*****Most Beneficial Food!

        Communion Experience. Receiving the Holy Eucharist is being made holy and immortal! You can't ask for more.

*****Letting Joy Transform You*****

        A person in love is always happy. Then when you are in love with the Lord God, your joy becomes so overwhelmingly powerful that you are transformed forever! 

*****Super Excellent Way of Living***

        Look forward to Christ's Second Coming or meeting him after you leave this world with anticipation and joy. And remain in complete union with him spiritually every step of the way now. 

**Obedience Leads to Liberation*

        Complete obedience to Christ leads to complete liberation of the spirit.

***Definitive Truth***

        In today's Gospel reading from Mark 16, Jesus, before he ascended into heaven, appeared to the eleven and said to them, "Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned." That last statement is definitive. We must realize that Christ is the Truth and not to be dismissed without consequences. 

***Most Ardent Prayer*

        Today is the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, Apostle. The Lord converted such a hardcore persecutor of Christians as Saul (St. Paul), surely he can convert any of us. It is my most ardent prayerr that he would convert all of us in the world today.

*****Not Alone Anymore

        We are basically alone in this world, for there is not another person you can absolutely trust or depend upon. But if you already belong to Christ whom you can absolutely trust and depend upon for all eternity, you know you are not alone anymore! 

***Common Experience

                 I felt I had entered the garden of peace and joy.

**Peace begins with Us

         If you wish to have peace in the world, you must start with yourself to achieve peace within your own heart. This is where Christ comes in. Follow him all the way and we'll have peace within us and throughout the world. It's that simple.

**Bigger Fools*

         I came across this video on YouTube showing that many super rich people around the world have built their own bunkers or fortresses to protect them from nuclear attacks, zombie invasions, earthquakes, etc. You find installed surveillance equipment, barricades, amors, etc. Inside there's enough food stored to last for years. Many of them also have swimming pools, tennis courts, home theaters, art galleries, gyms, even an escape tunnel. I recall Jesus' parable of the rich fool in Luke 12. The rich man decided to tear down his barns and build larger ones to store his bountiful harvest. He said to himself, "Now as for you, you have so many good things stored up for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!" But God said to him, "You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?" To me, these builders of today are even more foolish, for they believe that they can survive doomsday.

**Nothing Impossible for God?

         If you believe that nothing is impossible for God, then you shouldn't worry about anything anymore. If you still do, then your faith is imperfect. Actually, believing that there are things God cannot accomplish is a sin, for it's saying that he is not omnipotent. If that were true, then you shouldn't believe in him at all. It's in believing truly that nothing is impossible for God that you experience his power and wonders. 

***Why Not Be Fit for God?***

         We exercise right, eat right, rest right, and we become fit physically. Know that if we obey Christ in all things, we become fit spiritually!

**An Absolutely Serious Reminder*

         If you love Christ Jesus more than anyone or anything in the world, you'll know that you are heaven bound. Getting into heaven is a most serious thing. Never ever gamble with your soul! 

**Reflections on Gospel Reading

         Today's entire Gospel reading from Mark 3: Jesus came with his disciples into the house. Again the crowd gathered, making it impossible for them even to eat. When his relatives heard of this they set out to seize him, for they said, "He is out of his mind." First thought: The crowd all wanted to be with Jesus. It struck me that when we attain in union with him, he is right there with us in our heats. Second thought: When we follow Jesus at all times, people often think that we are out of our minds.

***We Have a Personal God***

        Early this morning, I saw the sun up on a rather cloudy day. Again I thought of how the sun had been rising and setting day after day on schedule for perhaps billions of years already. We have a God and creator for sure!  Then Christ came to us and we definitely know that God is our loving Father so personal that we can even attain union with him spiritually! 

**Sweet Tonic

         Communion experience. The Eucharist is the sweetest tonic for the soul.

***Constant Learning from God

         There are no accidents in life. Everything that happens to us conveys a message from our Lord God so that we may learn something from it and be drawn closer to him. Pity the evildoers who are blind to this, thereby not learning anything from God.

**My Only Thought*
