The Three Days of Darkness will seem to be God's last warning to us. We'll probably have the Illumination of the Conscience first. No matter, just love the Lord now with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Seek to attain union with him through the Holy Eucharist would be ideal.

*Vatican Corruption
Matthew 10.26: Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known, says the Lord.
**The Righteous Have God's Ear
The wicked do not hear nor pray to God. But the righteous cry out to him and he hears and listens to them. In such evil times as ours, we need to go to God and pour our heart out to beg for his mercy on all. If we are not able to act physically to help the situation, we can always go to the Lord to ash him to crush evil and save all souls, for he cares for us all.

**Change Yourself, Not God
God cannot be faulted. He is perfect, holy, full of love, and understands everything. If you are unhappy, it's time to look at yourself. It's the Lord calling you to go to him for help. You must reconcile yourself to him first so that he may make you anew. Then you'll see things clearly as he sees them. Let him be your guide and refuge from now on and you'll experience peace and joy and gain eternal life to boot!
***God's Beautiful Words
God is beautiful in every way, his words included. They bring hope, encouragement, consolation, and joy to our soul and spirit. Keep them and he comes right to you to be one with you. If you think God is remote or unreachable, that's because you have a hardened heart.
**God Our Soul Healer
Left on our own, we become spiritually ill and disordered. If we will only open wide our hearts to let the Lord in, his holy presence within us alone will heal our souls. The best time to do this is when we receive him in the Holy Eucharist, instituted by the Lord for us to attain union with him.
***Glad We Have God
In this mixed-up, lost, chaotic, evil world, I am so happy that we have an all-knowing, compassionate Lord who will judge everyone with perfect justice and put everything in perfect order in the end. Let's pray, hope, and remain patient, for God will always deliver those who trust in him.

**Living a Most Rewarding Life
In today's Gospel reading from Luke 7, a Pharisee invited Jesus to dine with him, and he entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at table. A sinful woman in the city learned about this. Bringing an alabaster flask of ointment, she came and stood behind Jesus at his feet weeping and began to bathe his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and anointed them with the ointment. Since she showed great love for the Lord, he forgave all her sins. What I learn here is that every little thing we do motivated by our love for the Lord he knows, and he will reward us for it. We only need to serve him faithfully without fail and we'll live a most rewarding life now and forever.
**Secret of Finding Rest in Christ
Today's Gospel acclamation, Matthew 11.28: Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest, says the Lord. Do you know that when you labor and toil in life, Jesus can help you? Do whatever you must do for his sake and you'll find it easy. It is exactly when we do all things for our own sake that we get stressed out. See yourself as an employee working for the Lord and you'll receive power, strength, and peace on earth, let alone the great reward you'll receive in heaven!
**Eye Witness Report of the Resurrection
In today's second reading from 1 Corinthians 15, Paul wrote: I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures; that he was buried; that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures; that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. After that he appeared to James, then to all the Apostles. Last of all, as to one born abnormally, he appeared to me. There are many other writings showing that Christ did rise from the dead, but listening to what Paul said here alone is enough to believe that the Resurrection of the Lord indeed took place.
**Superior Advantages of Knowing God
If you are self-centered and aware of yourself only, you'll never get to know God. But if you are aware of God's holy presence and center your attention upon him always, he will reveal all the truths, his thoughts, his ways, and his wisdom to you to set you free and make you wise in all matters.
***The Greatest Losers
Our greatest achievement is not being able to get to Mars and beyond, not figuring out ways of eliminating all life-threatening diseases, not producing enough food to wipe out world hunger, etc. All mentioned above would take vast amounts of money, research, time, and effort to achieve with no guarantee of success. The greatest achievement for each of us is get to heaven! It takes only faith in Christ and success is assured. Such great news, but so few pay serious attention, for their ego has made them see only themselves. Those who lose eternal life have to be the greatest of all losers for sure!

**Today is like Jesus' Days
In today's Gospel reading from Luke 7, Jesus said to the crowds; "John the Baptist came neither eating food nor drinking wine, and you said, 'He is possessed by a demon.' The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you said, 'Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But the wisdom is vindicated by all her children." So the crowds always blame you, no matter what you do. This is exactly what our phony politicians and phony news reporters and newscasters have been doing for years and are still doing everyday today spinning lies against those they hate. Repent, for Jesus is coming!
**Phony Catholics
In today's first reading from 1 Corinthians 12, Paul wrote: Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, love is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all thing. I don't expect today's politicians who proclaim that they are Catholics to be all saints, but if you measure what they do against the standards Paul has set here, I am afraid that they fail meeting any of them.
***What We Must Realize
Another big important realization: we shall all have to answer to God. So, are you ready for that moment now? I wouldn't wait until the last minute, for you may not have that minute.
***Our Soul Our Treasure
My big realization is that unlike all other forms of life created by God, we are created in his image and given a soul. That is why we are so precious to him and should safeguard our soul as our greatest treasure. To not care about your soul is to not care about God, thus dooming yourself. It's so very clear.
