Mass is a celebration, so is the life of a Christian, for the Lord is our greatest joy. Also, how can you not celebrate when you know that you are heaven bound? A Christian not feeling any joy is not a bona fide one.

***To Be Blessed to the Max at Mass*
Before you go to Mass, make sure that you are in a state of grace, that is, you are clean. Then at Mass, completely empty yourself so that the Lord may fill you with all the graces he has for you. When you receive him in the Eucharist, surrender yourself completely to him once again to strengthen your union with him.

**Looking Beyond This Life
Picture life as a lit candle. As we age, that candle is slowly burning out. While we can see things immediate to us in that light, we fail to look for that what's beyond this life. The wise see the light of Christ and follow him. After the candle of this life burns out, they'll be lit by God's glorious light to shine forever.
**Unstoppable Journey*
Communion experience. The Lord entered me and I knew that he's going tp take care of everything for me. My journey to him may not be perfectly smooth the rest of the way, but nothing will be able to stop me from getting there, that's for sure.
***My Great Consolation:
knowing that I can fully trust in the Lord God who knows everything that's going on and about me
***God Is Sweet***
The response from Psalm 119 today: How sweet to my taste is your promise! Do you know that the Lord God is not only loving, merciful, and gracious, he is also most sweet to our soul? As a matter of fact, everything about him—his love, his forgiveness, his words, his teaching, his guidance, his protection . . . his every act—is sweet!
***Serect to Freedom
The more you let God love you, the more you fall in love with him and the freer you become.
***Why Care About Jesus Dying?***
Tuesday today, again it's the day to pray the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. These mysteries are more difficult for me to pray than all other ones simply because meditating upon the Passion of Christ is so poignant that it becomes unbearable easily. Why should God love me like this? I don't mind because deep down I know that I am a sinner who needs to be saved by him. Praise God!

***Letting Christ Touch Us
When we are sinful and Christ makes us clean again, we are overcome with joy. When we realize how much he loves us, we are moved to tears. These are watershed moments in the life of a Christian. The personal Lord is to be experienced! If you don't feel any joy, you can't be living an exciting spiritual life.
***Unbelievably Blessed Are We***
Although God is almighty and most exalted, he loves each of us to death. It's absolutely amazing that we should have such a personal Lord! Knowing this alone should lift us up with high spirits and make us feel elated every moment of our existence!
***Undeniable Endings for Us!***
We'll end up in union with or separation from God for all eternity. And that's how we'll also end up with anyone we love now. All the more we need to follow God's will to save as many souls as possible for both his and our sake.

*****Readiness for Receiving the Lord*****
Communion time thoughts. When we go forward to receive the Lord in the Holy Eucharist, we must be in a state of grace in order not to offend him. In fact, it should be as if we were going to receive our last judgment or final admission into heaven—it's that serious! (1 Corinthians 27: Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord.)

***What Matters the Most***
It you do not know Christ yet, it would be that you are still alive. For if you'd died, it's likely that you would've been a lost soul forever. If you are already a Christian following the Lord faithfully, then nothing matters to you anymore.
*****We Are Full of Hope***
The Lord God can make us holy and live on forever!
The Lord God can make us holy and live on forever!
The Lord God can make us holy and live on forever!
