***Making Loving God Easy
When you let the Lord love you, you want to do everything in his name because you now love him more than anything else.
***Fear of Judgment Vanished***
After morning Mass, I remained in the chapel alone with the Lord. As this is Independence Day weekend, not many came to Mass and those who did left early. I had the chance to remain completely open to the Lord to be in full communion with him—all my fear of judgment vanished! Be on good terms with the Lord and you don't need to be concerned about judgment day anymore.

**Responding to God
Communion experience. The Lord is now all mine; I am ready to do my small part as best I can.
***Upright Living***
Live each day as if it were the only day that's worth living for. More specifically, live it selflessly for the sake of Christ alone. This is making the best use of your time on earth to honor God and live in peace.
***All Except the Lord Are Distractions*
In the homily this morning at Mass, I heard Fr. Steve say that everything but Christ is a distraction. I thought that was so true. Imagine how much time we waste on distractions. Focus our whole attention on the Lord and let everything else flow from it. This awareness you gain, once you attain union with God through the Holy Eucharist.
***At Our Next Meeting with Christ (a Warning)***
Christ is our Savior and we know that he is most loving and merciful. But when you meet him next, he'll strictly be your Judge and you can't ask for mercy or forgiveness then anymore! So make sure now that you'll get the best welcome, not the worse rejection, of your entire existence at judgment time. Your judgment is as critical to you as your salvation.
****Christ the Right One*
Today I feel extra good that I have Christ the LORD to follow and treasure. He is so perfect for me that I know that without him, I would be absolutely lost, for he is the only truth out there!

*****Most Satisfying, Fulfilling Experience*****
At Mass this morning, I resolved to completely empty myself to let the Lord fill me with whatever he wished, knowing that he would always give me the best. And, of course, receiving the Holy Eucharist later was going to strengthen my union with him further. So this great opening up of the self leads to the most intimate possible bonding with God—there can't be anything more satisfying and fulfilling!

**Time to Say Goodbye
Communion experience. Once you have the Lord in you, you are ready to say goodbye to the world.
***Judgment Reveals We're Saved or Not*
If we take our salvation seriously, then we must take our judgment seriously too. In Matthew 7:21, Jesus says "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven." At judgment time, we find out if we are saved or not. So Christians must not slack off. Growing holier daily is the antidote to being influenced by Satan.
***Avoid Evil Totally
Today many politicians, church officials, and lay people are serving Satan and remain firmly so. You can say that they have already reached the point of no return, and if true, it'd be absolutely tragic. It's literally throwing your life away by ignoring God's infinite mercy. It's best that we remain firmly in the Lord so that evil won't be able to touch us. We should always turn away from evil, not because we are afraid of it, but because this is the smart way to ward it off.

****The One We Absolutely Need****
Today I see that the Lord God as the only one for me to depend upon, for he's not only trustworthy, but also will be around forever. Other good human beings I can depend upon, but their help is always limited and temporary. We need the God of Christ for us to exist on forever, and I rejoice that I have him!
***The Unavoidable Reality*
We are all on a oneway trip. Our destination will depend upon how we behave in this world. The Lord God sees the motivation behind everything we do, for we are completely exposed before him. If you think otherwise, then you're burying you head in the sand, looking foolish and pitiable.
**It's What God Thinks
Take someone who always gets to do what he wants to do. For example, he decides to befriend only those whom he likes and cut off anyone he dislikes. Now look at another person who has every intention to do God's will, but because his faith is still not that strong, he can't accomplish that every time. We could say that the first person is a success and second a failure, but I am sure that Lord God would think the very opposite.
