It is by confidence in Christ, with contrition, that our hearts are purified; and the flame of praise then burns before the Father.

A person who prays to God with a sincere heart, offering Christ's prayer and Christ's saving work, is making his own Christ's love and Sacrifice; and thus he 'inserts' himself into the life of the Holy Trinity, as a diver enters an ever-flowing and powerful river.

This is the heart of the Catholic Faith: that Christ died to save us; and that this same saving Sacrifice is re-presented and offered here at the Mass in sacramental form.

As only a powerful force can push away clouds above the earth, so only powerful contemplative prayer makes a 'way' for Divine Light to shine upon needy people.

When I praised God for the beauty of the trees at the entrance to the village, and for the evening sky, I heard Him say: 'This is my gift to you.' He added: all true beauty has its source in Him.

Where a married couple really love one another, and love God, they want to do His Will. He wants them to be faithful to one another, and to refuse to use sinful means of seeking pleasure or avoiding conception.

Christ assured me that he looks on lovingly as I do my simple duties (as I write Christmas cards, or cook a meal) through love for God and 'neighbour'.

Wherever there are souls who are 'lit' by Christ's life and aflame with praise, it is as if God sees lights shining like diamonds across the earth.

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.
