I just realize that of course I am going to Christ since I already sense his presence at all times.

**How God Rewards Us
Many of us have been give special talents by God. If you're so gifted and use your talent to honor and glorify the Lord, you will surely be rewarded by him in heaven and perhaps on earth also. But you are gifted and use your talent exclusively for your own gain, you'll be rewarded by him on earth only. So it's our choice.
***WHERE IS FEAR OF GOD?***
I carried a heavy heart all day today after I listened to Joe Biden's State of the Union Speech at the House of Representatives yesterday. Incredibly, he said that he'd like to have Roe vs. Wade restored so that abortion can become legal again. As you know, since the Roe vs. Wade decision legalizing abortion came down from the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973, at least 60 millions of unborn children had been aborted by 2017 (see my post here). Finally, in June of 2022, the current court overturned that decision, realizing that it was a mistake. Now Biden wants to resume killing the unborn—how horrible! All the Democrats sitting on one side cheered loudly. Satan must be cheering too. I pity their souls, for they didn't know what they're doing. The Republican half sitting on the other side remained silent. The scene of the last judgment in which Christ will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left came to my mind. I could only beg for God's mercy.
Biden still proclaims that he's a Catholic. Officially, any Catholic who openly goes against the teachings of the Church would be excommunicated, yet for Biden, the debate has been going on for quite some time. It just shows that Satan has also infiltrated the Church. We are in end times.

**Great Peace & Joy
Communion experience. I let the Lord completely soften my heart so that I might become completely obedient to him.
***Truth***
Peace, outer or inner, will come to us only if we all let our Savior take away our sins!
**Compelling Lord
In today's Gospel reading from Luke 11, Jesus said to the crowds "Whoever is not with me is against me." So we cannot remain neutral and must choose sides, for he is the ever-existing Lord!

***Spiritual Progress a Joy
When you progress spiritually, you know it. Then you look at the Lord and see that he's still infinitely holier than you. So you know you can grow a lot more. This is what makes our spiritual journey exiting—you can keep growing in the Lord. With such intention, he will help you along to make your progress effortless and a joy!
**Helpful Meditation
Meditate on the fact that the Lord God actually created you out of love to be a unique being he delights in, and you'll feel much better about him and yourself.
***Smart way of doing Things
Do not do whatever you want to do and turn to the Lord only when you need his help. Instead, have the Lord with you always and do only what he wants you to do; now you simply follow along, letting him smooth the way for you.
**Totally Satisfied
Communion experience. The antiphon from Psalm 16: You will show me the path of life, the fullness of joy in your presence. This perfectly describes my feeling.
**The Lord Our Focal Point*
All roads lead to Rome. Similarly, anything we need to do is an opportunity for us to serve and glorify the Lord. Now the Lord becomes our main focus in life.

**Heart-Mind Connection
The Lord always speaks to our heart and can keep it pure. But we see and hear the world, and temptations enter our mind, tending to defile the heart. This is what we need to guard against. This is why we pray to the Lord not to lead us into temptation. Again, I advocate that you seek union with God through the Holy Eucharist. Once you attain union, you super sharp conscience will guard you against any impure thoughts. Having the heart and mind in sync with each other, you can now serve the Lord in peace.
***Basking in God's Holiness!
Communion experience. I felt palpably the Lord's holy presence, and I just happily bask in it. What a joy and consolation!
**The Two Sides**
Our life is one continuous one. We die and we are on the other side. The Lord is always with us on this side; but on the other side, he'll be either with us or not with us. So hold onto him now and you'll have him with you forever.
**Simple Principle
In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 18, we heard read the parable of the unforgiving servant. The lesson here is that we must be merciful to others as the Lord is merciful to us. In other words, we must be like him. So it's a very simple principle, easy to remember. To follow it is another matter. Here's where you need to surrender your will to his, making following him a cinch.
