***"Think No Evil" Best?

        Scammers nowadays are rampant. It shows how evil has taken control of our societies. Do you know that when you buy a health supplement online, if you're not careful enough, you are likely to receive a fake product? One YouTuber tested 27 different brands of berberine he ordered from Amazon and found that three of them contain no berberine at all and only five of them 100% berberine. That's pretty shocking, for you can endanger people's health here! Of course, online scammers we encounter daily. Using credit cards to shop is a risk too. I wonder how God will judge a scammer who has stolen $10 from someone vs. one who has stolen a million dollars from others. Would they be guilty to the same degree? What if the $10 was taken from some really poor soul and the million from a multibillionaire? I don't know the answer. The solution is not to sin at all, then you won't have to think about such questions. 

**Our Duty and Aspiratioin

         We acknowledge that Christ is our Lord and our God—let us live up to tt. 

**Basic Law**

        Fall deeply in love with God and you are filled with constant joy.  So if you are not happy with life, you don't love God enough yet.

***Reversing Our Predicament***

        Again, I'd like to make a blunt statement which some people may not want to hear, but I believe to be true: We are all sinners heading straight toward hell unless we do something about it. You see, I can't say that as sinners we are naturally heaven bound. Now, to reverse our situation, we only need to turn to Christ. His whole purpose of coming to us on earth was to save all future generations.

***Purpose & Power of the Eucharist***

        (1) To unites you with the Lord spiritually so that you may become holy.
        (2) To set your heart on fire so that you may assist the Lord in saving all souls.

***Balanced Approach to Prayer

        We can ask God for favors once, believing that he will grant them and stop praying anymore, or we can pray persistently, concerned that God may not grant them to us. These are the two extreme examples. I believe that the best approach is to pray unceasingly but also believe firmly that the Lord will respond to us favorably, thus showing both our fervency and trust in him. 

***Our Missing Piece***

        Communion experience. Christ is exactly the one we need to make our existence meaningful and a joy, for he is the truth!

**Biggest Fools

         I know of people who spend a lot of money on what they wear, what they eat, and how they look, but don't realize that they'll have to justify all that before God one day soon. The biggest fools are the ones who do not even realize that they are being foolish.

***Happy Separation***

        Communion experience. My body is still on earth, but my spirit is already with Christ the Lord in heaven. 

***To Be Righteous Before God*

        Today is the memorial of Saint Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop and Doctor of the Church. In thje Gospel reading from Matthew 13, Jesus said to the disciples: “The Kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea, which collects fish of every kind. When it is full they haul it ashore and sit down to put what is good into buckets. What is bad they throw away. Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.” We must be sure that we live a life good enough now to be considered righteous before the Lord later. Best yet, attain union with the Lord through the Holy Eucharist and you won't need to be concerned about how to live your life right with God anymore.
