Christ our God was truly at work in the Creation of the Universe, with the Father and the Holy Spirit. At every moment Christ is all-knowing, everywhere present, all-loving and all-holy. We live in His love.

When the bread and wine have been changed into the Sacred Body and Blood of Christ, He, the Lamb of God, our Saviour, is substantially Present: the Risen Christ, in the fire of His Divine Glory
The family which has a roof over its head and a table to eat at is well prepared for everyday life and education. Sound doctrine is like the roof and the table of our Christian life. Those who rely only on feelings and want to picnic all the time have no shelter for themselves or for others, when gales blow, and animals trample the food into the ground.
Christ in the Blessed Sacrament is the One who can fill the 'God-shaped' hollow in each human heart.
We hear about a 'God-shaped hollow' at the centre of the human heart. It is Christ in the Holy Eucharist Who is able to fill that space. Only He can give us what we need for true life and joy, here and in eternity.
Souls are powerfully helped by the prayers we offer with and through Christ at Mass. It's as if needy souls are 'carried' by the prayer of the Church, away from danger and distress.

Flames billow out from the front of the altar. The fire represents the holiness of Christ in His Divinity, in His Real Presence on the altar. We need to ensure that we approach with awe as well as love - with no 'clothing of sin' that might catch fire from that conflagration.
We can see Our Lady kneeling near the foot of the Cross, her son's head in her lap, His body spread before her, as she cradles Him. If we remain faithful we can hope to meet, one day, the Saviour Who rose to life again, and the Holy Mother who bore Him.
Christ descended a great distance to join us in our world, yet He had the joy of being with a Mother who, though not divine, was pure and holy. It was fitting that she was lifted, body and soul, out of our sinful world, when her work was done, so that she might 'rest' eternally with Him Who had 'rested' with her.
Whenever the Holy Sacrifice is offered from our altar, Christ Who is Present in sacramental form is praising the Father in the fiery love of the Holy Spirit. Christ is here, praying to the Father on our behalf.

Our Blessed Lady stood in the Lady Chapel, in glory, showing how she shares our joy on the feast of the Birth of her son, Our Lord. She played an important part in God's plan of salvation, and should have an important place in our lives and hearts, as our Mother.
There is a broad road to Hell, and a narrow ladder, it seemed, to Heaven. There were many more people in view, at one side, below Christ and His Saints. These Holy Souls were in shadow, in Purgatory - safe with God, yet not yet enjoying Heaven.
A person who shares God's very life, through Baptism, and lives in a state of grace, can be certain that when she prays to the Father in Christ's name, in the Spirit, He hears and answers. How can He fail to hear the prayer of His own Son? In sharing the life of the Divine Persons, we share in Their loving responses to one another in the Godhead: hence our prayers are granted.

Whoever faces Christ, and says sincerely: "I'll do whatever you want", has begun the self-giving way of life found in the utterly self-giving love of the heart of the Holy Trinity
God sees, in looking at each of His priests, a man configured to Christ by the sacrament of Orders: a man whose very being is now changed. Each priest should recognise the immense dignity of the state to which the Lord has raised him, and accept the honour paid to him by those who are grateful for his ministry.
