The suffering Saviour stands, with outstretched arms, to shelter repentant people; and the Father looks lovingly from Heaven, upon His Son.

The Heavenly friends whose lives we acknowledge in the creed, are gathered about us. We are one family.

Christ's Holy Mother now lives the 'resurrection life' we hope to enjoy; and she is very close to Christ, and to us.

People who die whilst praying (like those who died praying the Rosary on the Titanic) are marching along a road which seems to lead to darkness; yet it's as if, by their prayer, each person carries a flaming torch on high which lights up the sure way to Heaven - even if the Way leads first through the Ocean.

Through the Church and her sacraments we find security and shelter until we have been made ready for Heaven

The Saints of Heaven rejoice in our love for Christ, and in our good actions, because all joy in Heaven is shared.

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.

In the spiritual life, all who cease climbing, and choose to stay where they are, still have to complete the climb after death, if they would enter Heaven.

Though we can see hints of God's glory in nature, we can only 'touch' God in and through Christ. Sin made a gigantic barrier - like a vast curtain across the skies - between Heaven and earth. Only Christ's Cross has torn away that barrier. Christ has made a way through: the Way that we find when we reach Christ and Calvary at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Declining health can be seen not as a descent - but rather a 'flight' with Christ, above former occupations, soaring towards Heaven.

It was on Calvary that Christ made a bridge by which all who come to Him can reach Heaven; and it is at Mass that we find Calvary.
