I shall end my posting this month with this uplifting video. Fr. Corapi's message is alway to the point and refreshing! This is how Catholics should be fed so that they will know their faith and be inspired to spread the gospel. God bless Fr. Corapi.
The sharing of my spiritual thoughts and experiences

***Blessed Awareness
I look at my life and see clearly that the life I'll have after I leave this earth is really the important part of my existence, for it'll last forever. This awareness changes my outlook completely. I am now free from the world and want to remain in Christ only while I am still here.
***God Becomes Our Joy
The joy of reconciliation to God is an ongoing process. As your reconcile more, you grow closer to union with him. Now your joy intensifies too and can become overwhelming. You are never the same person again, for the Spirit has touched your soul deeply. The Lord now becomes your pure joy!
***One Greatest Joy***
This is the joy you experience when you reconcile yourself to God the Father. It's the joy of returning home to spend eternity in heaven with the One who loves you with the greatest possible love, a joy that's unspeakable and out of the world! Of course, if you remain aloof from God, you'll never experience this wonderful joy.
**Fear of God
If you sin against God and come to fear him, that is normal. But if I am already with God, to fear him does not really mean that I am scared of him. It now means that I must follow him faithfully and not sin anymore. If you call that a fear, then it's a healthy or holy fear.
***God's Amazing Love***
It is the most beautiful and powerful force in the whole universe. I know that if I could just feel it for one nanosecond, it would completely melt my heart and my soul.

***God's Love Cherished***
God's love is real and concrete. You can experience it, for God is love and he is real and concrete. The love of God is most sweet and powerful, able to transform our life and soul. It is his greatest gift to us and is to be praised with all our heart and soul.

***Great Expectations of the Lord
Communion experience. That the Lord should feed me with his own body and blood filled me with great confidence that he's going to continue perfecting me and answer all my prayers even more readily. God will always love us, but he can take us seriously only if we take him seriously.
****Is the Lord Your Lord?*
When you no longer judge anyone, you may call the Lord "Lord." Otherwise, you are being hypocritical.
***Preparation for Bearing Good Fruits
In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 7, Jesus told his disciples about false prophets, "Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. So by their fruits you will know them." How can we bear good fruits? First, let the Lord fill us with his love, then we become selfless and sin no more. Now we are ready.
***Security in Christ***
Elon Musk has been warning us of the danger of AI, artificial intelligence, for it can possibly destroy us in the future. I see that bad people would surely attempt to use it to control others in order to get their way. So bad days may be ahead. Then since I already belong to Christ, personally there is nothing to fear anymore, for no one can possibly take me away from the Lord.

**Helpful Gesture
Make the sign of the cross as often as you can. This will help you acknowledge God's holy presence at all times and do things in his name always.
**The Great Uplifting
Communion experience. The Lord lifted me to the highest possible level on earth.
***Important Reminder***
You can get in touch with God, our creator, our Lord, our loving Father, and our Savior, instantly at any anytime. If you haven't done that yet, then why not? Is it because deep down you know that you are a sinner, so you are afraid to face him? If so, that's good sign. He's actually calling you, letting you know that he can take away all your sins and even heal your soul! Not turning to him is choosing to be imprisoned by sin forever, not a smart thing to do, to say the least. Know that the God of Christ is the only one who can set us free for all eternity.
