*Overwhelming Experience

Communion experience. When we are overwhelmed by something, we normally get very excited. The love of Christ was so overwhelming that it actually made me speechless. All I could do is to submit myself totally to him in silence. .

**Sensible Asking*

In today's Gospel reading from Mark 1, a leper came to Jesus and kneeling down begged him and said, "If you wish, you can make me clean." Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched the leper, and said to him, "I do will it. Be made clean." The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean. "If you wish . . ." is a good way for us to begin asking the Lord to do something for us. You are not forcing him, and he may very well say "I will do it" to you. Basically, you don't refrain from asking for a miracle, but you'll always follow his will.

**Sensible Thinking*

So many things we we don't know or understand. If you believe that God is infinite and omnipotent, we have no choice but to believe and trust in hm totally. You can go on your own, but where will you end up?

Transformation We All need

Allow Christ to displace our ugly ego with his Holy Spirit, and we'll be set free from ourselves and finally happy with our own existence.

The Lord Can Do It

In today's Gospel reading from Mark 1, people brought to Jesus at the house of Simon and Andrew all who were ill or possessed by demons. The whole town was gathered at the door. He cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons, not permitting them to speak because they knew him. Now, if Jesus can deliver us form demons, he can certainly take away our sins and make us holy if we let him.

**Proper Response to God Calling Us*

In today's First Reading from 1 Samuel 3, Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the LORD. The LORD came and called Samuel. He answered, "Here I am, LORD. Speak, for your servant is listening." This is how we should always respond to the LORD, being ready and willing.

Most Wonderful Day Coming

Today's Entrance Antiphon: Upon a lofty throne, I saw a man seated, whom a host of angels adore, singing in unison: Behold him, the name of whose empire is eternal. Christ is our God, our Lord, and our Savior. He is greater, more glorious, more magnificent, and more beautiful than we can ever imagine. When I see him in person, it'll be the most wonderful day of my existence up to that day!
