Today is the Feast of Saints Philip and James, Apostles. Excerpts from what Jesus said to Philip in John 14; (1) "If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him." (2) "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father." (3) "Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?" Im mathematics, if A is a subset of B, B is a subset of A, then A = B. So Jesus = the Father. These are bold sayings, compelling us to think it they are true or false. To me, all the miracles he performed and his own Resurrection are more than sufficient to make me believe in him all the way. And my own personal experience has completely confirmed that I was right.

**Smart Switch
We who have a conscience feel bad when we have sinned against the Lord, but the Lord also feels bad when we offend him. Furthermore, he even feels worse if we don't repent our sins, and continue heading in the wrong direction. So why not seek to become holy so that we and the Lord can always feel good about each other?

***HAPPY REALIZATION***
Just became aware that God is for me, the whole heaven is for me, and Christ is doing everything for me that's good for me! It's getting to be more and more amazing!
***Only One Perfect Union***
Officially, the Lord is my Lord and my God. Privately, he is my all and as dear to me as my own soul. Union with him is the most beautiful and satisfying union of all unions, for it can make you prefect as he is perfect.
***Never Gamble with Your Life*
If you do not know Christ, you do not know where you are going—you virtually gamble with you life. For those who know Christ well, they know exactly where they're going and are assured of getting there. The difference is great indeed. Let Jesus unify us, not divide us.
***Love Guarantees Life Eternal***
We feel God's love for us, but we'll never be able to fathom it's immensity. Accept and trust in this love and eternal life is guaranteed!
**"Secret" to Eternal Life*
In today's Gospel reading from John 10, Jesus said to the Jews, "My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can take them out of the Father's hand. The Father and I are one." Decades back as I was studying nuclear engineering, I learned how to calculate the critical mass needed to sustain the process of nuclear fission using a mathematical equation, I felt I'd learned a great secret. But this is nothing compared to what Christ has revealed to us here—follow him and we are assured of receiving eternal life no one can take away from us.
***Being a Christian Is . . .
all about helping the Lord defeat evil, defending the one who defends us.
***Three Heavenly Gifts***
Jesus gives us freedom, peace, and joy, more or less in that order. We experience freedom when we become detached from the world. Peace follows after we put our trust entirely in the Lord. Joy is now his free gift to us to sweeten and strengthen our union with him.

***New Eucharistic Miracle***
This amazing miracle happened on March 5th this year at St. Thomas Church, Thomaston, CT. Let the Pastor, Rev. Joseph Crowley, tell you about it. He has a good message for us too.
*****Amazing Endearing Relationship**
I have not seen God visually nor heard him audibly. I have only read and heard about him, Yet, without the slightest doubt, I know he loves me, and I have fallen deeply in love with him. Amazingly, he is more real to me than anyone else in this world, myself included!
**God Is Omnipotent**
Being finite beings, we don't know or understand all things. Then we figure out how to do many things, progressing increasingly. This puffs up our pride to the point that we don't think of God anymore, not realizing that he is infinite and can accomplish anything simply by willing it. He even created all of us! We have to be out of our mind to think that we don't need him. If we possess any sense at all, we would pray to God and believe in him with all our heart.
***Incredible Truth***
Still can't believe that I can have eternal life through Christ! But yes, I am going to live forever with my most beloved Lord and God for all eternity!!! This time, too good to be turns out to be absolutely true!

*****Most Rewarding Feeling*****
Communion time disposition. You remain wide open to the Lord, ready to yield to whatever he wants to tell you. Then he enters you. There is nothing more satisfying and fulfilling than knowing that you and the Lord are of one mind and one spirit!!!

**Becoming Superhuman
Communion thoughts. When we receive the Lord into us, we become superhuman, you might say. We now belong to God and are free of the world. And we have eternal life all granted to us to boot.
