Christ is a real person. Because he is almighty, it is possible for us to attain the most intimate union with him. And following him becomes effortless and a joy. The Lord is to be experienced and enjoyed. The first requisite is that you be completely open to him; don't allow any uncertainty, doubt. or reservation to get in your way. It's total abandonment time—you make the plunge and never look back, and you'll be happy that you did it.

***Keeping Door to Heaven Open***
Communion experience. I wish to surrender myself to Christ totally, but there may still be rebellious streaks in me I am not even aware of. I ask the Lord to take them away too. Now the door to heaven is wide open for me.
*****Know the Situation We're In (Warning!)**
Today the Lord made me see clearly that in this universe that contains our earth, we are the only agitators rebelling against and betraying him, creating disorder and chaos in the process; while he is to be loved and obeyed with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind. Will we ever wake up to realize the pitiful state we're in? To sleep thru life is easy, but what we'll have to pay for that is too horrible to even think about!

***Church Losing Her Tradition***
It All began with Vatican II. Pray that the Lord will completely purify and restore his Holy Church.
***Recipe for Making Heaven Our Home
Acknowledge that God is our Father in heaven and we are his beloved children, then be genuinely childlike to him.
***Never Offend Christ the Lord!***
You may not believe in him yet, but you must never look down on him, hurt him in any way, or try to deceive him, for he is the Almighty God, infinitely superior than all of us in every way. Besides, he loves us with the greatest possible love and deserves all our love. Reject him and you doom yourself.

***What Should We Live For?***
It's a good question. I could think of many answers, but picking the best one might be tough. Then it dawned on me that in union with God, I already possess the Lord and there's really nothing else to live for!
***Heavenly Experience***
When you remain completely in the Lord, you are so impressed by what you feel and experience that you become totally unconcerned about your own existence. This is being set free, a heavenly experience!
***Right Way to Know God*
If you really want to know God, love him as much as possible, become holy, and live only for him, then seek to attain union with him through the Holy Eucharist first, and all that you desire will follow.

*****How Close Do You Follow Christ?*
Matthew 16:24, today's Communion antiphon: Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me, says the Lord. To all followers of Christ, on the list of all the people you follow, how do you rank him? First? Third? 10th? Last? Is he even on your list? You are a true follower only if your list has only his name on it!
***Greatest Human Tragedy**
The Lord God has spoken to us since the time of Adam and Eve, Then 2000 years ago, Christ came and lovingly revealed the whole truth to us. As always, many of us don't believe in the God of Christ as if he never even existed, Mind you, the truth remains true forever. As unbelievers, they remain lost.

**Incredible Exaltation**
Communion experience. The Lord made me from the dust; now he has made it possible for me to live forever in heaven. What a great exaltation!
***Salvation Secret*
We cannot save ourselves at all, but if we remain in Christ, he'll do all the work.
***Effective Preaching***
Christ is to be preached from the heart. Any message preached from the head always sounds cold and casual. Let the Holy Spirit set your heart on fire first, then your messages will exude both power and passion.
***Honing Our Obedience***
The word I heard from the Lord today was "obey." I do many things each day, never intending to hurt the Lord in any way, yet I sense that I don't always get the priorities right. For example, I like to watch the latest news a little bit on YouTube, then I end up watching some other interesting videos. As a result, blogging and doing other necessary chores get delayed. The Lord's voice is ever so gentle you can easily dismiss. Today I realized that I must obey all his small commands I hear. If he sees that we are trustworthy with all small commands, he knows that we'd be trustworthy with all his commends. In this way, we perfect our obedience.

Care only about what he cares about and let only what affects him affect you the same way.
