The Saints in Heaven venerate those who - although imperfect - live for Christ on earth.

Christ Hangs on the cross, in agony. This was the consummation of His earthly life, yet we demand glory.

God the Holy Trinity is enthroned in the soul of someone who permits Him to reign in every detail of life.

The interior world within the soul which we enter through prayer is greater than the physical universe in which we are temporarily confined.

Prayer is like a glimpse of eternity, seen from the battlements of our earthly dwelling, as we pause and turn to God. The Saints are very close to us, in their glory.

It is by living in charity in the present moment that the soul is most perfectly united to God, in its earthly life.

Though we might believe that we are serving God faithfully, we might rarely see any results from our acts of charity or self-giving - as if we were flying over a cloudy landscape with only an occasional glimpse of the fields below. Christ assures us, however, that all who remain faithful will one day see the great crowd of people whom they have helped by their penances, good works and intercessions.

Our 'yes' to Christ's action (in our soul and in our life) opens a door for His work and His Will to be accomplished, lavishly, in His Church.

By seeing our daily life, in God's light, we see the 'layers' of praise, work, resentments, unforgiven sins, unremedied wrongs - like taking samples of core from the ground.

Our life can be seen as a flat ribbon which passes near the dazzling 'sphere' of Divine Life. A point where ribbon touches sphere is found in Holy Mass.

One who 'touches' Christ at the 'intersection' of Divine and human life at Holy Mass, 'touches' Christ the infant, the crucified, the Risen Lord.

A 'Ribbon' representing our Life touches and enters the 'sphere' of the Godhead. Our entire life's value, purpose and outcome can only be seen clearly when seen "in God", either in prayer or after death. Outside God is darkness.

God gives clear 'sight', sometimes, in contemplation; while one who sees only from beneath the water of earthly life has only the 'sight' of faith.

There is nothing in one's life which cannot be seen more clearly, with marvellous results, when examined 'at the foot of the cross'.
