A person who prays to God with a sincere heart, offering Christ's prayer and Christ's saving work, is making his own Christ's love and Sacrifice; and thus he 'inserts' himself into the life of the Holy Trinity, as a diver enters an ever-flowing and powerful river.

Every time we choose to do God's Will and not our own, we are like someone who removes the threads which still cling to Him, when he has bravely 'parachuted' into a life of grace.

When I praised God for the beauty of the trees at the entrance to the village, and for the evening sky, I heard Him say: 'This is my gift to you.' He added: all true beauty has its source in Him. All good things we enjoy in accordance with His Will are part of His Providential plan for our delight.

The Holy Angels guard the Church, always; they are all reverent, amidst those who carelessly disturb them with loud chatter.

Someone who holds firmly to untruth is in danger of the 'poison' escaping and contaminating every other thought - as when a leaking jar ruins a store-cupboard.

Where a married couple really love one another, and love God, they want to do His Will. He wants them to be faithful to one another, and to refuse to use sinful means of seeking pleasure or avoiding conception. They can be sure, by their faithfulness to God's Will (even if this means abstinence, pain or heartache) that they offer an unmarred expression of love to their Creator and also to one another.

Whoever trusts in God can 'see' himself not as drowning in God's holiness, rather as being carried on an ocean of compassion.

Whoever wishes to do God's work, unhampered, can imitate the sportsmen who cast aside all that is unnecessary as they approach the arena.

Wherever there are souls who are 'lit' by Christ's life and aflame with praise, it is as if God sees lights shining like diamonds across the earth.

People who die whilst praying (like those who died praying the Rosary on the Titanic) are marching along a road which seems to lead to darkness; yet it's as if, by their prayer, each person carries a flaming torch on high which lights up the sure way to Heaven - even if the Way leads first through the Ocean.

It pleased Jesus to bring His Mother Mary to be with Him in the Lady Chapel, and to show me what I believe: that they are real people who love me and are touched by my humble and grateful prayers.

However important the good work we do, we should never neglect our own family

Whoever praises God with sincerity, conviction and gladness soars high in prayer, confident of being 'held'.

Christ sees our behaviour in church - some bad behaviour due to ignorance, some due to carelessness or lack of love for Him. He does not take offense. He loves us all dearly. Yet when He sees how some people treat His house of prayer, and His Presence, it's as if He is on the Cross, being struck by His enemies.
