Whenever we pray 'Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit', with a sincere heart, it's as if a sunspot erupts in our hearts, as glory streams up to God, to honour Him and to bring delight to the whole of Heaven.

As gigantic flames leap up from the surface of the sun, so the ardent soul's fervent prayers leap up - as great 'flames' of glory - towards Heaven, whenever we offers sincere words of praise to God. This gives joy to the soul, and joy to Heaven.

From the ardent soul which offers sincere praise to God, great 'flames' of glory leap up to Heaven.

A ranger in a watchtower lives in an oasis of light amidst a bleak, cold, dark landscape. Heaven is so glorious, so different from life in our dark, pain-filled, dangerous world, that it is like that oasis of light amidst the surrounding gloom.

The Saints and Angels are delighted by the honour we show them, as well as by our love for God. Angels and Saints are close to us in church, as we praise God Who is on high, above us all. Yet how sad it is that so many people don't know about the glory within the church.

Since Christ's death and Resurrection, the dark 'doorway' of death holds no terrors for Christ's friends. They know that, through death, they can go where the King of Glory went - following on the Way 'through' to Heaven. Those who live in the darkness of grievous sin, however, are 'blind' to the doorway, and do not find the Way.

When the bread and wine have been changed into the Sacred Body and Blood of Christ, He, the Lamb of God, our Saviour, is substantially Present: the Risen Christ, in the fire of His Divine Glory

Our Blessed Lady stood in the Lady Chapel, in glory, showing how she shares our joy on the feast of the Birth of her son, Our Lord. She played an important part in God's plan of salvation, and should have an important place in our lives and hearts, as our Mother.

Christ, in His earthly life, offered the Sacrifice to end all sacrifices, though He deserved nothing but love, honour and glory. He allowed sinners to humiliate and kill Him, in order to show the depth of Divine Love. We, at Mass, can offer that once-for-all Sacrifice in reparation for our own sins.

The church or Cathedral in which Catholics pray rests in God's care. Were we to see God, we would see a blazing fire reaching out powerfully throughout the entire building, embracing us who praise the Father, through Jesus, in the Spirit.

God is so powerful and Holy, it is as if He would crush us with His glory, were He to allow His fiery love to overwhelm us when we are unprepared. It would be as though the Cathedral wall burst inward, as His love poured upon us like a torrent of living fire.

Because of their Baptism, souls have been changed; and those who enter Heaven are 'shielded' from the burning fire of love which is God's nature. Instead of suffering through contact with His holiness, they shine, in joy: as if each is a little flame of love, visible even amidst the surrounding Divine Glory.

If we realise the magnificence of Christ's love, and Christ's glory, in His Presence amongst us, we will be encouraged to act reverently in church, and to see that we are all sinners before Him.

From the glory of Heaven, God has made a bridge to earth, through Christ, so that all who believe in Him and are baptised can have a sure hope of reaching Heaven. He is the only bridge, open to all people.

One day, if we have persevered in the Faith, our darkness will be replaced by glory. The brave soul who has climbed to the top of the 'ladder', even with bleeding hands, will see Christ and Our Lady waiting to greet Him.

The Lord lifts some people 'high' in prayer, to see the glory of Heaven. By His Will, He causes them to reflect some of the glory back to others on earth, through their witness, as if they are a mirror.

Christ showed me plainly that there is only one Way from earth to Heaven: the narrow way made by Him, so that all Who will trust in Him can follow the Way and arrive safely in Glory. Those who refuse to follow the safe Way inevitably fall, at death, into the dark Abyss.

Christ has a path for each of us to follow. Whether we are Clergy or laity, married or single, busy in prominent tasks or 'hidden away' in obscure jobs or illness, we glorify Him if we follow the way He reveals to us. One step at a time, we can walk in obedience and trust.
