***Thanks Be to the Perfect One

        Communion experience. Way back before I knew Christ, life felt like a big void. Today I know that Christ is the one to who has perfected my life and completed my existence.

***One We Need Now (Our Only Way Out)***

        Do you realize how much we need someone like Jesus now? The world is in total chaos and disorder The evil ones serve only themselves and want to enslave the rest of us. Clearly, we need to stop sinning and start loving. The only one who can change our ways is Jesus Christ, but we'll have to turn to him first! I pray that the world will wake up to the truth, for without Christ our Savior, we are doomed for sure. 

*****Smart Way of Reaching God*****

        If you are not progressing fast enough spiritually, that's because your are not reaching high enough. Christ is the highest point for us, so go straight to him for the speediest progress. In theory (truth), you can become a saint instantly if you abandon yourself to him all the way. The Lord can help you advance as far as you want effortlessly when you let him. All other approaches are time-wasting roundabout ways. I personally advocate that you take the direct, most proficient and expedient way of knowing Christ by seeking to attain union with him through the Holy Eucharist.

**Importance of a Sharp Conscience

        The more you know the Lord, the more you develop a sharp conscience, enabling you to distinguish right from wrong. Thus you'll be able to respond correctly in each situation. Pity the ones who have a muddy conscience and do not know peace.

**Soaring Feeling

        Communion experience. I felt as if my soul was soaring to the Lord.

***God to Be Explored!***

        The more you submit yourself to Christ, the more you'll be blessed and rewarded by him—there is no limit to how far you can go! So start exploring the infinite space of your Lord God.

***A Christian's Hope***

        A Christian is always full of hope, for he knows that the best is yet to come. And he also knows that he'll see greater things and the greatest at the end! 

***Unbeatable Feeling***

        Today is the Feast of Saint Bartholomew, Apostle. Jesus said of him as a true child of Israel in whom there was no duplicity (John 1: 47). I love the description "no duplicity." It means being truthful always. That way you are being genuine and have nothing to hide. As a result, you have peace, feel free with the Lord, and sleep well every night. Also, you are ready to be judged by him. A terrific feeling indeed! 

***Where My Heart Belongs*

        This morning at Mass, I truly felt that Jesus is the only one who can draw me away from anything else, no matter how pleasant or enjoyable it might be, for my heart is already his.  

**Live Your Best Life Please**

        There are many things in this world you can enjoy, but there are also many unpleasant problems you must deal with. For example, I now see water dripping down from a ceiling light fixture in my bathroom occasionally even when it's not raining. Figuring out the cause is not exactly fun. And of course there are many other more serious problems caused by sin to face. Currently, all social security number information of the entire population of this country got stolen and is being sold on the internet, and we are forced to freeze our credit for protection. In any case, this is not the kind of life you want to live forever. Fortunately, this life will end. So it would be extremely wise to accept Christ as your Savior now in order that your afterlife will be filled with nothing but joy. Yes, God intends that we enjoy him to the fullest!

*Regret upon Leaving the World

         I think mine will be having sinned against God and not loved him enough.

***God's Undeniable Existence (What We Need to Do)*

        The Lord God has done so many wonderful things as God, creation of the universe filled with infinite galaxies and our plant earth with plentiful things for us to live on and enjoy. We mustn't forget ourselves, marvelously created in every way. It is he who keeps us alive every moment. Last, never forget the sending of his own Son to us to free us from sin. The list of wonders is endless. His existence, power, and love are overwhelmingly present, yet many are blinded by pride and remain lost. It's so one-sided and unjust. This clearly reveals the existence of that underlying war between God and Satan with both aiming at capturing our souls. And we cannot afford sitting idly by without choosing sides and joining in the fight.

***Holy Greed*

        When God is blessing you directly or through someone like a priest, and you are completely open and receptive, nothing can stop that blessing from coming to you. Of course, yourself can ask God to bless you too. But in all cases, be sure that you are in a state of grace first. Then ask for all the blessings you want. that would glorify God. This will definitely heighten and excite you spiritual life.

**Best Place to Be In*

        Communion experience. To be in union with the Lord is better than being anywhere else. 

**Shocking Reality?

        Today's Gospel reading was the Parable of the Wedding Feast from Matthew 22. Jesus' conclusion after telling the parable was "Many are invited, but few are chosen." I show it in red because it's a pretty shocking statement. I've always prayed that God would save all souls. Perhaps now I should pray specifically that all those who are called would respond favorably and be chosen. 

**Defeating Our Biggest Enemy

        Sin is the biggest enemy of our life. As sinners, we struggle against it our whole life. Now, if you repent your sins to Christ and ask him to forgive you, he takes them all away and you are set free! Really, no problem is too big for him, our Lord and our God. So wise up please.

***Joy of Being New*

         Today's is the Memorial of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We celebrate New Year because it gives us hope that we'll have a better year. Anything new makes us feel good. Do you realize that when you yourself become new, it's even more exciting? Every time we receive the Lord in the Holy Eucharist, he heals our soul—it's like we have a brand new soul again. In today's Reading 1 from Ezekiel 36, we heard that the Lord could give us a new heart and place a new spirit within us. It has to be the best feeling when we have a new heart, a new soul, and a new spirit all at once. God can make all things new, so let him make us new too!

*****My Blunt Loving Warning*****

        I am coming right to the point. If you definitely believe that there is life after death, then live every moment for Christ now, for this will produce the happiest result! If you believe that there'll be nothing after you die, then by all means do whatever you want now and I guarantee that you'll have a miserable life in this world and a much worse one later for all eternity, mind you.
