**Ranking the Lord**

         In Matthew 22, Jesus gave us the greatest and the first commandment: "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." Who is No.1 in your life? If you rank the Lord above yourself, then you are A-OK. But if he's not even on your list, that would be terrible and you'll reap what you sow. Best yet, have only the Lord on your list and he'll exalt you beyond your highest expectations!

*****God's Mercy Is Infinite*****

         I love praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Praying it from the heart can truly change you into a forgiving person to others and yourself! Listen to this amazing story to learn about God's infinite merdy and thank him for that.

***Confidence in the Lord***

        Communion time thought: If Christ can get me into heaven, he surely can and would make me holy and blameless.

***Beware of This***

        God is ever present and his presence is most holy. Wherever you are, you are in his holy presence! So sin no more.

**How to Hear God Speak to You**

         To hear the Lord's voice, you must be open and ready to do his will.

***To All Pick-and-Choose Catholics*

        Here's a video with a message that may help those Catholics who have difficulty in accepting all the teachings of the Church.

**Love Jesus . . .**

for there is nothing sweeter and more fulfilling than loving Love.

*****Living in Christ*****

        We have Christ and the world, the two opposites. If you live in world, you have no clue about what living in Christ is like. Bur if you are already living in Christ, you know all about what living in the world is like, for you came from the world. I am going to tell you a little bit about what living in Christ is like. If you are still a prisoner of the world, you can learn a lot.
        In union with Christ, the Holy Spirit sets your heart on fire and make you aware of his Holy Presence at all times. You develop a super sharp conscience such that all sins become loathsome and repulsive, and you don't ever want to sin again. Under God's mercy, you are totally set free from sin. Serving God and carrying any cross for his sake are both joys. What's amusing to the world is now utterly boring. Apparently, you are now living on a higher spiritual level. You easily forgive everyone, experiencing profound peace. Prayer is heart-to-heart communication with God who is now also your best friend and soulmate. You lose all fear of death and look forward to the day you return to him. 

***Joy of Receiving Christ**

        Communion experience. Fr. B raised the host held in his hand and said the words of Jessus at the Last Supper: TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT: FOR THIS IS MY BODY WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU. Our response was "My Lord and my God." As I said that, I was exuberant and so proud that Christ is all mine!

****Our Only Way****

         In John 24:6, Jesus said to Thomas, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." This means to me that Jesus is our final judge in deciding whether we get to enter heaven or not. Today it also struck me that only through him can we be set free from sin and our soul find eternal rest. That makes him OUR ONLY WAY!
