As I showed Mary my most secret fears, she comforted me simply by leaning and kissing me

God the Father 'cools' the burning pain of the Two Spears (which are shame and fear) which check my pride.

Christ wishes to see laid down before Him every fault or preoccupation or fear that prevents the soul seeing His will.

We can offer up our sufferings in union with Jesus in His Passion, to comfort Him, and to help other souls. Every suffering in our lives can be offered up, united with Jesus in that same type of suffering in His own life: our fear united to His in Gethsemane; our being misunderstood, with Jesus deserted by His Apostles; our grief, with Jesus weeping for Lazarus; our fear of evil forces, with Jesus being tempted by Satan.

God our Father is like a blazing fire in which is 'carried' the Church which shelters us, as Christ delivers us from fear.

All who overcome their fear, to be reconciled, have a spiritual splendour so great that their souls are like palaces of marble.

Whenever souls encourage one another in holiness they help one another to rise up in prayer towards Heaven: freed from fear, doubt or hesitation.

Pope John Paul II has been Christ-like in fearlessly speaking the truth about morals (as did Christ who spoke against divorce and adultery) whilst acting with great compassion towards individuals (as did Christ Who was kind to the adulteress).

The soul full of God's grace was represented by a soft-sloping beach, washed by the warm sea. The unhappy souls were like landscapes atop a hard steep cliff. One of these unhappy souls was featureless and dull, one fearsome in its mystery, and one terrifying because it was littered with bones.

The Lord showed me the Cross at the bottom of a steep slope. All who held onto the Cross were saved from falling into the Abyss beyond, which is the place where sinners go who have not repented. By a living faith in Christ, we can be freed from the fear of death and Hell.

Truly, each priest can turn to Our Lady for help, confident that she has a special interest in his hopes, joys, fears and sorrows. She keeps very close to her Immaculate Heart all who are configured to her son.

St. Peter spoke about Christ with fervour, joy and utter conviction; and so he provided a wonderful example for us who are sometimes timid, and have to throw off our fears, with God's help, and make joyful proclamations about the truths of the Catholic Faith.

In becoming man, the Son of God chose to share our life on earth, and our sufferings - though He is without sin. And He sacrificed His life so that we could be freed from sin and from the fear of death.

The Lord asks the Bishops to look back at their lives. Have they ever failed to speak out about morals, for example, for fear of upsetting people or driving them away?

Error is not a laughing matter. Where there is little supervision or guidance in a 'faith sharing' group, dissenters can hold forth with no fear of contradiction, and faith can be damaged rather than deepened.

A good priest feels privileged to be ordained, is awestruck by Christ's love, believes all that the Church teaches, never grumbles about his work, is keen to hand on the truth, is fearless in preaching, tells the whole truth about faith and morals, and requests reverent behaviour in church, where Christ is Really Present in the Blessed Sacrament.

If we pray in the name of Christ, with faith in Him and in the power of His Spirit, we can be sure of holding 'outside' our souls those thoughts, temptations, demons and fears which sometimes attack us. With Christ, we are safe from them, as if behind castle walls - no matter how terrible the 'noise' of the warfare being waged by our spiritual enemies.
