We usually admire people who look good, are powerful, are generous and loving, never show off, and/or are holy. Look at Christ Jesus and you'll find all these attributes and then some. In fact, he is the embodiment of everything that's good and beautiful. This is why so many of us have fallen deeply in love with him. In him, you find total fulfillment, the completion of your existence.

*Myopic Learning
We all learn the ways of the world fast. We find out how to get good jobs, invest our money wisely, know influential people, etc. We learn from both mistakes and other people and pretty soon do quite well in this world. Sad that we don't see the forest for the trees. Know God first and you'll know how to live this life wisely and take care of your next life as well.
**Awake or Asleep?*
We are supposed to love God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our strength, and with all our mind. So how are we doing? Looking at the world, I can't say that most of us are even awake. Even though God's mercy is infinite, it wouldn't do us any good if we remain oblivious to it. On the other hand, we can make his work in saving us effortless. Then our eternal joy is assured. The choice we face: to wake up or to remain asleep (possibly forever).
**Heavenly Experience
Communion experience. I have never been to heaven. But after I received the Lord in the Holy Eucharist, I was virtually in heaven.
**Beautiful, Logical Sequence
(1) Say the Lord's Prayer with all your heart. (2) Abandon yourself completely to the Lord. (3) You are ready for union with God.
***Most Personal Lord
When Jesus changes the bread and wine into his own body and blood during the liturgy of the Eucharist, he does that for all those present. Nevertheless, at Mass this morning I felt that he, being my personal Lord, just did it for me, and I was overwhelmed.
**This Is Also Trust in God
God does not discriminate. He treats and judges us differently because our backgrounds and life experiences are all different. He knows exactly what we deserve in each case. We are to mind our own business and not judge anyone else.
**Living Fully in Christ
Since there is no limit to how much we can love God, we always fall short of loving him as much as we should. This precisely makes wanting to live a full life in Christ challenging and exciting!
***Proof God Loves Us*
The fact that we can establish a most personal relationship with him, achieving intimate union with him through the Holy Eucharist.

**Old Age Wisdom
As we age, we should think more about where we are going and not to get more stuck in this world. You should see that all things pass and when you pass away, you'll have to leave everything behind forever. So the older you get, the more you should let things go. If you still hold onto what you have now, most likely you are not ready to face reality yet and that's not good for your soul. So wake up when you still have time.
***Cause of My Joy
Today I am really happy because I see God as the only one who can touch. purify, and take care of my soul and I have him. A huge deal it is!
