By our smallest act of repentance and humility, God causes our understanding to be enlarged, like a growing circle of light.

Christ is our guide, who both shields us at present from Heaven's dazzling light, prepares us for glory.

All good things and all gifts and knowledge in prayer come to us through Christ.

All good things come to us through Christ. Christ is our true light. In Him is all wisdom and knowledge.

I saw a great diamond, representing Wisdom. Different 'aspects' of God were reflected in each facet of the diamond.

I was given a glimpse, by knowledge, of the depths of the Holy Trinity.

Everyone on earth can choose to call out for God's help, hoping to be heard. Yet those who have been baptised into Christ, made adopted children of God, living in His light, can speak with God as with a friend, and have a sure hope of Heaven, if faithful to the end. Christ's Spirit, living in souls, gives knowledge of God, intimacy, and hope, and is a lamp for the Way.

On the day of my reception into the Catholic Church, there was just the sudden knowledge of Mary's presence there; she was not a legend, but a flesh-and-blood person.

The Glory of the Holy Trinity

Christ sees how difficult it can be, to find good catechesis for an enquirer, at a time when many dissenters in the Church offer their own versions of the Catholic Faith. Christ wants the faithful to be comforted by the knowledge that no version of the faith is complete if it does not draw proper attention to the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist, and the Papacy. These are at the heart of the true Faith.

By the Father's will, foreknowledge, plan, consent and justice, Christ suffered and died, and leaped up to His Father, drawing us in His wake.

We should trust in God's love from one day to the next. There are people who are not content to walk the safe, narrow way marked out by Jesus Christ for all who would follow Him to Heaven. Some people insist on making extraordinary efforts to try to see the way ahead, or foretell the future, or to find a different path to Heaven - as if trying to climb a ladder, to reach above the cloud which represents the limitations of our human existence and knowledge.

God sometimes calls us to prayer, and we are held up by Christ above the cloud of earthly thought, and near the 'source', the Father.

God's love for us is like a vast body of water, hidden because of our frailty; the sight of His love might crush us.

As a child might see the point of the teacher's many instructions only later on, as he paints the details of each letter in a huge word, so we who fulfil God's Will can hope for eventual understanding and glory.

The wall of sin, which separates us from God, is scaled only by Christ, Who stands with His mother. He alone can help us to reach the Glory of Heaven

The Heavenly friends whose lives we acknowledge in the creed, are gathered about us. We are one family.

Someone who does great work for God can be held 'upright' in humility by two guy ropes: the knowledge of his sinfulness and of God's holiness.
