I know I have offended my God and I am ready and willing to pay every cent I owe him, knowing that he is most kind and always just. To be disciplined by the Lord before entering heaven is totally fitting and something to look forward to.

**Only Response to the Lord
Communion experience. No questions, nothing to say . . . I simply submit myself to the Lord with gratitude and in contentment.
**Not to Be Ignored*
God can make us holy. I am pretty sure that you all know that, but how does it strike you? If you ever wish to get into heaven for sure, then you should try to be as holy as possible. To ignore this matter is to bury your head in the sand. Pretty soon, life will be over and you chance to get into heaven for sure is no more.
**Changing Your Course of Life
To believe in the God of Christ is to change you outlook and life. First, you repent of you sins to get started. Then you realize that you have the perfect almighty God, your most loving Father, looking after you and helping you grow holy. You finally develop an unshakable faith and know that nothing can ever stop you from returning to God your Father in heaven. Now you rejoice in the Lord always!

***Call to Perfection***
Communion experience. You can't receive the Lord and still sin. If the Lord dwells in you, there must be no place for sin. Remain in deep union with him and you will be off-limits to sin.
**The Lord Essential to Us
In today's Gospel reading from Luke 11, Jesus said to the crowd, "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters." This tells me that we must follow and produce good results for him. In other words, we need him.
***Reaching Maximum Strength Spiritually
The motto "United we stand, divided we fall" is practically common sense. So when we attain union with God, we stand with him forever.
***Loving God Takes Care of Us
We are sinners and both good and bad things happen to us. But for those who love God, he take cares of them and whatever happens to them is always best for them. The world as a whole is also a sinful place with good and bad things happening to it. Even though many in the world do not love God, everything will still work out best for those who love him. So we who love the Lord accept whatever comes our way, knowing that they are best for us and that we'll triumph over evil with him in the end.

***Most Satisfying Experience
This is when you are in deep communion with the Lord. You are not actually praying to him—you simply remain in him, sharing you innermost thoughts and feelings with him, asking him questions, letting him help you understand yourself, etc. It's not all asking for favors from him; it's simply enjoying your intimate union with him. Do this as often as you can and you'll be one happy content soul!
***Saddest State
It is being lost, not knowing what to do nor where to go. By contrast, the most blessed state is being in union with Christ, knowing the truth in toto.
***The Lord Is Mine
Communion experience. Since I now belong to Christ alone, he is now my Lord and my God.
**Myotic Generation
I lament the fact that in our world today, so many of us try so hard to advance themselves in every way and few make any effort to secure their eternity in advance. Don't count on that you'll always have the chance to repent your sins and return to God just before you die. If you were smart, you would want to secure only what will make you happy for all eternity ASAP!
****A Must for Us
We absolutely need to be open to the Lord God of Christ. For when we are open to him, he becomes open to us and we get to know him. Once we know him, we know the whole truth and ourselves as well. And we are free!

***Dealing with Rejections***
Care only about what the Lord God thinks of you. So if people reject you for whatever reason, it's their problem. In fact, if they reject you because you are for Christ, consider that to be a great honor and rejoice in it. In sum, as long as the Lord loves you, don't let anything, rejection or not, bother you in this world.
****Perfect Communion****
Receiving the Holy Eucharist is to submit oneself totally to Christ the Lord. Doing so, you experience union and rest. Otherwise, it would amount to being hypocritical or even sacrilegious!
***Heaven Bound
Communion experience. I am not in heaven yet, but receiving Christ in the Holy Eucharist marks clearly that the journey has begun.
***Our Choice Matters***
In today's first reading from Jonah 3, when God saw how the people of Nineveh repented of their evil ways, he repented of the evil that he had threatened to do to them, and he did not carry it out. This shows how important it is for us to repent our sins, for it can change God's mind. I'd like to go straight to my point. With our free will, we can choose to obey or disobey the Lord. One choice leads us to become like him, while the other, to utter self-annihilation.
****What We Owe the Lord
Today Tuesday, again the day for praying the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. I thought of how the sins of all of us were placed upon Christ alone when he offered himself to die in place of us on the cross. We are truly indebted to him for having paved the way for us to go all the way to heaven after we depart from the earth.
