God the Father dwells in Heaven amidst the Fire of glory which He is; and it is before His throne that souls are brought for judgement. Some souls are brought to share His glory forever.

Pope John Paul stands in heaven, stretching out his hand in greeting, as we ask for his help.

War can endanger or corrupt the fighters. It can even endanger the souls of the injured innocent by making them bitter or full of hate. What sort of preparation for Heaven is armed struggle and all the evils that cause war to flourish?

It's as if there stretched a long spiral ladder from heaven down to earth. This was to show the great 'height' from which Christ descended when He came down to earth to be born of Mary, having left behind His glory.

The Father in heaven greets with delight a humble confession of weakness by one of His trusting 'children'

Every person on earth will one day arrive either in Heaven (perhaps through Purgatory) or Hell. It is our urgent duty to work for the salvation of souls.

A person who doesn't give up all attachment to sins and weaknesses before death must - if he is saved - repent in the darkness of Purgatory. Nothing impure can enter heaven.

Personal prayer, in our 'secret room', is never made alone; through Christ we are present with the whole company of Heaven

Christ came to earth, to be born in poverty, for our sakes; yet we need to feast as well as to fast in His Church. We feast on His birthday, for example, in preparation for the Eternal feasting which takes place in Heaven, in an eternal celebration of His Love.

Christ awaits us at the tabernacle, as if at the 'Doorway' to Heaven. If we make efforts to abandon our bad habits and weaknesses, by His grace, it's as if we push aside some of the clutter which might have hindered us on our journey to Glory.

We find the greatest joy in meeting Christ at the tabernacle when we have removed the rubbish - our failings - that clutter our path to Heaven.

When the praise of the Church on earth, with and through Christ its Head, rises up to Heaven, it's as if Heaven is startled and delighted - so powerful and glorious is that praise. It 'explodes', as when the light from thousands of fireworks explodes during a national celebration.

In faith we can see a blazing light, high up in church above the sanctuary. There, in heaven, the Father sits in glory, a papal crown upon His head, as He gazes upon everyone below who praises Him through Jesus Christ at Mass.

Through the one Sacrifice of Christ, re-presented at every Mass, we are united with the Heavenly Court and the souls of Purgatory

Each of us must 'climb' to Heaven in faith, hope and love, if we wish to reach glory, and avoid the smoke of Hell which lies below. With humility we can hope to persevere to the end, and to avoid lukewarmness, despair or self-satisfaction.

When a new saint arrives in Heaven, the whole company greets that soul, with Christ and his mother Mary. Then the new arrival is led through the throng - like a Queen at a garden party - to meet many old friends and companions, and many Saints who have been an inspiration and example.

When a faithful soul enters Heaven, she is made happy by meeting not only Christ and His Mother Mary, but also the particular Saints whose example have helped her.

In a picture of the Court of Heaven, where God the Father reigns in glory, Our Blessed Lady is placed on the steps which lead to the Father's throne. There, she is honoured, as Christ offers His Eternal Sacrifice to the Father, in the Spirit, and also honours the Saints.
