Where is Everyone? Christ 'wonders', so to speak (though He knows everything) - Where are all those followers of His who profess to love Him? Yet many can't be bothered to meet Him at Mass, whilst others have not yet been told that He is Really, substantially Present here in the Blessed Sacrament.

From our sanctuary, at every Mass, Jesus Christ our Saviour offers the prayer He prayed for us during His Passion, as He died on Calvary: "Father, forgive them". And His Mother stands beside Him.

At every Mass we are present to the Sacrifice once offered on Calvary, when Christ suffered and died for us, as His Mother stood by Him. It's as if Calvary protrudes through the floor of our sanctuary, the Cross at the centre.

Showing Love for Christ: When we show love to Christ's 'little ones' we show love for Christ; yet Christ wants us to know that such service should not be a substitute for showing love directly to Him, in the Holy Eucharist. Every active person needs to find time for prayer and adoration.

God the Father is surrounded in Heaven by the Saints, who share His joy; so when we please Him by our love for Christ, our sincere prayer, our encouragement of others in faith, and our efforts to foster reverence in God's house, we give joy to the Saints.

The mother of a priest should recognise her part in the development of his vocation. First, she was grateful for the gift of a child, when so many mothers choose to refuse that gift and arranged for their tiny babies to be destroyed in the womb. And most mothers of priests have provided encouragement in the Catholic Faith, and an example of trust in God.

Even in the coldest, bleakest surroundings, no-one on earth, not even the poorest peasant in the most dingy hovel (Christ explained) has the right to end his own life or to ask someone to do it for him. If we accepted the power of God into our lives, the love given through Christ, we would look after one another.

Wherever people follow Christ, and try to do His Will, there are fewer sick people neglected, fewer orphans abandoned, fewer weak people pushed to the margins, and greater love shown to all women, children and men.

The sins and self-love shown in our world cover our world like an all-enveloping cloud. Wherever someone acts in pure charity, it's as if a gap is made in the cloud; and God's light can shine upon earth in a difficult situation, for needy people.

Whenever we intercede for someone, in Jesus' name, it's as though a ray of light and grace from Heaven pierces the dark 'cloud' of sin and self-love over our world, to touch the life of someone in need of help.

To receive Christ in Holy Communion but then to ignore His Presence is to be like a man who welcomes a visitor to his house, but then leaves the visitor in the hallway whilst he, the house-holder, goes off to amuse himself in the living-room.

A person who receives Jesus Christ in Holy Communion but then scarcely talks to Him in prayer is like a man who welcomes a visitor then leaves Him in the hall-way whilst himself going off to watch television. That is to offer only a lukewarm welcome.

Christ said to me, about the Tridentine Mass: "It is My wish that the Ancient Rite be restored, and thus help restore reverence all over the earth".

The Lord showed me little 'fires' of love for God, burning all over the world, especially wherever people praised God through Christ at Mass, with reverence, and particularly through the 'Ancient Rite'.

Christ pointed out the truth that, by my decision to enter into full Communion as a Catholic, I risked pain and persecution, for love of Him - just like many of His followers in His earthly life-time, and every era.

An astronaut who looks back towards the earth he has left can see things in their correct perspective, seeing what was important for the flight and what caused needless worry. We ought to examine our lives, to see what is essential, as we prepare for eternal life, and what is distracting or even dangerous.
