There is only one way to Heaven - Christ Himself. By Baptism, each person enters the 'bridge', the safe way to Heaven. Some people who have not yet found the bridge, but who are making their way towards it, can be helped by God to reach Heaven, but there is no bridge but Christ.

Mary was conceived Immaculate. By her behaviour and attitudes she was going to influence the Son of God. It was fitting that she was able to provide, by her holiness and purity, a fitting 'pattern' for her son, as He developed in His human nature - even as he remained the same Divine Person.

Even if we try to serve God with wholehearted love, it can seem as if our spiritual life is lived in a 'tunnel' of interior darkness, until the moment of 'breakthrough' into the light, brought about by God.

Those who, for love of God, have endured spiritual darkness in patience are brought at last to 'fly' in prayer far above everyday concerns. No-one reaches such blissful contemplation except those who rise up through the grace of Christ. It cannot be achieved by merely human efforts.

God's graces are pouring out upon us as surely as water pours from a hose pipe in the garden in summer. But if we do not co-operate with God's graces we act like someone who fails to mend a tear in the pipe, fails to find the nozzle, or even fails to pick it up to use it.

Jesus Christ is true God, who took on our human nature, having the humility and goodness to come amongst us as a mere infant.

There are some souls who drift towards disaster. Though outwardly pious they abandon God through their self-will, disobedience and neglect of people in their care.

Many people neglect their duties towards God and their neighbour. They fight and argue until death - when there is no spirit of charity in them to bring them up to Heaven.

So good is Christ our Lord, that he shows His gratitude when we have made special efforts to do His Will.

With a peaceful heart, and a peaceful conscience, a happy friend of Christ can 'lean' on Him, in Holy Communion.

Husbands and wives who use contraception and so deliberately 'shut the door' to the gift of children, are also 'shutting the door' to God's light and graces, by their disobedience to His laws and to His plans for their marriage.

Sincere praise, offered through Jesus, in the Spirit, to the Father of light, flies swiftly to the 'heart' of Heaven, as when an arrow pierces a cloud. Our prayers are worthwhile and effective.

God is so 'other' that we cannot understand all about Him. In His patience He 'waits' century by century as stalactites form. In His delight in creation He makes little creatures like a caterpillar.
