People who allow the liturgical life to take them along have a clear view and travel at great speed to the shore of Heaven.

The liturgy is like a huge ocean wave. If we actively plunge in, it can carry us to the shores of Heaven.

Along the Road to Heaven: It's better if we keep our eyes on the bright summit of the Holy Mountain than on the gloomy road below.

Those who refuse to follow the safe way into Heaven will eventually languish, far from Heaven's light, in the depths of the dark Abyss - by their own free, tragic choice.

One of Christ's achievements at His Resurrection was to cause a shining 'corridor' to be built between earth and Heaven: a safe way on high.

Christ's love for the Father, in its fiery delight, soars from the altar in our church, to the infinite heights of Heaven.

It was as though the floor of Heaven itself was extended over the altar, so that Christ was Present both in Heaven and on the Altar.

Truly, Christ our God is Present before us, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity: Present in glory at every Mass to pray to the Father on our behalf. He is the Living Bread, come down from Heaven, for the life of our souls. On the feast of 'The Body and Blood of Christ', we pay Him special honour.

If we shrink from sacrifice, we should reflect on the truth, that everything we value on earth shall be surrendered at death; yet everything worthy of Heaven - people too - shall be found 'in Christ' in Eternity. Christ, today, can give us the grace to see life from the standpoint of eternity.

Christ's Light shone out, during His life on earth. From Heaven, the Father gazed upon a selfless, loving Man-God.

By representations, in our sanctuaries, of Heavenly realities, people find it easier to pray: hearts and minds are raised to God.

The Whole Church is Gathered: At the 'Holy, Holy, Holy Lord', I saw some of the thousands of saints of Heaven, who praise God without us, as they stand in wonder before His infinite majesty.

It's as though, when we intercede for someone in need, Christ lets down a rope from Heaven, to draw a willing soul up high.

In private prayer we can arise in spirit to be united with the Communion of Saints in Heaven in praise of the Father, through Christ; and we can draw down grace, through Christ, upon a needy person.

The Church puts out living shoots of holiness to flower in every age. Those 'shoots' are the Saints who, alive with God in Heaven, are our contemporaries and beloved friends, even though they emerged at different times.

When someone prays in rapt attention to God, and is even lifted 'high' by Him in contemplation, it's as if she holds aside a curtain which had shut out the light of Heaven. She has made it possible - by God's grace - for His graces to pour down upon earth upon other people.

Purification and Deification are necessary if we are to enter the pure fire of the Godhead when we die.

Whoever pauses in His work, to pray - alone or in shared prayer - can glance towards Heaven, where Christ reigns with the Saints in glory.
