The Risen Christ is Really Preset with us, after the Consecration, praying to the Father for sinners to be forgiven, just as He prayed from the Cross on Calvary. And His Mother is very close to Him.
Christ spoke to me from the sanctuary, where He was Present in the tabernacle. He showed His delight in the forthcoming news about greater reverence in the Sacred Liturgy; and He turned towards His Father in Heaven, to Whom greater glory will be given by the changes.
Through Him, With Him: Christ, Present amongst us, tears apart the curtain that separates us from Heaven. By His paschal work - re-presented in the Mass - He penetrates the veil, and brings us and our united prayer into the presence of God the Father, and the Saints who live in Him.
At Mass, it is as though a gigantic Christ stands at the altar, to reach out and tear the veil that hides Heaven from earth.

Where is Everyone? Christ 'wonders', so to speak (though He knows everything) - Where are all those followers of His who profess to love Him? Yet many can't be bothered to meet Him at Mass, whilst others have not yet been told that He is Really, substantially Present here in the Blessed Sacrament.
Our Lady of Sorrows: Truly, Our Blessed Lady suffered horribly as Jesus Christ her beloved son died in torment on the Cross. It is as if we pray with her at the foot of the Cross, each time we pray before the altar in church at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
From our sanctuary, at every Mass, Jesus Christ our Saviour offers the prayer He prayed for us during His Passion, as He died on Calvary: "Father, forgive them". And His Mother stands beside Him.
At every Mass we are present to the Sacrifice once offered on Calvary, when Christ suffered and died for us, as His Mother stood by Him. It's as if Calvary protrudes through the floor of our sanctuary, the Cross at the centre.

Christ showed me that when I am sick and exhausted and find it hard to pay attention at Mass, I am no more to blame than an exhausted child who cannot help falling asleep on her father's shoulder, held safely in his loving arms.
Christ said to me, about the Tridentine Mass: "It is My wish that the Ancient Rite be restored, and thus help restore reverence all over the earth".
The Lord showed me little 'fires' of love for God, burning all over the world, especially wherever people praised God through Christ at Mass, with reverence, and particularly through the 'Ancient Rite'.
The uniquely powerful prayer of Jesus in the Mass reaches through the roof and unites us with the worship of Heaven
Many Catholics have no idea of what is really happening at Mass. It is tragic that so many children say that they are bored at Mass. Not having been instructed about the Holy Sacrifice of Christ, they are ignorant of the fact that Christ is truly Present amongst us, praising the Father of Light in the presence of the whole Church. We pray with the Saints and the Holy Souls, and with the Holy Angels.
Through the Church we have everything we need to live as children of God in a sinful world. We even have praise to offer to God our Father which is worthy of Him: praise which is offered by Jesus Christ, Sacramentally Present in our midst, at Mass.
The Lord showed me a series of posters which represented the many subjects studied in Catholic schools. If the children don't learn spiritual truths, however, they will be lost. They need to know about God's love for them, and their unique worth; and also about the importance of prayer, the sacraments, holy living, the Mass, and perseverance in grace until death.
All the Saints were smiling, sharing their joy with one another, because the Church on earth was praising God the Father, through Christ, in the Spirit, as the congregation said the great 'Amen' at Mass.
Christ asked me a rhetorical question, saying 'Where are the others?' He meant: If Catholics had been well-taught about the Holy Sacrifice, and about Christ's Real Presence, many more would be present even at a week-day Mass.
The Holy Eucharist, which is Jesus Christ Really Present, is such a great and holy gift that two Angels accompany the priest as he carries the blessed Sacrament to us, for Holy Communion.
