These are the moments you approach the Lord with a pure and humble heart and share all your thoughts with him and receive all the thoughts he wishes to impart to you. What a delight!

**A Wake-Up Call**
In life we do many things . . . we meet people, we make friends, we work and play, we exercise and take vacations . . . But if we do nothing specifically to show or mean that we love God, then we have wasted our time. And the time we have is limited and fleeting!

*****When God Lets You Know (the Lord an Absolute Delight)*****
When God lets you know that he is real, you know that he is real. When God lets you know that he loves you, you know that you loves you. When God lets you see the way to get to heaven, you know the way to get to heaven. Of course, to make all this true, we must be open to God first! When I let the Lord in, he helps me accomplish whatever he wishes for me. As I come to know him dearly, I also come to know myself thoroughly. The way to holiness is now clear and made effortless. All this is most rewarding. The LORD is an absolute delight!
**Do Not Judge & the Golden Rule**
In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 7, Jesus said to his disciples: "Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you." What is judging? Today, if people don't like to hear what you say about them, you are likely to be accused of judging them. Criticizing or correcting a person out of love or for the common good is not judging. Criticizing someone becomes judging only when you do it without love, but with the intention of condemning that person.
We all know the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Having heard what Jesus said above, we can change it to read: "Do unto others as you would have the Lord God do unto you." Attain union with God thru the Holy Eucharist and you'll automatically follow the rule without thinking about it.

***Most Powerful Force***
Do you know that God's love is more powerful than anything else in the whole universe? Of course, to receive this power, you must believe in and obey him in all things. The power of this love has no limits. As far as we are concerned, let it make us fit for entering heaven and that should be plenty good for us.
***A Smart Question to Ask
What if I die right this moment? Asking this question can save your soul for all eternity! It's always wise to plan ahead.
***Good Question to Ask Ourselves
In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 10, Jesus said to the Twelve: "Fear no one. Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known." The Lord knows everything, so what's the point of not willing to let him know anything about us? Could it be that we are afraid of him? This is a question we must ask ourselves if we don't want to look too foolish before the Lord.
**Most Wonderful Love*
God's love is holy, awe-inspiring, glorious, and most powerful in making us whole. At the same time. it's gentle, merciful, sweet, and most consoling to the spirit.

***Abandonment Time
Communion experience. When the most pure love fills you, you are ready to abandon all of yourself to God your Father.
