Nothing is impossible for God. Common sense alone tells us so. He has always existed, so he has to be almighty. If that were not true, how would he be able to manage our little planet, let alone the vast universe with seemingly infinite stars and galaxies? So if you believe that God, the God of Christ, that is, for there are no other qualified candidates that can even approach him, then you should live what you believe in by placing your whole trust in Christ!

*****Eternal Life Secret*****
When we live for Christ, we are so happy that we are willing to die for him, then we "find out" that we are going to live forever! It should be obvious that if we are afraid of dying, we really need to live for Christ or we'll surely die.
***Plain Reality (Blunt Truth)***
Jesus is our creator and our loving God. Without him, we wouldn't even exist. Not believe in him and we become lost souls, for there's no on else who can save us.
**Disadvantage in an Antichrist World*
In today's first reading from 1 John 3-4, the Apostle talks about the antichrist and the world. It made me realize that we are already starting off with an antichrist world; so to follow Christ, we need to be set free from it in order to belong fully to the Lord. I hope that realizing this disadvantage will make us all the more want to become detached from the world as quickly as possible.
***Know How Much We Can Hurt God!***
We all know that when we sin, we hurt the Lord, but do we really feel it? Say someone we don't care for much ignores or offends us, that probably wouldn't affect us much. Then if it were our own son or daughter whom we love very much doing it to us, I'm sure we'd feel greatly hurt. Now, our God loves us with the greatest possible love, even dying for us on a cross so that we might enjoy heaven. Imagine how much he would feel hurt if we ignore or offend him! That would be beyond our grasp! If you could experience a tiny fraction of how he feels, I am sure that you'd never want to sin against him again!

**Our Dreams vs. God's Will
Chasing after our own dreams for personal gain invariably leads to a feeling of emptiness of life, while doing God's will always fulfills the desires of our hearts.
***Best Thing You Can Do***
When you surrender yourself totally to God, your estrangement from him is no more, now everything about you is made right, and heaven rejoices. This is the best thing you can possibly do for both God and yourself!
***Sharing God's Joy*
Let the love of Christ overwhelm you completely and you'll receive the joy that lasts forever!
**Sharpening Our Conscience**
Only by knowing Christ and God's love for us shall we be able to discern clearly what's right and what's wrong.
***What Following Christ Entails
A Christian in union with Christ is always joyful and content; he does not complain about anything. Suffering will be his only burden when he sees the world offending the Lord, then he will offer it up to him to console him. Following Christ is to be with him every step of the way.

***Relationsiop with God Test
Christ Jesus is to be enjoyed and appreciated now and forever. If you don't experience much joy with him, your relationship with him is still not quite up to par yet.
***Definitive Proclamation*
Today is the Memorial of St. Elizebeth Ann Seton. John 6:51 is the Communion antiphon: I am the living bread from heaven, says the Lord. Whoever eats this bread will live forever; the bread I shall give is my flesh for the life of the world. Here is one definitive statement made by Christ. The message is so clear that to reject it, you'll have to know that Christ totally didn't know what he's talking about or it's because your pride has blinded your mind's eye.
