God gave us life. In His sight, people who misuse or mistreat their bodies are behaving as strangely as people who might use electrical goods for unforeseen purposes: a fridge to store dirty pots, a metal-detector as a flail, a television set as a stool, or an electric drill as a dibber for bulbs!

Moses brings down the Tablets of the Ten Commandments

Moses brings down the Tablets of the Ten Commandments

It is essential that we put Christ at the centre of our lives. If we do not pray, do not listen to the Church, and do not obey God's laws as taught by the Church, we shall not be prepared for Heaven when the time comes to die.

A wise Catholic knows that all truths 'fit' together, as bricks into a wall. She does not try to fit odd stones into the wall - by writing or sharing dissenting teachings, or by contradicting God's laws.

At his death, a man was delivered to the demons, whose suggestions he had followed in earthly life - instead of following God's laws. They began to inflict on him those torments which he had inflicted upon his victims without mercy.

Just as the ancient people of God made an idol of a golden calf, so many people today make an idol of their private opinions, neglecting God's law, or they lack reverence in church, neglect prayer and penance, and disregard the duties of their state of life - loving their own will instead of the Will of God.

Husbands and wives who use contraception and so deliberately 'shut the door' to the gift of children, are also 'shutting the door' to God's light and graces, by their disobedience to His laws and to His plans for their marriage.

Just as a person who deliberately skates on thin ice is bound to fall through it, so people who willfully ignore God's laws risk falling and being lost.

Unjust rulers are those who fail to protect the weak, pass unjust laws, tolerate corruption, refuse to give up luxuries whilst their people starve, and stop legitimate protests.

Governments offend God when they fail to protect and help their people, or when they attack people making legitimate protests, or when they live in unbridled luxury while their people starve, or when they pass corrupt laws, or are unjust in the distribution of goods.

Those who have remained faithful to God, yet who need purification, enter Purgatory, from which they can 'ascend' to Heaven when they are ready. Yet Hell awaits those who have insisted, until they die, on ignoring God or rebelling against His laws in serious matters; who will find themselves separated from Him, in Hell, unable to escape.

Even when Catholics in England are looked upon as being different from 'ordinary' people, as the Amish are in the USA, we must still persevere in our faithfulness to the Church and God's laws.

How sad it is, in an earthly home, when a child disobeys, grumbles, shouts, stamps, sulks, and lacks gratitude. That it what it is like in the 'family' of the Church when members grumble about attending Mass, disobey God's laws, contradict Church teachings and gossip about the Clergy.
