It's easy to pray for others to become holier, forgetting that praying for ourselves to become more perfect should take first priority. To help others obey God, we need to obey him ourselves first. To help others become holy, we need to become holy ourselves first.

**God Knows What Suits You
God will use you for his glory and your salvation as much as you'll let him. Since he knows you thoroughly, if you are open to him, he'll let you know exactly how you can best serve him. He'll never impose upon you anything for which you are not ready or that's beyond your endurance. You can always trust in the Lord who is wise, kind, and most considerate.

***Praying for Souls in Purgatory
I am posting this video to urge all to pray for the souls in purgatory. When you pray for them, they will in turn pray for you too. I met Vicka on one pilgrimage to Medjugorje. As our group listened to her speak, we were able to look at the bright sun comfortably, for the glare was gone.
**Sign You've Surrendered to God
The Lord God occupies you mind and soul totally so that all worldly things no longer interest you. For everything pales next to the magnificence of the Lord.
***Unique Intimacy
Through receiving the Holy Eucharist, you can attain union with God. Now you enjoy the greatest intimacy, possible only with the Lord God.

*****Refreshing Message*****
I shall end my posting this month with this uplifting video. Fr. Corapi's message is alway to the point and refreshing! This is how Catholics should be fed so that they will know their faith and be inspired to spread the gospel. God bless Fr. Corapi.
***Blessed Awareness
I look at my life and see clearly that the life I'll have after I leave this earth is really the important part of my existence, for it'll last forever. This awareness changes my outlook completely. I am now free from the world and want to remain in Christ only while I am still here.
***God Becomes Our Joy
The joy of reconciliation to God is an ongoing process. As your reconcile more, you grow closer to union with him. Now your joy intensifies too and can become overwhelming. You are never the same person again, for the Spirit has touched your soul deeply. The Lord now becomes your pure joy!
***One Greatest Joy***
This is the joy you experience when you reconcile yourself to God the Father. It's the joy of returning home to spend eternity in heaven with the One who loves you with the greatest possible love, a joy that's unspeakable and out of the world! Of course, if you remain aloof from God, you'll never experience this wonderful joy.
**Fear of God
If you sin against God and come to fear him, that is normal. But if I am already with God, to fear him does not really mean that I am scared of him. It now means that I must follow him faithfully and not sin anymore. If you call that a fear, then it's a healthy or holy fear.
***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.
***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.
***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.
