By a sincere prayer for help, a person can receive from God enough grace to be able to turn round, move away from spiritual danger, and climb up high, to rejoin the narrow way that leads to light, which is life in Christ.

The covering and uncovering of the head is important to Bishops. In Christ's sight, likewise, the custom followed by millions of women is admirable, when they cover their hair, for public prayer, out of reverence and respect for God.

Christ loves to welcome His friends in Holy Communion. He especially delights in giving consolation and peace to those who are weary in His service, or enduring extraordinary trials for love of Him.

Where grace is accepted from Heaven, it overflows on earth. Christians should show, by their charity, what Christianity is like.

Those Christians who struggle to be Christ-like in difficult circumstances do well to 'look' at Christ's earthly life. The founder of Christianity lived in His own country as a man of peace; and he spent much of his time healing as well as preaching. His followers should be people of peace.

Sometimes, when we are tired, Christ calls us to rest, and 'helps us' to find that rest in our lives.

The Godhead is so holy and ineffable and glorious. The glory of the Godhead is like shards of glass or ice: piercing, powerful, and even painful for those unaccustomed to the light; and we can only enter it with and through Jesus Christ our Saviour and Mediator.

We should never doubt the love of Christ. He forgives all our sins and failings if we turn to him with trust and contrition.

Many of Christ's brave friends have suffered mockery, imprisonment and death, in order to remain faithful to the teachings of His Church, and out of love for Him.

Through Baptism, a person is brought into a special relationship with Christ. He becomes an adopted child of God, with a greater knowledge of God's wishes, greater confidence in prayer, and greater 'security', through being an heir to Heaven.

We distance ourselves from Christ by our carelessness and lukewarmness.

Christ is pleased whenever someone writes clearly about right and wrong in marriage. Few are willing to support and promote the Church's teaching about openness to life and the immorality of contraception.

Jesus said that it is a narrow gate that leads to life, and a hard road. Prayer is the gate. If we refuse to enter it, how can we ask for forgiveness, receive the sacraments, grow in the knowledge and love of God, receive His gifts in prayer, and follow the way to Heaven?

Whoever is willing to abandon prayer to attend to a needy neighbour is, as she reaches out to help, reaching out to Christ, who looks on with love and gratitude. The greatest love for God is shown in doing His Will, whether in prayer or service.

A person who, for love of God, loves and serves her neighbour, walks a hard road towards Heaven, with steep climbs; but as she arrives, it is Christ Himself Who will kneel, wash her feet, then put a white robe over her head, for the feast of Heaven.
