When your motivation is somewhat impure or egoistic, you can feel the unrest in your heart. A troubled heart is always self-made; it has nothing to do with God. Becoming more Christlike is needed.

***God to Be Revered
It's the lack of reverence for the Lord God that leads people to commit sacrileges nowadays. The Lord God may be our friend, my brother, and even our servant, but he is foremost our Most Holy God, our Father, and our Creator. Hence, he deserves the highest reverence, praise, and deference from us.
**God Matching You
When you trust in God ____%, he'll trust in you ___%.
When you are ____% open to God, you'll experience ____% of his wonders.
Whatever number you put in the first blank, the same number appears in the second blank.
**Overwhelmed by God
Communion experience. Receiving the Lord into us is overwhelming. After he filled us to overflowing, it's our turn to offer all of ourselves to him.
***Piece of Precious Knowledge
Knowing that we can trust in Christ Jesus and be saved forever is most precious. We ought to treasure and rejoice in it every moment!
***Christ Alone Fulfills Us
The Lord of Christ can completely fulfill us; to this I can testify. If not, then we are doomed.
***Suffering to Make Us Holier
Today is Friday, the day for praying the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. It came to me that it would please God and make us holier to practice embracing suffering for Christ at least once a day. Hopefully, over time we'll be able to accept all sufferings as blessings from God with joy.

**Knowing Our Role and Duty
The Lord God being our Lord and God, we should serve and love him with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind, and with all our strength. This is our proper role and duty. If we accomplish anything, don't expect any reward. It's entire up to the Lord to do whatever he wishes. But today we pretty much have rejected the Lord and even blame him for all the mess our sins have caused. We have fallen badly and need to beg for his mercy more than ever. As sinners, we don't deserve anything good. It's his love and mercy that we should appreciate forever.
****A Sacrilegious Mass*
A priest offers a Mass with total lack of reverence. This is an abomination! Pray for him and others like him.
I'd like to add a note of clarification today on this video I posted yesterday. This video is not particularly clear in showing what happened. I watched another one which showed clearly that after the consecration of the bread and wine, but before Communion took place, a gust of wind hit the table and blew many hosts off the table.
***Our Great Foolishness
People, to make sure they can take care of themselves, want to be their own lord and not to submit themselves to the Lord God. We try to save ourselves in this life and not realize that our lordship ends the moment we die. How foolish can we be? The Lord God is the Lord of all things for now and ever! Jesus has already told us, "Whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it." (Matthew 16:25, Luke 9:2) Wise up before it's too late!
**Taking Care of the Heart
Communion experience. The Lord can purify, cleanse, make our heart spotless! Take full advantage of it and rejoice!
**Our Heart, God's Most Amazing Gift.
Today is Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows. Mary's heart suffered tremendously for the sake of her Son in her life on earth. Our heart is an amazing gift from God. It experiences both joys and sorrows. Through it we communicate with the Lord and come to know and fall in love with him. When we attain union with God, our heart and his Most Sacred Heart are united. A good, clean heart delights the Father and brings us peace. Take care the heart and we take care of the soul.

***God Loves An Open Soul
Remain open to God always to allow him to surprise and delight you from time to time.
*****Most Fundamental Prayer*****
This is the most difficult but most fundamental of all the prayers. It should be your first prayer, for it prepares you for praying all other prayers. Here it goes: Lord, may I surrender myself completely to you so that you may do whatever you wish with me. This is also the prayer that readies you for attaining union with the Lord.
**God's Transforming Power
Communion experience. You experience union with the Lord. You are liberated by him and you are just not the same person anymore.
**Making God Our Life
If your heart is troubled, go to the Lord first, Ask him to show you why your are troubled and how you can regain peace. Last, ask him to heal any wounds you might have suffered. Then thank and praise him. Know that whatever happens to you is allowed by him for a good reason. The Lord whom we should love the most is also the one in whom we should trust the most. Let all things take us to him.
**Sinners' Proper Action*
Once we realize that we are sinners, we should repent, cry out to the Lord for his mercy, and ask him to make us holy.
