At the Consecration at Mass, at Blackfriars in Oxford, I saw Christ standing behind the altar, with the Dominican priests who were concelebrating. His glory shone all around, as I praised Him for His Real Presence and His love.

There are times when we can avoid trouble and difficulty, and confront injustice; but there are other times when it is useless to protest, and we do best to imitate Jesus in His acceptance of His Father's plan, in total trust and surrender, confident the God can bring good out of evil.

The Lord Showed me a person with a little pebble in her hand, which represented the pure charity which she demonstrates for everyone. Then he showed me a gigantic, rocky cliff-face next to that person. And the cliff represented more than millions of pebbles, which is the infinate charity of God. In this life, we can always grow more loving.

Our Blessed Lady had to cope with the apparent burial of all her hopes, as her beloved son was placed in the tomb. But we, like her, must trust in God's promises, that good will eventually, definitively, defeat evil.

Someone who follows a humble, quiet, persevering way of prayer and faithfulness to God, is on the Way to Heaven, just as a man on a straight, well-lit motorway is making a safe journey to the city; unlike those who choose to struggle on foot, picking their own route across country, and encountering rabbit-holes, barbed wire and wild animals.

It is as though Heaven has descended as far as a church sanctuary. We are united in praise with Christ, in our midst, and with the Saints. This is a living memorial of Christ's death: yet the Risen Christ is with us, praising the Father Who sent Him to be our Saviour.

Christ is a true friend and companion to those who believe in Him and love Him.

People have many ideas about God, but only Jesus - like a window onto Heaven - gives us direct access to God the Father

We are right to unite ourselves with Christ's self-offering in the Mass, but we give God the Father further glory if we pause in private prayer, throughout the day, to renew our self-offering. In that way we honour God and draw grace upon ourselves and the Church, and we can be certain that Christ is with us at every step of the way.

There is a place not far from Heaven, called Purgatory, where people arrive to prepare for Heaven. It is as if they finally take off their dirty rags, and are re-clothed like royalty; then they process to their seats, wearing crowns, to join the Saints above - through the love and mercy of God Who rewards all who die in a state of grace.

Christ reaches out to embrace us in just the manner shown out in many Christian images.

Jesus Christ is revealed to us through His holy Word, whenever we read the Scriptures or hear them proclaimed at Mass. Through Him we come to know the Father.

A person trapped in sin is like a prisoner in a cage, with the key on the inside. We must speak with pity to him - yet also encourage such a person to set himself free, with the help of God, by giving up his sins.

Though it is right that we travel to Lourdes to pray in the Grotto, and to other shrines, Christ invites us to make a 'grotto' of our own heart, where we can meet Our Lady and confide in her, who is at all times close to God Who dwells within us.

Our Father in Heaven looks with delight upon everyone who speaks with others about His Son, Jesus, and Jesus' Holy Mother Mary. We are right to share our faith with joy, glorifying God and helping other people.

It is important that when we pray for other people, we pray with confidence and hope. God has foreseen everything that will ever happen. He has already taken account of our prayers, in His plans for souls, and our world. We should trust that when we ask, He helps.

Whenever we pray in the name of Jesus, even in darkness or loneliness, we share in the life of the whole company of Heaven.
