The wall of sin, which separates us from God, is scaled only by Christ, Who stands with His mother. He alone can help us to reach the Glory of Heaven
Christ our God is really present in the Blessed Sacrament. His glory shines out, as we honour Him in the Procession.

If we turn to God in prayer, wanting gifts, but are reluctant to do His will, we are like children who put out their hands but look away.
Every time we choose to do God's Will and not our own, we are like someone who removes the threads which still cling to Him, when he has bravely 'parachuted' into a life of grace.

When I praised God for the beauty of the trees at the entrance to the village, and for the evening sky, I heard Him say: 'This is my gift to you.' He added: all true beauty has its source in Him. All good things we enjoy in accordance with His Will are part of His Providential plan for our delight.
God made the world, and gave life to all that lives, and He delights in our delight in the beauty around us, which has its source in Him.
A life slowly trickles away, by God's plan, like a rivulet which flows not towards a ditch but a great river, which is God's life in eternity
When anyone determinedly steps out to serve God, he or she is led on a firm path. The way is clear, but it's as if a burning lake lies at one side, so great care is necessary. One foolish step - such as pride - would mean disaster. The person who stays close to the wall (to Christ) will arrive safely into His arms, in Heaven.

Christ is honoured by us not by gifts: but by our consenting to be emptied and purified - like a lamp in which Christ shines.

Where a married couple really love one another, and love God, they want to do His Will. He wants them to be faithful to one another, and to refuse to use sinful means of seeking pleasure or avoiding conception. They can be sure, by their faithfulness to God's Will (even if this means abstinence, pain or heartache) that they offer an unmarred expression of love to their Creator and also to one another.

A wise Catholic knows that all truths 'fit' together, as bricks into a wall. She does not try to fit odd stones into the wall - by writing or sharing dissenting teachings, or by contradicting God's laws.
