***Purpose of This Blog***

        It is to let the world know that the Lord wishes to draw all to union with him through the Holy Eucharist. By abandoning yourself in him and attaining union, you get to experience freedom, peace, and joy. You now belong to him and nothing can separate you from his love for you anymore. He has exalted you to the highest plane of existence and you are now heaven bound.         

***True Rest*

        Communion experience. In Christ I found my true rest, a peace only he can provide! 

****Be Merciful like God****

         Today's Gospel reading from John 8 tells the story of the woman caught in adultery. To test Jesus, the scribes and the Pharisees said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?'' He said to them, "Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.'' In response, they went away one by one. This is such a good answer for us to keep in mind: Do not ever condemn anyone unless you are sinless! (This is why judging is a sin.) We know that only God is holy and perfect, yet even he, being merciful, does not ever wish to condemn us. To be like him, we must be merciful like him.

**God's Mercy for All*

        Today's entrance antiphon from Psalm 56: Have mercy on me, O God, for people assail me; they fight me all day long and oppress me. Here the psalmist asks God to have mercy on him rather than to take pity on his enemies. This makes sense, for if God grants him mercy, he'd surely protect him from his enemies. Nevertheless, every single one of us needs God's mercy whether you are the assailer or the victim..

**Joy Brings Sorrow

        The more we are overjoyed with Christ, the more we pity those who do not believe in him.

***Be like a Mirror***

         This morning I got out of bed and saw a perfect round circle of sunlight on my bedroom wall. I realized that it was caused by the low morning sunlight, coming thru the window, hitting the mirror, and getting reflected onto the opposite wall. It was quite remarkable. You usually think of sunlight producing dark shadows, not bright reflections. My inspired thought was that we should be like that mirror reflecting the light of Christ perfectly for all to see. 

**Cause of Profound Peace*

        Communion experience. I felt profound peace because the mystery of my existence has been completely solved.

**Our Role Before the Lord*

       We'll all be measured against Jesus Christ and be judged by him, for he is the perfect one. So imitate him and submit yourself to his mercy.

**Most Apt Saying

         Can you possibly think of anything that's better than enjoying peace and bliss for all eternity? I don't think so. Therefore, it's perfectly correct to say that for all faithful Christians, the best is yet to come.

***Most Pleasing Virtue*

        Being able to accept suffering joyfully and offering it up to the Lord is a great virtue. It makes you Christlike and is most pleasing to the Lord. Besides, it will gain merit for heaven for you.
