***God's Amazing Love***

         It is the most beautiful and powerful force in the whole universe. I know that if I could just feel it for one nanosecond, it would completely melt my heart and my soul.

***God's Love Cherished***

        God's love is real and concrete. You can experience it, for God is love and he is real and concrete. The love of God is most sweet and powerful, able to transform our life and soul. It is his greatest gift to us and is to be praised with all our heart and soul.

***Great Expectations of the Lord

        Communion experience. That the Lord should feed me with his own body and blood filled me with great confidence that he's going to continue perfecting me and answer all my prayers even more readily. God will always love us, but he can take us seriously only if we take him seriously.

****Is the Lord Your Lord?*

        When you no longer judge anyone, you may call the Lord "Lord." Otherwise, you are being hypocritical.

****Freedom Is . . .*

being wide open to the Lord and ready for anything he sends your way.     

***Preparation for Bearing Good Fruits

        In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 7, Jesus told his disciples about false prophets, "Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. So by their fruits you will know them." How can we bear good fruits? First, let the Lord fill us with his love, then we become selfless and sin no more. Now we are ready.

To Live in Christ Is . . .

to rejoice and suffer along with him.

***Security in Christ***

        Elon Musk has been warning us of the danger of AI, artificial intelligence, for it can possibly destroy us in the future. I see that bad people would surely attempt to use it to control others in order to get their way. So bad days may be ahead. Then since I already belong to Christ, personally there is nothing to fear anymore, for no one can possibly take me away from the Lord.

**Helpful Gesture

        Make the sign of the cross as often as you can. This will help you acknowledge God's holy presence at all times and do things in his name always.  

**The Great Uplifting

        Communion experience. The Lord lifted me to the highest possible level on earth. 

***Most Basic Prayer*

         It's to let God know all about you.

***Important Reminder***

        You can get in touch with God, our creator, our Lord, our loving Father, and our Savior, instantly at any anytime. If you haven't done that yet, then why not? Is it because deep down you know that you are a sinner, so you are afraid to face him? If so, that's good sign. He's actually calling you, letting you know that he can take away all your sins and even heal your soul! Not turning to him is choosing to be imprisoned by sin forever, not a smart thing to do, to say the least. Know that the God of Christ is the only one who can set us free for all eternity.

**Be like the Lord

        Love all, from saints to evildoers, the way our Lord loves them.  

**Delightful Moments of Life*

         These are the moments you approach the Lord with a pure and humble heart and share all your thoughts with him and receive all the thoughts he wishes to impart to you. What a delight!

**A Wake-Up Call**

        In life we do many things . . . we meet people, we make friends, we work and play, we exercise and take vacations . . . But if we do nothing specifically to show or mean that we love God, then we have wasted our time. And the time we have is limited and fleeting!

***Joy Completed

        Communion experience. My joy is complete. I now lack nothing.

*****When God Lets You Know (the Lord an Absolute Delight)*****

         When God lets you know that he is real, you know that he is real. When God lets you know that he loves you, you know that you loves you. When God lets you see the way to get to heaven, you know the way to get to heaven. Of course, to make all this true, we must be open to God first! When I let the Lord in, he helps me accomplish whatever he wishes for me. As I come to know him dearly, I also come to know myself thoroughly. The way to holiness is now clear and made effortless. All this is most rewarding. The LORD is an absolute delight!

**Do Not Judge & the Golden Rule**

       In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 7, Jesus said to his disciples: "Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you." What is judging? Today, if people don't like to hear what you say about them, you are likely to be accused of judging them. Criticizing or correcting a person out of love or for the common good is not judging. Criticizing someone becomes judging only when you do it without love, but with the intention of condemning that person.
         We all know the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." 
Having heard what Jesus said above, we can change it to read: "Do unto others as you would have the Lord God do unto you." Attain union with God thru the Holy Eucharist and you'll automatically follow the rule without thinking about it.
