Every person on earth will one day arrive either in Heaven (perhaps through Purgatory) or Hell. It is our urgent duty to work for the salvation of souls.
Christ revealed Himself at the Consecration. He stood before the altar, in glory, His arms outstretched in greeting, as He assured me that these particular difficulties will soon be overcome.
Personal prayer, in our 'secret room', is never made alone; through Christ we are present with the whole company of Heaven

By the mercy of God, the souls in Purgatory can bewail their pride, or greed, or lukewarm belief, or whatever has caused them, though believers, to be ill-prepared for death.
A person who lives in selfish isolation, with a cold-hearted stance towards others, nevertheless benefits from the kind acts by which others reach out in charity. Kind people with the 'fuel' or 'fire' of love, help to keep that soul alive in his self-chosen winter.
God receives the greatest honour when the priest's supreme desire at Mass is to give glory to Him through a reverent offering of the Holy Sacrifice. A good priest also wishes to edify the congregation, but he recognises that the Mass is God's act: infinitely powerful and effective no matter how well or badly the participants prepare and take part.
The evil one is at work, doing all he can to frighten, pursue or devour those who desire to love God and to do good. Whoever tries to do God's will is sure to be attacked. We must all pray for one another to the Lord.

There are important truths to be believed by all who profess to be practicing Christians: that God-made-man, Jesus, lived among us, in history; that He spoke with authority as well as love; that by His Resurrection from the dead He proved His claim that 'The Father and I are one'
In faith we can see a blazing light, high up in church above the sanctuary. There, in heaven, the Father sits in glory, a papal crown upon His head, as He gazes upon everyone below who praises Him through Jesus Christ at Mass.
Through the one Sacrifice of Christ, re-presented at every Mass, we are united with the Heavenly Court and the souls of Purgatory
Each of us must 'climb' to Heaven in faith, hope and love, if we wish to reach glory, and avoid the smoke of Hell which lies below. With humility we can hope to persevere to the end, and to avoid lukewarmness, despair or self-satisfaction.
As well as ensuring reverent, beautiful worship of God, Christianity, properly practiced, makes society flower, with mutual help, care for the needy, beauty, joy, human advancement and freedom.
The Heart of Jesus Christ our Saviour is so vast that it contains the whole universe, our world, and everyone on it. He loves every person with a deep, fervent and tender love. He prays for each of us today with as much fervour and power as when He prayed on the Cross.

By it's very nature, love is fruitful and generous; and so the Lord invites all married people to understand that the moral teachings of the Church are true. Whoever uses contraception, even in difficult circumstances, is acting against God's wishes, and no longer shines with the radiance that comes from the Holy Spirit.
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.
