We came into the world, not knowing a thing. Then under the influence of the society we live in, we grow up and mature. Soon we learn to live a life aimed at making ourselves happy only. Christ our Savior came, knowing that we sinners need salvation, but we think we know better and ignore him. Today many even openly mock and blaspheme him. What a dumb generation! To reject you creator and Savior and destroy yourselves in the end—I can't think of another act this foolish!

***Unlimited Joy*
This is the joy of realizing that Christ the Lord is exactly the one who can make us feel joyful, satisfied, and fulfilled forever. It is a joy that can only increase and never wanes, for he is infinite and everlasting.
***Connected with God***
I believe you've all familiar with Michelangelo's powerful painting "The Creation of Adam," showing how God is about to touch Adam's hand with his forefinger to give him life? I personally feel that when we attain union with the Lord thru the Eucharist, we become connected with him like a lightening rod receiving power from him. The Lord now works thru us! This truly makes living for and in him exiting!
****Avoid Hell like Hell****
Dear Friends, I've been warning all about the horror of hell and our absolute need to follow Jesus so that we may go to heaven for sure. The Church has been lax in telling us specifically how to avoid hell, so I am posting some videos for you to watch and become aware of your true spiritual state:

*****TAKE JESUS SERIOUSLY . . .*****
because I don't want anyone to end up in hell. I have caught a bad cold, so I haven't attended Mass the last few days. I pray that I'll be well before Easter Sunday. My worst symptom is a bad intermittent cough. Once I start coughing, it's hard to stop. After a while, the chest and the temples start to hurt. Today even the two sides of my neck blow the ears feel it. I started thinking about the horrible suffering of those souls in hell. Even if I were to suffer one tenth of what I am feeling now for all eternity, that would be absolutely unbearable! So again, avoid hell at all costs! It so happened that I came across these two short videos that are relevant. I think you would enjoy watching them.
***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.
