Important Moment

        Communion experience. I felt I was born for this moment. 

**How Far Apart Are We and God?

        If we were truly aware of our sinful state and need for salvation, we would be prostrating ourselves before the Lord God, repenting of our sins, and begging earnestly for his mercy. If Christ were truly No. 1 in our life, we would be thinking and talking about him most of time instead of all the other things of the world. 

**Why Do We Get Angry?

        In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 5, Jesus said to his disciples, "I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother is liable to judgment." Why do we get angry? Many things can make us lose our cool, but I can see that we get angry basically because we lack humility. Being angry with someone is liable to judgment, precisely because it manifests the presence of our ego and pride.  

***God Is Fair

         Today's Psalm response from Psalm 130: "If you, O Lord, mark iniquities, who can stand?" If the Lord judges us to be guilty, we are guilty indeed. But his mercy is infinite. He made it clear to Ezekiel in the first reading today that he does not derive any pleasure from the death of the wicked man, but rather rejoice when he turns from his evil way that he may live. He is on our side and for us. He only wishes to save us, not condemn us. By choosing to commit iniquity, we choose death ourselves. God's way is totally fair. We must not let our pride and the world blind us so that we no longer see the truth!

***The Only One

        There is only one person to whom we need to get close to know most intimately, and that's Christ the Lord!  

*****Test of Your Love for God*****

        At Mass this morning, the Lord made me see that loving him is measured by how much we don't judge and how much we forgive others. If you truly love God, you would not judge anyone and always forgive everyone. 

**God Confirms My Trust in Him

        Right after I blogged my last post God ANSWERS Our Calls, I just turned to the readings for today's Mass and found the response to Psalm 138 to be its verse 3a: "Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me." This is a confirmation from the Lord. How perfect God's timing is! He fills me with more joy!

*****God ANSWERS Our Calls!

        On January 21, 2021, I first posted Fr. Jim Blount's video Three Days of Darkness. Then a moment ago I just posted his video on the Flame of Love Unity Prayer. I explored more of his videos and found this inspirational talk by him. It's 40 minutes long, but I think you'll enjoy every minute of it. It's inspiring because it shows that we could trust God with every little thing and should trust him with all things. Yes, God is absolutely relevant to us. No trust and you experience no wonders. Full trust and you experience all the wonders! It's that simple. (The talks ends at 40:56.)

****Power Prayer That Blinds Satan

        Yesterday I discovered the Flame of Love Movement of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (https://flameoflove.us/). The movement was started by Our Lady thru Elizabeth Kindelmann, a laywoman from Budapest, Hungary, who died in 1985. It has now spread worldwide. I found a Fr. Jim Blount video explaining how the Flame of Love Unity Prayer has the power of blinding Satan. Now I see that we can pray it to keep Satan out of any situation. You'll find the words of this powerful Prayer below the video. (The talk ends at 8:07.)

My adorable Jesus,

May our feet journey together.

May our hands gather in unity.

May our hearts beat in unison.

May our souls be in harmony.

May our thoughts be as one.

May our ears listen to the silence together.

May our glances profoundly penetrate each other.

May our lips pray together to gain mercy from the Eternal Father.

**Totally Satisfied with God

        Communion experience. After receiving the Lord, I simply basked in the his holy presence and love.  

***Know How God Has Made Us***

        Sin is always oppressive. It weighs heavily on the heart, making us lose our peace. You cannot sin and feel free at the same time. On the other hand, serving God as a Christian is an obligation, but it's always uplifting and never oppressive. In fact, when you let the Lord take over your life, you experience the greatest freedom. This is how the Lord has made us. From this, we should be smart enough to learn the right way to live, the way God has intended for us.

***Urgent Messages for the World

         The world needs to return to God. The messages and signs are loud and clear, but many people of the world have already been ensnared by the Devil. Here are Mother Mary's urgent words given to Blessed Elena Aiello for us to hear. [Elena Aiello (1895-1961) was an Italian nun who founded the Minim Sisters of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. She was also a mystic, stigmatic, and victim soul.]

**Best Time to Face God

        It's unavoidable that we'll all be judged by God one day. We can choose to face him now or put it off until our time arrives. To me, facing him now to get it out of the way is the only wise, realistic choice. For you get yourself ready now and know that you'll be welcomed by God the Father when you face him in person next. 

**More than VIPs to God*

         God the Father loves us so much that he willingly sacrificed his own Son to save us! We are most precious to him! How can we not take care of our own souls? How can we not humbly thank and love the Father? 

*****Don't Get Tripped by This

        In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 7, Jesus taught his disciples to say the Lord's Prayer. I believe the most difficult part of that prayer for us to say is the part "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us." But follow him we must, for the Lord added: "If you do not forgive men their transgressions, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions." So, never judge and always forgive.
          Fr. Goring's new video reinforces that point. 

***Understanding Good and Evil

         We all understand good and evil. This morning I saw that as an amazing thing! It made me see clearly that God exists and this was how he had made us. It all made perfect sense.

****Making Life a Prayer

        Do everything for God's sake, then your whole life becomes one beautiful prayer. 

*****Most Extraordinary Meeting*****

         Communion experience. Receiving Christ in the Holy Eucharist is no ordinary meeting. You have the creator of heaven and earth entering you to be united with you! It's more than just touching the Lord physically; it's spiritual union! You now belong to your most beloved Lord and are not the same old person anymore.
