***Freedom & Peace Formula
Since God loves us, he wants to save us from sin—so we should serve him by remaining holy and doing good for his sake. This is my big realization today. It is the secret of attaining freedom and peace.

***Foolish Self-Condemnation***
John 3:16—For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. God has made it easy for us: we only need to believe in Jesus his Son. Yet so many people with hardened hearts just don't get it. How sad it is to choose getting themselves condemned for all eternity! It's time to wake up when there's still some time left. At the final judgment, it will be the separation between the wise and the foolish.
***Never Question God
Of course, we can ask God honest questions. "Never question God" simply means that if we believe in him, we just trust in him completely and obey him in all things. With the LORD, it must be all or nothing! This perfect relationship perfects our existence for now and all eternity, and will bring us joy beyond our wildest dreams!

****GOD Most Trustworthy****
Newton's 3rd law of motion: To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. I can confidently state that "To every obedient act we make to the Lord GOD, he will reword us commensurately." Nothing can escape his notice. The is precisely why we should trust in our GOD completely.
***Being Spiritually Ready?
There is a time for us to leave thIs world. When we physically start to weaken, we know the time is near. The important question is whether we'll be ready spiritually. For the Christian, all he needs to do is to love the Lord. This is accomplished by obeying him in all things. If you were wise, you'd want to get yourself ready early when you still have time. Once your time is gone, it's gone forever, for in the next life, everything becomes eternal!

****Assured Salvation****
Today's first reading comes from Jeremiah 20. The prophet wrote, "I hear the whisperings of many: 'Terror on every side! Denounce! let us denounce him!' All those who were my friends are on the watch for any misstep of mine. 'Perhaps he will be trapped; then we can prevail, and take our vengeance on him.' But the LORD is with me, like a mighty champion: my persecutors will stumble, they will not triumph. In their failure they will be put to utter shame, to lasting, unforgettable confusion." I cannot speak for everyone, but personally I know that if we stick with Christ, then no matter how much people denounce, attack, or persecute us, we will come through unscathed in the end. This is assured for all who belong to the Lord.

**Be Free from the World
On earth, we seem to think continuously about worldly things. Then we realize that when we leave this earth, we just have to drop them all. So the time to get ourselves detached from this world to facilitate our unavoidable departure as much as possible is now. Again, the best way is to achieve union with God through the Holy Eucharist. Once we belong to the Lord, we are automatically set free from the world.
***Unimaginable Inheritance
Today's entrance antiphon, Hebrews 9:15—Christ is mediator of a New Covenant, so that by means of his death, those who are called may receive the promise of an eternal inheritance. On earth, when we inherit something from our parents or an ancestor, it is usually beneficial to us in some way. Now, we who have been called by God will receive our inheritance from the heavenly Father, imagine how much that would benefit us—it would surely be unimaginable! This is what we, his faithful children, have to look forward to.

***Only One True God***
Have you ever wondered how God knows that you are praying to him and not to some other being when you pray to him? Well, there is only one true God, the God of Christ, who created us in his image. Thus, he is the only one who knows our thoughts and can decipher our hearts; and our conscience is completely exposed to him. So when you pray to him, he knows exactly that you are seeking him. Whereas when you pray to some false god, he wouldn't even hear you. Even if he did, he wouldn't know if you're speaking the truth to him or not, ha ha.
***Vast Difference*
I have a relative who has no religious faith of any kind. She has gone through two failed marriages and is now living and working alone to sustain herself. Although I've shared my Christian faith with her, she's just not ready to take it seriously yet. What I want to say is that anyone going through life without Christ is ultimately leading an empty existence. Essentially, we have a lost soul drifting aimlessly through life. With Christ, you get rock solid guidance and support, and know exactly where you're going. The difference is night and day.

****Greatest Possible Exaltation
Communion experience. By humbly surrendering yourself to the Lord and letting him enter you, he greatly exalts you to his level.
***Purpose of This Blog***
It is to let the world know that the Lord wishes to draw all to union with him through the Holy Eucharist. By abandoning yourself in him and attaining union, you get to experience freedom, peace, and joy. You now belong to him and nothing can separate you from his love for you anymore. He has exalted you to the highest plane of existence and you are now heaven bound.

****Be Merciful like God****
Today's Gospel reading from John 8 tells the story of the woman caught in adultery. To test Jesus, the scribes and the Pharisees said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?'' He said to them, "Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.'' In response, they went away one by one. This is such a good answer for us to keep in mind: Do not ever condemn anyone unless you are sinless! (This is why judging is a sin.) We know that only God is holy and perfect, yet even he, being merciful, does not ever wish to condemn us. To be like him, we must be merciful like him.
