From the tabernacle, Christ looks on in sadness, as He sees His holy 'house of prayer' treated as a market-place.

God loves, as His Creation, the whole of the natural world: bright oceans teaming with life, with whales' waterspouts, and waves glinting in the sunlight, as shoals of fish circle underwater. Flocks of birds soar through the bright sky in the sweet, breezy air, and His glory shines over all. God delights in our love for Him even more than He delights in His Creation.

A screaming child, incoherent with anger, needs to be left to realise his need of help, and to admit his foolishness. Our wise God gives rebellious adults opportunities for reflection. He does not force us to do His Will. He even allows us, if we insist, to separate ourselves from Him eternally.

It is the Holy Spirit Who is at work in every prayer we offer, and at work to effect the change which takes place at the Consecration, when the bread and wine became the Sacred Body and Blood of Christ. A dove is a symbol of purity and holiness, pictured here behind the altar, as the Spirit is at work in His Divine power, to give us the Sacrament of our Salvation.

Like poor beggars, we need the help of Christ, who pleads to the Father on our behalf, whenever we pray in His name

Christ counts as done to Himself the good or evil that we do to others. He counts as done to Himself whatever insult, blow, ill-humour, or lack of reverence is directed to those 'other Christs', our priests, whom Christ has chosen to lead and serve us.

After reflecting on my day I can 'strain' out faults and failings, by contrition, as I once 'sieved out' stones from a flowerbed.

Whoever is willing to accept unavoidable humiliations in patience makes a 'space' amongst the crowd, so that God's grace can flow down to bathe and refresh and transform many more persons.

Whoever recites a prayer with reverence and love is like a child who brings a pretty leaf to her grandfather in trust and delight.

In turning to the Risen Christ who is with the Father in Heaven, I find in Christ all the saving events of His life which are the reason for my hope.

By unhesitating obedience to Christ's wishes, we fulfil His plans for our lives as surely as when a child on an ice rink obeys the instructor's commands, then skates immediately with greater beauty, skill and power. We do not understand everything, but Christ is a trustworthy instructor.

It is the Holy Spirit who holds up - as if by the power of His outstretched wings - a person who suffers in union with Christ. In our sufferings, however, we cannot always see the glory of the Divine Spirit.

Those who refuse to follow the safe way into Heaven will eventually languish, far from Heaven's light, in the depths of the dark Abyss - by their own free, tragic choice.
