***Most Comfortable Feeling

        Communion experience. It's such a comfortable feeling not to offer any resistance to the LORD so that he may do whatever he wishes with you. 

**Letting God Take Over*

        At morning Mass today, I wanted to submit myself to the Lord entirely, yet I felt that I couldn't achieve that on my own, being a finite creature. So I just went passive completely and asked the Lord to take over, for he can accomplish anything if you'll let him.

***Joyous Realization***

        All of a sudden I realize that God loves us, for he created us and we are his own children! It's only natural that the Father should love his own children, especially when he is love? Rejoice! 

***Don't Wait too Long!*

        Recently, I heard that quite a few of the older folks I know had started to show signs of Alzheimer's disease. Here are my thoughts. If you do not know Christ yet and think you might want to know him, then don't wait. For once dementia sets in, it'll be too late. My own prayer is that the Lord will keep my mind clear all the days of my life, for I love him and wish to be aware of and enjoy him everyday I am alive.

**Our Response to God's Love

        Since God's love for us is boundless, our appropriate response will have to be loving him back with a love as great as possible.

**Christ Is the Way

        I attend Mass daily to remain in union with the Lord. This is how I keep my sanity, my sanctity, and my soul safe. Without the Lord, I'd be lost in this world for sure. 

*****Most Urgent*****

        Loving God is most urgent, for we have only a brief moment on earth to prepare for all eternity! 

*****Happy in the LORD

        Today I am so happy with my Lord. He has fulfilled me and I am so satisfied with him that I wish to be totally overwhelmed by him.  

***Faith at Work***

        In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 9, an official came forward, knelt down before Jesus, and said, "My daughter has just died. But come and she will live." Later Jesus arrived at the official's house and raised the little girl from her "sleep." Another woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind Jesus and touched the tassel on his cloak. She said to herself, "If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured." Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, "Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you." And from that hour the woman was cured. In either case, it's faith at work, verifying what Jesus said in Mark:24: "All that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours." So, have courage and believe."

***How to Be Happy

        Today I feel really happy that the God of Christ is my God. I feel that sinning against him is the worst thing I could do to him, and to repent my sins and be forgiven by him is the happiest thing that could happen to me. To obey the Lord always and you are the happiest person always.
