Held in the love of the Three Divine Persons, we can intercede for others. A person who loves God brings close to God all the people she carries in her heart.
God's love never ceases towards us, as it never ceased towards our first parents on the occasion of the Original Sin. Yet they damaged their relationship with God, and needed reconciliation and healing.
A soul released from Purgatory soars like a rocket towards the distant 'sun', which is the radiance of Heaven. Each new saint approaches God in perfect humility.
The soul who is ready to enter Heaven, after Purgatory and not straight after death, kneels in awe before the Godhead, and waits for Christ and Our Lady to lead him to the Father's heart.
The Father reminded me of the importance of the prayer-card which I am completing: "Ready for Heaven?" God loves us all; but there is a desperate need for sinners to repent and change. Some Catholics are far from ready for Heaven. Many are not even fit for Purgatory.
The Lord is no more concerned by my distraction at Mass, when I'm tired and in pain, than if I were a sick child on her father's lap, at Mass. He is glad that I am present at Mass out of love for Jesus.
Long ago, before the world was made, it was already in the Mind of God - and part of the 'Joy' of God - that He would one day be sacramentally, substantially Present on earth, with those who love Him, in the Mass, and in the tabernacle.
God the Father pours out extra graces, like a waterfall, when He hears the prayers of all who call on Him in the name of Jesus, His beloved Son.
Those who search for God follow paths that criss-cross the slopes of the Holy Mountain; yet Christ's way is the only one that takes people to the summit.
On our journey to Heaven, Catholics trust in the navigator and the pilot (God) and are grateful for regular food (the sacraments). They try not to complain or demand weather reports or arrival times, but try to be helpful and kind to people around them.
A woman in Purgatory exclaims: 'Oh God, if only I had known'. She wished she had believed more firmly that God is real, and that sin should be abandoned, and that it's important to prepare for Heaven.
To dwell constantly on pornographic fantasies is like living in a foreign land, trapped in self-indulgence, avoiding the joys and duties of everyday life, and 'avoiding' communion with our all-loving God.

Our Lady of Sorrows: Our Blessed Lady showed reverence for God, in love, obedience and submission, not only when approached as a teenager by an Angel, but throughout her life, and beneath the Cross. As she welcomed God's Will in every circumstance, so should we welcome it, in small things and great.
We have an astonishing power when we pray with Jesus, in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The whole Church is united in offering praise and thanks, to the delight of God the Father.

By our Baptism, and the indwelling of God, we are given the gift of prayer. When we pray in Jesus' name to the Father we are certain of being heard. It's as if we have a megaphone - but we make a clearer 'sound' if, by penance, we keep it free from dust.
There are other people who believe they know what God wants them to do; and they do it. They fast and pray with admirable fervour. Yet many Christians do not pray regularly because they do not realise how glorious and good is God Who deserves our praises. They have not been well-taught.
