Communion experience. Christ the Perfect One, is the one who can make us perfect. When the Lord makes you clean and blameless, it's the best feeling you can have, proving to me that he is our Savior.

***God's Wonderful Gift for Us*
What we see or hear may not be the truth. Look at the scams and the fake news nowadays. Then you order something online and it turns out to be fake. You trust someone and get betrayed. As long as evil exists, you can easily get gypped Then there is Christ the Lord whom I don't see nor hear physically, yet I know him to be absolutely real and trustworthy. Faith, more dependable than physical experiences, is truly a wonderful gift from God.
**Getting the Priorities Straight*
We normally do what we need to do for survival and getting ahead in this world first, and do something for God only when there's some time left. This is all wrong if God is most important to us. In that case, we should do all things for his sake, that is, we should serve him in whatever we do.

***Awe-Inspiring Lord***
Communion experience. Receiving Christ in the Eucharist is receiving the King of kings and Lord of lords! Realizing this alone should make us want him to make us anew and holy.
**Christian Life Is a Celebration
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.
