God's holiness is so great that - all at once - it fills our church, yet also holds the whole building in invisible light and fire.

It is the Will of God that we fulfil our duties towards our immediate family. If we neglect to feed and clothe them, we neglect to feed and clothe Christ, as He explained in His parable: "I was hungry, thirsty, sick and you did not help me".

Good parents offer warnings about the dangers their children must avoid if they wish to remain safe and at peace. Likewise, out of love for us, Christ has issued warnings - today through His Church - about sins to avoid, and the disastrous consequences of rebellion.
We have a choice: to climb the mountain of holiness before we die, and go through the 'curtain' at death straight to Heaven, by God's grace; or to make great efforts, or half-hearted efforts, then finish the ascent in Purgatory; or we can choose to give up the climb, and to fall away, and to abandon the hope of reaching Heaven after death.
God 'is' our salvation. If we remain 'enclosed' in His life and live in a fruitful union, until death, we shall enter His glory.
Whoever praises God with sincerity, conviction and gladness soars high in prayer, confident of being 'held'.

Christ sees our behaviour in church - some bad behaviour due to ignorance, some due to carelessness or lack of love for Him. He does not take offense. He loves us all dearly.

In God's sight, little babies who die - before birth or after; of natural causes or abortion - are like shooting stars which flare briefly and then fall from the sky. These lives sparkled briefly before tumbling into God's care, as if into a father's arms; yet much prayer is necessary, to halt the evil of abortion by which some people do a grave wrong to the babies, and to their own souls.
