**Sign the Holy Spirit Dwells in You

        In today's Gospel reading from John 15, Jesus said to his disciples: "When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me. And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning." If you do have the compelling urge to testify to the Lord and spread the gospel, the Holy Spirit dwells within you! 

***Letting the Lord Raise Us

        Communion experience. Christ came to me to enter me. I must rise above myself, letting him uplift me to his level!

***Jesus' Beautiful Response***

        I feel sorry for anyone who loves to point out the faults of others, but never see their own. I'll always remember in John 8 what Jesus said to the scribes and Pharisees when they brought the woman caught in adultery to him to test him by asking if they should stone her according to the law of Moses. The Lord simply answered "Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." What a wise beautiful response, one we need to remember and apply to ourselves!  

***God's Infinity*****

        Our Lord God is infinite in every way. His love, mercy, and patience are all infinite. To get yourself condemned, you have to be foolish to the extreme. God's wisdom and spiritual riches are also infinite, and they are freely granted to those who love him. Today I am thinking about the consolation the LORD can give us when we are troubled—that can be infinite too. When the Lord consoles me, my soul is healed!

**Spending Our Time on Earth

        Life is short. Only time spent in doing God's will is time well spent. All time spent for our own sake is wasted, for it does not help us get to heaven. Of course, God's mercy is infinite that you can still make heaven if you repent of your sins before you die, but that's not the best way to go. Follow the Lord every moment of your life and you'll have freedom, peace, and joy on earth, and receive greater honor in heaven.

***Encountering God's Love

        Communion experience. I experience the most powerful force in the whole universe, God's LOVE for us. Receiving him is receiving his all-transforming love.

**Telling God Everything*

        In today's Gospel reading from John 15, Jesus said to his disciples, "I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father." The Lords never holds back any truth from us. Do we tell him everything about ourselves? Of course, hiding anything from him is futile, for he knows everything already. To create the best relationship of trust with the Lord, we need to tell him everything about us. This is to show that we are l00% open to him and don't mind him knowing everything about us.

*****Most Merciful and Faithful

        From today's reading from Psalm 57, we heard read "I will give thanks to you among the peoples, O LORD, I will chant your praise among the nations. For your mercy towers to the heavens, and your faithfulness to the skies." Indeed, the Lord is the most merciful and faithful of all the beings. How can we not trust in him with all our soul and with all our heart? And it is so good that we have him to trust in!

**Communion experience

        I feet that receiving the Lord in the Holy Eucharist is my greatest blessing!

**Heaven's Got My Back*

        That God alone backs me is good enough. Then I realize that all the angels and saints in heaven are for me too, and I become extra strong. Romans 8:31, "If God is for us, who can be against us?"
