***Secret to Inner Peace*

        I feel peace in my heart because I no longer fight myself! When you submit yourself totally to God's will, the "civil war" within you ceases altogether, leading to inner peace.

**Most Appropriate Petition*

        Asking for God's Mercy on us.         

***Realization Leading to Happiness*

        Once we realize that we have a perfect God, we begin trusting in him totally and can finally become truly happy.       

****Beautiful Perfection

        Communion time thoughts. There is something "perfect" here that's beautiful. We have the Lord God, our most loving Father, who has sacrificed his only begotten Son to save us from sin, and we realize this and submit ourselves to the him and receive the body and blood of his Son in the Holy Eucharist to attain union with him now and enjoy eternal life later with him in heaven forever. This is just perfect for both the Lord and us!

***The LORD with Me***

        People often don't understand me and that's understandable. But the Lord understands me before I understand myself! This is great, knowing that he is always ahead watching over, guarding, and guiding me! It is so good to have him be with me! 

**Proud and Humbled*

        Communion experience today. I receive the Lord and he is all mine. I feel proud and happy, yet at the same time most humbled that the Lord would stoop this low to enter a lowly sinner like me.

**Right Thing to Do

        I don't mind I don't know a lot of things. It's good enough to know that going deeper into the Lord is always the right thing to do.

***New Freedom

        When I realize that everything of mine belongs to my God and he will always provide me with what I need, I experience a new freedom. Worry and Anxiety the Lord does not teaches.

**Source of Eternal Life

        During morning Mass, I had a moment suddenly seeing clearly that Christ is the one who grants eternal life to us!

***Love over Sacrifice

        Mark 12:33, today's Communion antiphon: To love God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself is worth more than any sacrifice. To those who find it hard to fast and make sacrifices during the Lent, you can make it up by increasing your love for God and others. In fact, as your love grows, making sacrifices becomes natural and easy. Let love be your main objective to motivate all your other actions.
