Where grace is accepted from Heaven, it overflows on earth. Christians should show, by their charity, what Christianity is like.
Whoever is willing to abandon prayer to attend to a needy neighbour is, as she reaches out to help, reaching out to Christ, who looks on with love and gratitude. The greatest love for God is shown in doing His Will, whether in prayer or service.
A person who, for love of God, loves and serves her neighbour, walks a hard road towards Heaven, with steep climbs; but as she arrives, it is Christ Himself Who will kneel, wash her feet, then put a white robe over her head, for the feast of Heaven.

At the end of time, Christ who rose from the dead in glory will judge all people. How fortunate will be those 'little ones' who have loved Him, and loved all who are weak, hungry, persecuted and slandered.
Some Governments who should serve God, and protect and help their people, fail to do so - and even live in unbridled luxury whilst ignoring the poverty of their own people.
Governments offend God when they fail to protect and help their people, or when they attack people making legitimate protests, or when they live in unbridled luxury while their people starve, or when they pass corrupt laws, or are unjust in the distribution of goods.
The Lord Showed me a person with a little pebble in her hand, which represented the pure charity which she demonstrates for everyone. Then he showed me a gigantic, rocky cliff-face next to that person. And the cliff represented more than millions of pebbles, which is the infinate charity of God. In this life, we can always grow more loving.
Chris sees and admires all the good little things we do for love of Him, as well as our trials and difficulties, as we act in charity to help other people.
It is really important, as we journey together in the Church towards Heaven, that we love one another, and do not overlook the command to love our enemies, or to love the sick, shy and poor in a parish.
If we persevere in faith, we can approach the 'shore' - the state of great charity - from which we will depart to Heaven at our death. Even in this life, we can come near the edge of Eden.
It is true that we should be kind to everyone; yet we need to be prudent and watchful in dealing with people who seem to be half 'out of their minds' due to their uncontrolled appetites.
Unique individuals, no matter how weak, must never be treated as a nuisance, or mere objects of pity. Charity needs to be kept alive in the hearts of all carers.

It is the Lord's wish that our Bishops teach and reinforce the 'basics' of the Catholic life, which include regular and reverent Liturgical and private prayer, care of family and the needy, celebration of feasts and fasts, love for the Church, for the glory of the Holy Trinity, following Jesus.
The Lord showed me people shouting out in anxiety and alarm about carbon footprints, and worrying about their earthly lives. No danger in life should cause us as much alarm as the danger to our souls, by sin, which can bring a death worse that any earthly death, since the death of charity in our souls leads to the loss of God - which is Hell - unless we repent before we die.

Christ is overjoyed when we take steps to defend the weak, or to save lives, even by little efforts like writing to newspapers or politicians.
Though we must pray and work to help the needy all over the world, we must keep our thoughts also on Heaven, lest we become despondent, forgetting the glory and joy that await God's friends. Yet we must think, too, about our preparation. Only the pure and holy are ready to enter.
God the Father showed me, in prayer, that when I am forgiven, joyful, and very close to Him in the bond of charity, it's as if I sit at His feet, in silence and peace, as He strokes my hair.
