Our Blessed Lady is far above us in grace and holiness, but we must not be afraid to approach Her.

I saw that one single "Hail Mary", prayed for someone's welfare, brings instant refreshment, even if it be unrecognised.

As we prayed the Stations of the Cross, the very angels turned with us (to the first 'station'), thrilled to join in our worship and witness our devotion to Christ.

Our personal prayers and devotions, such as the Rosary, unite us to Heaven, and delight our Guardian Angel

When faithful people pray the Holy Rosary, Holy Angels surround them, and keep watch, in reverent silence.

When I ask for our Lady's help, she hears me. Christ's own Church blesses her titles, shrines and devotions. Here we honour her as Our Lady of Lourdes.

Christ is glorified by this miniature 'Calvary', as by any suitable model, image or statue for celebrating faith.

Christ taught me that by praying the Rosary, we climb a ladder to Heaven; each 'Hail Mary' is another rung.

Our Blessed Lady appeared in a Radiant Light, close by us, delighting in our devotion as we all prayed the rosary, in May.

By representations, in our sanctuaries, of Heavenly realities, people find it easier to pray: hearts and minds are raised to God.

The teachings of the Church should be followed by all Catholics; yet in the matter of personal devotions we can adopt a form of prayer or meditation that especially appeals to us, without having to adopt them all. A sensible person tasting a Chinese meal for the first time would try a little of most dishes, to see what suited them, without trying to consume everything.

We have a living relationship with the Saints who have died, so we should talk with them, ask for their prayers, treasure their feast days, honour them through their relics and shrines and statues, and follow their example.

We would be surprised if we could see how grateful the Saints and Angels are, when we greet and honour them in church.

Many people would rush to see Jesus, if He were to appear in the local high street. And no-one should condemn as 'over-pious' those Catholics who love to meet Jesus at the tabernacle, in extra visits to church.

We need a crucifix as a 'template' for our own lives - not to make us love pain or suffering, but so we'll imitate Christ in His patient acceptance of His Father's Will

The whole life of the Church follows in Christ's 'wake' as part of God's eternal plan: the Apostles and Saints, a visible Church, Catholic life and culture and devotions. All of this was in the mind of God.
