"Be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:48)

***Awakening for All Catholics***

        The Catholic Church has received the whole truth through Christ, who declared that the gates of the netherworld should not prevail against her. While the final victory over evil is assured, for the time being, Satan has infiltrated the Church, causing apostasy from the top, disunity among the clergy, and scandals within her walls. The priesthood and marriage are his prime targets. These events were prophesied by the Blessed Mother throughout the last century (at Fatima, Garabandal, Akita, and Civitavecchia).As a result, the teachings and messages we receive today are often weak, confusing, or even unholy. All the more, we need to seek refuge in and guidance from the Lord himself.

***Two Significant Statements*****

        Today is the Feast of Saint Mark, evangelist. In the Gospel reading from Mark 16, Jesus appeared to the Eleven and said to them: "Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned." Both statements are significant. The first is a direct command, while the second is indirect, warning of the severe consequences of not believing in him. 

**For the Rich to Enter Heaven*

        In Matthew 19, Jesus said to his disciples, "Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." We must understand that a typical rich person lives mostly for his own well-being and cares less about the welfare of others, making him self-centered or even self-serving. This is the problem. So if you are rich but detached from all your possessions and care about those in need, you should be okay.

**Better Pursuit*

        While we all seek physical comfort, pursuing spiritual consolation offers far greater, higher-level rewards.

**Great Feeling**

        Communion experience. I know that the Lord loves me and has chosen me. It's impossible not to rejoice in him! 

*****Greatest Division (a WARNING)*****

       A great division exists between those who are with Christ and those who are not. After death, this becomes an unbridgeable chasm, as far apart as heaven and hell. If you remain united with Christ now, you will have nothing to worry about!

**What Judging Is**

        Telling others they are offending the Lord and in the wrong is not judging, as it is done out of pure love. Judging is criticizing others without pity. Jesus points out our faults so that we may be saved; he feels sorrow for us, but never condemns us as long as there is still a chance for us to turn around.

***True Flesh, True Blood***

        In today's Gospel reading from John 6, Jesus said to the Jews, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my Flesh is true food, and my Blood is true drink. Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood remains in me and I in him. . . . This is the bread that came down from heaven." After hearing this, it is impossible to believe that the Lord meant his words symbolically.

**"Here I Am"**

        In Scripture, we often come across this response when someone realizes the Lord is calling them. This shows you are ready to follow whatever he asks you to do. It is a response that pleases him greatly—and should please you, too. To be called by the Lord is a great honor, for he calls only those he wishes to exalt.

**A Day in Heaven**

        Any day you allow the Lord to lead you is a day in heaven.

**Beginning Anew**

        Before Mass began this morning, I emptied myself entirely, allowing the Holy Spirit to fill me and make me anew. This clean sweep solidifies my union with the Beloved Lord.

***What We Must Secure First***

        Earlier today, I met someone I felt sorry for; there are people like that all around us. She seems very nice and friendly, but she isn't trying to live a holy life and shows no interest in anything beyond this world. I feel for her because she hasn't secured her soul yet. In life, we might miss out on many earthly comforts, but I am talking about missing the opportunity to be free and happy for all eternity! For now, I can only pray for such souls and share the gospel with them when I have the chance.

***Mary's Prophecy***

        This message has been around and good for all Catholics to know: https://youtube.com/shorts/j8nuJbIW0nw?si=yzdeR25zCIGOy2qZ         

***Reason for My Joy***

        Communion experience. I am still on earth bodily, but my soul is already resting securely in Jesus' holy hands! That explains my constant joy in hm.

***WISE ADVICE***

        In heaven, time stands still, and you remain holy, happy, and unchanged forever. On earth, time passes irreversibly. Therefore, it's wise to latch onto Christ before your time runs out.

***Do You Know That . . .

 when you are aware of the holy presence of the Lord God, your ego vanishes?    

***Do You Realize?***

        Christ took on the greatest sorrow so that we may experience the greatest joy. He died for us so that we may live forever!

***You Are Egoless If . . .

 you aim to please God alone.
