The Godhead is like a walled city. Only if we are carried by the Holy Spirit can we be carried over the wall into Heaven when we die; and only by His power can people approach Heaven in contemplation, as if by a rope ladder which is prayer.

All who share God's Trinitarian life can feel safe at death - as if tumbling over a cliff, yet held aloft within God's light until they reach the other side.
The Three Divine Persons are united and active in the unity of the Godhead, as if circling in unceasing communion. In a circle around them the many Saints are also circling, living in the Godhead, in the light and bliss of Divine Love.

Someone who lives in a state of grace, with no aspect of his life 'hidden' from God's gaze through shame or self-will, is as if living underneath an umbrella of light, doing one good thing after another in the true freedom of the children of God.
When the bread and wine have been changed into the Sacred Body and Blood of Christ, He, the Lamb of God, our Saviour, is substantially Present: the Risen Christ, in the fire of His Divine Glory
Christ in the Blessed Sacrament is the One who can fill the 'God-shaped' hollow in each human heart.
We hear about a 'God-shaped hollow' at the centre of the human heart. It is Christ in the Holy Eucharist Who is able to fill that space. Only He can give us what we need for true life and joy, here and in eternity.
Our Blessed Lady stood in the Lady Chapel, in glory, showing how she shares our joy on the feast of the Birth of her son, Our Lord. She played an important part in God's plan of salvation, and should have an important place in our lives and hearts, as our Mother.

A person who shares God's very life, through Baptism, and lives in a state of grace, can be certain that when she prays to the Father in Christ's name, in the Spirit, He hears and answers. How can He fail to hear the prayer of His own Son? In sharing the life of the Divine Persons, we share in Their loving responses to one another in the Godhead: hence our prayers are granted.
