How many Catholics, in their day-to-day lives, turn to Him every day in prayer? And how many of them urge other people to turn to God to put their trust in Him? .

Only in Heaven is everybody perfect. When we look upon other people in earthly life who seem to be without faith or hope we must look with patience and kindness. Perhaps they need time, as they consider entrusting their lives to God.

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.

People who are trapped in their sins have no lasting happiness. Those who are enslaved by particular sins or bad habits have confined themselves to even greater isolation and futility. All need the 'outside help' which is God's grace, to achieve freedom and true joy.

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

Christ offers comfort to everyone; but if we refuse to draw close to Him we cannot receive his help

If we put our trust in Christ our Saviour, even in difficulties, it's as if we are speeding ahead on a clear road to holiness. If we try to do our own will, not God's, we are bound to make unwise decisions, steer badly, get into trouble, and even damage other lives.

The Lord grants the graces of repentance and conversion in different ways, to different souls. This is not only to assist different personalities, but also to show out His own power, His patience, His generosity, and His wisdom. We must persevere in prayer for others, even when there seems to be little hope.

God the Father looks on with infinite kindness whenever a person who has failed in virtue has then repented. It is just as when the father greeted his son with extravagant delight, in the Gospel story about the young man who wanted his inheritance.

The journey from life to death is like being on a cable-car between two mountains. Sometimes, mid-journey, we seem to be making little progress; but if we persevere in faith, we can trust that amazing things are happening, and that we are moving slowly towards our final destination with God.

Life is precious. God gives life to every human being; and we should respect every human being, at every stage of that person's existence - from conception until natural death.

To move carelessly into serious sin is to be in danger of being cut off from God forever. It's like when a diver in a flooded cave keeps moving into the next cave, without a guideline. Catholics are wise if they rely on sure doctrine and regular prayer.

Sometimes our trials do not go away quickly. We can picture ourselves as like a log, carried along by the current, even if it sometimes bumps into the river-bank, or seems to make little progress.

A person trapped in sinful ways needs help to change: even vigorous help, which he might not much like, though he has little strength of his own. He's as if in a desert, within sight of the 'oasis' of sanctity and peace. A good, brave person will vigorously help him to persevere on the path, even if receiving no thanks.

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.
