Many Catholics today, who do not believe in all the teachings of the Church, paint a caricature of the era before the Last Council. They say that the laity did nothing but 'pay, pray and obey', but seem unaware of how much Christ admires people who lead prayerful, humble and obedient lives, in any age.

If we were to search round the whole world, we could find no greater honour being conferred upon a man than the gift of the Ministerial Priesthood. He is chosen to represent Christ our God, Who came to earth to save us, and Who is even now with us in the Blessed Sacrament.

All of those little children who have died and who were free from personal sin - whether they were miscarried, aborted, delivered alive but then soon died, or lived severely handicapped and incapable of choice - are now happy. They are at peace, close to the Father's heart, without any pain.

Behind the laws of the universe, and the orderly instincts by which creatures are guided to nest, mate and rear their young, we can discern the great Mind which is wise and powerful enough - since it is God's mind - to guide and help every human being.

No-one should despair about the evils of our age. In every age - as in ancient Rome and Nazi Germany - there have been great temptations to do wrong. Yet there is good too in every age - including our own; when, for example, good things as well as evil are sent right round the world on the internet. People far away hear about Christ.

No matter how much confusion or uncertainty we experience - even in sickness or danger - there is one, living God in control of the Universe, in Whose care we live. Whether we live or die, we live and die at times appointed by Him, even when we object.

Christ wishes that more Catholics would be concerned about His honour, and would treat His 'house of prayer' as a holy place, and not as a market-place or a pub, with loud chatter and little prayer.

Wherever there is a Catholic church, with the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle, it is as if there is a stairway that connects that 'house of God' with Heaven. Jesus, Who is God and man, is substantially Present in the Mass, and remains with us in the tabernacle.

A person in turmoil is wise if he turns to the Father in Heaven, and believes in his love. If he prays, he will be led to the right Way; and if he follows it, though it takes him through dark times, he will be moving towards the light of Heaven with a new hope in his heart.

Whoever praises God for the grass and the sunlight, the raindrops and the dew, should know that all the beauty of nature has been prepared by God for our delight, and our use. By His deliberate plan, He made a world for us, where we can find life sustained, and our hearts touched by so much loveliness.

To be in the Presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament is to be in the Presence of God: to be with our Saviour now, as the Apostles were with Him in Galilee or Jerusalem. Though He is 'hidden', he deserves adoration and reverence in traditional ways. It is not appropriate to arrange rock music, or half-naked dancing girls.

There is no religion quite like the Christian religion. Though good people everywhere have sought to know about God, and to praise Him, Christians have learned about God from those who have heard Him speaking to them in person: those who heard Jesus Christ, God-made-man, offer forgiveness and Eternal Life.

The Lord spoke to me about a wedding, saying: "Spend whatever you like. It is a celebration!" He said that the Church endorses the good human instinct to have special clothing, and beautiful surroundings, for special occasions, for anniversaries too, and feast days. The Lord Himself asked for beauty to surround the Ark in the Tabernacle, in the ddesert, and in the Temple.

What is Man? He is a living creature, of soul and body, created by God to a particular design and for particular purposes. Whoever misuses his body goes against God's plan, and against his own nature.

Christ sees it as tragic that the loudest voices in the Church today are often those of dissenters, who sometimes mock Christ's 'little ones' as 'fundamentalist' or old-fashioned, and are shameless about disturbing their prayers.

Christ revealed Himself to me as Really Present in Westminster Cathedral, in all His glory, just as in my parish church at home.

Christ said to me: "I speak all languages". He meant that no-one need feel distant from Christ through not knowing the language or culture of Jesus Christ's earthly life. Whoever does the Will of the Father in Heaven is a brother, sister, mother or father to Christ.
