***How to Be Able to Love God?***
Simple and true:—You just let him love you! Let God love you as much as possible and you'll able to love him as much as possible.
***Greatest Consolation
Communion experience. Receiving the Lord in the Eucharist has to be the greatest consolation of my life, for it can overcome all my sorrows.
*God Makes Us Worry-Free
It's good to realize that there is nothing God cannot handle and he loves us and is always with us. This should be good enough to make us worry-free.
**Our Christian Duty
In today's Gospel reading from Mark 5, Jesus healed a demoniac and said to him, "Go home to your family and announce to them all that the Lord in his pity has done for you." It is our duty that we announce to all what the Lord has done for us. Then you say that he wasn't even around when all those things happened. Does this mean that if we don't see him, then it has nothing to do with him? Of course not. God is in control and nothing can happen without his allowance. If you don't believe, you have no faith.
***Obedience to God Begets Peace
Freedom lies in doing God's will. Solid proof: When we disobey the Lord, we lose our peace.
*Joining the Heavenly Family
Jesus is God the Father's only begotten Son and our only Lord. When we follow him, we become God's adopted sons and daughters.

**Taming of the Self
A sinner unchecked is like a wild animal; he is self-centered and does what he wants to do for himself. Once you attain union with the Lord, he has tamed you, you might say. Now you listen to him and want to do his will only. Filled with the Holy Spirit, you willingly and joyfully want to please him alone. You now possess a super sharp conscience; you see all your imperfections and want to eradicate them all. No oppression is felt at any point. In fact, you feel completely liberated and renewed.
**Mind Your Own Business
This means that you become holy; love and serve God with all your heart, soul, and mind; and are to answer to him alone. Then you'll automatically know how to love others.
***Only One Thing We Need to Know*
There are so many things we shall never understand in this life. That's OK, as long as we know and believe that Christ is our Lord and Savior.
**Good Way to See Ourselves
Since the Lord God is all-knowing and created us, and we cannot understand anything without him teaching us, it is only proper and wise for us to see ourselves as kindergarten kids before him, alway listening to and learning from him. This'll teach us to remain humble too.

***Good Rule for Acquiring Humility***
Whatever you attempt to do, if doing it will draw people's attention only to you and not to God, don't do it. This is a golden rule to follow if you wish decrease yourself and let the Lord increase in your life.
***What Jesus Came to Us For
Never forget that Jesus came down to earth to save only sinners. The greater your sin, the more he wants to help you. To reject him is like refusing to go and see your doctor when you are sick and dying!
***Evidence Jesus Is God
Jesus accomplished whatever he wished simply by willing it. He willed to heal someone and the person got well instantly. He willed to change water into wine and it's done on the spot. He willed to calm down the storm and it obeyed him outright. Look at us, when we want to accomplish something, we can spend a lot of money, do extensive research and study, and still fail to come up with anything. Christ has to be the Lord God!
**God Speaking to Us Through Laity*
Many believe that we are now living in some kind of end-times. Even the Church has been infiltrated by evil. And there have never been this many messages and warnings purportedly coming from heaven, asking us to convert, repent, and surrender to God. Of course, not all such prophecies are reliable, but you can trust the ones that come to us from the saints and those seers that have been approved by the Church. All this shows that we are in urgent need of returning to God or it may be too late for us. At Mass in most Catholic churches, you hear the usual complacent homily preached without any urgency. There have been courageous priests who did speak out, then they got reprimanded by their superior or canceled by the bishop altogether. I believe that since the Church doesn't speak out loud and clear for the Lord, he has no choice but to use more and more of his lay followers to help him spread his messages.

***Three Days of Darkness
This has been prophesied by quite a number of holy persons in the past and I personally believe that it will happen. I think that the warning, the Illumination of Conscience, will come first, and the three days of darkness could follow sooner than we expect. You'll find many YouTube videos on the subject. Here is a good presentation not too long by Dr. Taylor Marshall. Anyway, the important message is that we convert and reman holy, and we'll have no need to fear whatever punishment or chastisement God sends our way.
