**Most Beautiul Secret

        Communion experience. I am still awed by the fact Christ transforms the consecrated bread and wine into his own body an blood for us to consume, and that he also takes away our sins! He is my most beautiful secret!

***A Truth

         Mercy and peace can only come from the God of Christ.

**Do You Know That . . .

everything is possible if you allow God to do it?        

***Extolling Union with God

        Union with God thru the Eucharist is the best possible relationship you can have with the Lord because as one, no barriers of any kind exist between you and the Lord. There is now total harmony, understanding, and mutual trust. The Lord is now your most beloved lord, friend, and soulmate. 

***Joy and Sorrow par Excellence

         A Christian has the best joys and sorrows of all people! They are blessed and fortify his union with the Lord.

*****True Freedom Is . . .

being able to love God as much as possible. And the exhilaration stems from the fact that there is no limit to how much you can love the infinite Lord!

*****GREAT COMBINATION!

        Follow Christ, not only because he'll lead you to eternal life, but because he is the only one who is true God and pure love! 

**Humble and Proud Simultaneously

        We who belong to Christ are temples of the Holy Spirit, dwellings of the Lord, that is. I am both humbled by and at the same time proud of it. The Lord's doing is always wonderful beyond words!

**The Lord More than Enough

        Communion experience. My cup overflows. The Lord completely fulfills me; there's nothing more I desire.

**Thanking God for This Reason

         Today I am grateful to the Lord for having made it possible for me to become like him. 

***Way to Happiness***

        Here is not something I've just made up. I know it to be true because the Lord has revealed it to me. As always, the truth challenges us and may not even sound credible upon first hearing it. Here it is: We won't be happy until we serve God with all our heart.

**Living in False Reality

        This is the reality I see so clearly. We were created by God and have inherited the original sin. Now we are just passing through on earth. If we believe in and follow Christ, we'll have eternal life in heaven. So to me, those who do not see this is living in a false reality. By this I mean it's real, but not what they thing it is.

**Order of Business

        God hears us and will grant us what we ask for if we openly abandon ourselves to him. Asking for his help when we are not really ready to accept all his will yet won't work well. So the first order of business is to surrender your will to his, then ask for what you need to your heart's content. 

****Our Forever Relationship

        What I like about my relationship will God is that it's for ever. The Lord is the only one who can provide that, for he is most faithful and lives forever. We can never be happy with anyone, even if he's most trustworthy, who won't be around long. From God our Father, we'll always receive the very best for all eternity!

***Look Good to God Please***

        Many people do not watch what they eat nor exercise enough. So as they grow old, they look very much out of shape. It's rather sad. I thought that in spiritual life, this is like you don't believe in God nor pray. You just grow old and die. This definitely is not the way I want to go. The soul is infinitely more important than the physical body. We must absolutely take care of that ahead of anything else! It's fixing your eternity, not just next week, next year, or the next million years! So be wise and remain awake. You don't want to look bad before the Lord, disappointing and saddening him, not to mention your own plight!

***Key to Peace Everywhere***

        God loves and died for all of us. We must love others like that too. Hatred, contempt, and unforgiveness must have no place in our hearts. Amazingly, this is how we can attain inner peace as well as external peace in the world!

***Still Hard to Believe***

        Communion experience. Even after I have received the Holy Eucharist thousands of times, I am still overwhelmed by the fact that the Lord has allowed me to receive his own body and blood! I'll be grateful to him forever!

*****Process of Abandonment*

        It is hard to give ourselves up to the Lord God. Even if you are determined, it can still take some time. The Holy Eucharist can greatly aid us here. The important thing is to get started. First you open up to God and you start to experience some wonder. Opening up more, you experience more wonders along with more freedom and peace. As you let the Lord do even more for you, the going gets easier and easier. Finally, you abandon yourself totally in him and he makes everything effortless for you! Now you are completely free, experiencing unspeakable joy.
