 Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my Trust in you is more than believing God is trust worthy. Trust involves turning back to God-repenting for our sins and forgiving others. Trust is a Living Faith... that means we agree to let God be God instead of telling God our will. It means we agree that God can write the script of our lives instead of insisting on our script. Agreeing with the great pledge in the Our Father... Your will not mine be done on earth as it is in heaven even in the moment of agony. Agreeing with the cry of Jesus in the garden. Not my will but Yours be done. 

 You are invited " Blessed are those who have been called to the feast of the Lamb" (Revelation 9:9). I am thrilled to be invited to the wedding feast of the king of kings who just wants me to show up to celebrate with Him, eat of the banquet He has prepared, and overwhelm me with His graces. The next time you find yourself bored at Mass... see yourself seated at the VIP table at the feast of the Son of God and it wasn't easy to get your name on the invitation list. It cost the Son His life just to put your name there. When you receive the Holy Eucharist do as Luke 21:28 says "Stand erect, raise your head because your redemption is at hand!" Lord thank you for giving your life to get me invited to your wedding feast. Amen

 To Push is-Pray Until Something Happens- don't stop cause something good will surely happen (mmmsy-May magandang mangyayari sayo our prayers aren't answered as we expect so where's the good that happened there? Where's the (mmmsy). Be reminded what prayer truly does. Prayer doesn't change God. It changes us. God knows what's best. You may not always understand or accept His best but what that prayer does is you. You are the one that happens. While you pray for what you want, you eventually surrender to faith what God has for you. And you learn to trust 'Mayroong magandang mangyayari sayo. Thank God for your unanswered prayers, trust God... and keep on praying. Help me Lord to never stop praying cause it's Your best way to change me and prepare me for the best.     When hardships come, do not wish for the old life to come back. Move on! Desire for God's Plan. 

 Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person can make you happy until you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you; it can only come from you. I wish you the true/deep Joy and Peace only from the Holy Spirit; not the superficial Happiness of things of this world. My concern is spreading the human touch of Christ's charity, the apostolate of true Friendship putting prayers into deeds, doing all things extraordinary well--perfected with extraordinary Love. Don't worry just Pray and be happy.  

 I've gone through many crises. Sustaining a healthy mindset is vital to survive. A healthy attitude to stay upbeat and avoid needless anxieties. To stay positive and resilient crisis will pass-nothing lasts forever. "It will never end" is not an objective perspective even the worst situation ends at some point. Let's be patient and ride the storm. We are all in the same storm. Tough times don't last. Tough People Do! Recall you too have had challenges before and you overcame them. Every crisis is different. But it doesn't mean this one will destroy you and knock you-out: unless you allow it. A setback doesn't close the door to having a comeback. This may be difficult and painful but it will pass. Situations in the past you successfully overcome is a reminder- you have the ability, tenacity and ingredients to rise above the situation. May this thought infuse you with confidence to take action. This one will pass- Times are tough and so are You! tough times...

 God likes to surprise us. He shows up in the most unexpected ways especially during challenging times. When we reach out to Him, He comes. So, be ready for what God has to offer. At times God seems silent. Do you reach out to Him? Maybe, He's just waiting for you. Lord, thank You for receiving me in times of trouble. How can I be help to you? 

 Success doesn't teach you much. Only failure teaches you. When you're successful you don't know why you are successful. When you're successful, you're complacent, not teachable, proud and hard headed. When you fail and hit your face to the ground. You're stunned, dazed with blood in your lips and massive pain in your knees. You're attentive, quiet, ask hard questions- Why did I fail? What can I do, so I won't fail again- learning lessons of victory and applying those lessons is when you succeed.
