do for himself. Once you attain union with the Lord, he has tamed you, you might say. Now you listen to him and want to do his will only. Filled with the Holy Spirit, you willingly and joyfully want to please him alone. You now possess a super sharp conscience; you see all your imperfections and want to eradicate them all. No oppression is felt at any point. In fact, you feel completely liberated and renewed.  

**Mind Your Own Business

         This means that you become holy; love and serve God with all your heart, soul, and mind; and are to answer to him alone. Then you'll automatically know how to love others.

***Only One Thing We Need to Know*

        There are so many things we shall never understand in this life. That's OK, as long as we know and believe that Christ is our Lord and Savior.
