This morning at Mass, I sensed the power of God's word. If you would listen to it with all your heart and with all your soul, it will wholly transform you anew!

*****A Most Serious Message***
Revelation 3:16: Because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. If we do not take the LORD seriously, we are being lukewarm. For example, thinking that we are good enough to get into heaven as we are, choosing to disobey some of the Church teachings we don't agree with, believing that God won't be too harsh on us, confessing your sins without genuine repentance (this is a most serious sin), lack of humility; trusting in God but slack in doing any work, not wishing to go all out for the LORD; not always meaning what you say, etc. Is all this being rather strict? No, because if you do take God seriously (are hot), your reward will be no less than eternal bliss in heaven!

*Spiritual Rejuvenation
Communion experience. I completely opened up to the LORD to let him eradicate all that shouldn't be in me and fill me with what should be in me to the full.
**Reason Christ Is Unwelcome*
People turn away from Christ not because he is false or wrong, but because, on the contrary, he is the truth and the light that makes all those who dwell in darkness feel uncomfortable.
***Simple Rule to Follow*
In today's Gospel reading from Mark 4, Jesus said to his disciples, "The measure with which you measure will be measured out to you." This is all we need to know to have God set the standards we want him to apply to us. The "power" is in our hands. So always treat others the way you would want God to treat you.
***Spiritual Joy Par Excellence***
There is so much beautiful music I can listen to, yet I find sensing Christ's holy presence in silence a lot more satisfying and rewarding.

**Praying to Restore Relationships*
Many people have trouble getting along with others, be they friends or family members. To remedy this, you need to get the Lord involved. That is, you need to pray for those you don't get along with on their behalf, not viewing them as enemies. When you pray with love, you'll find yourself changing for the better too.
***Being Aware of God's Presence
As you follow Christ, how often does your mind dwell on him? Is 60% the usual academic passing grade good enough? I do advocate seeking union with God through the Holy Eucharist for all Catholics. For once you attain union, you'll be aware of God's holy presence at all times.
***Best Tidings for Us*****
We can never be good enough on our own to enter heaven, but Christ can make that a certainty if we believe in him. This is truly the best possible news for humankind!
