In today's Gospel reading from Mark 11, Jesus said to the Twelve, “Have faith in God. Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him. Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours." So we should always pray with bold faith. It's better not to pray than praying without much faith.

**Lovely Act
When we submit ourselves to the Lord God, we really surrender ourselves to his love for us. And this is a most lovely act.
***Stark Contrast
Jesus showed his greatest love by laying down his life for us, while today so many crooked politicians demonstrate the greatest lack of love by caring only about staying in power and not about the well-being of the people they are supposed to represent. These are genuine hypocrites.
**Cool Realization
Today Friday I again prayed the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. When I was deeply moved by how Christ suffered for our sake, I realized that I was indeed made in the image of God, and I rejoiced in that.

***Difference Between God and Us*
We can have good intentions in performing something and end up with a bad performance. Now, people will always remember our bad performance, but God will remember only our good intentions.
**Thanking God Again
The Lord knows everything about me and I am grateful that he has helped me see myself clearly with no pride standing in the way.
***Rejoicing Again
It's so good that I have Christ to trust in, as I realize that he has already secured my eternal life!
**Union with God Is Spiritual*
Communion experience. Here I was, a finite vessel, to receive the infinite Lord! How could I possibly contain him? I now realize that I was thinking wrongly in terms of physical containment. Spiritually, a complete union with the Lord is no problem. An exhilarating realization!
**Awaiting My Judgment
I know that Christ loves me, knows and understands me perfectly, and is always just and fair. So I am ready for him to judge me and accept whatever he decides to grant me. After that, I'll be in person with him forever!
**Even Exchange
That Christ has died for me, I will always remember. If we are willing to die for him for loving him, he will likewise never forget us.
