Jesus Christ is present with us when the Scriptures are read

Christ stood beside the priest who was reading the Holy Gospel to us all, which was Christ's own word.

Our Lady appeared before me, in her dazzling Heavenly beauty. Her head was veiled, her clothing was brilliantly-white, her face was radiant, and she held a lamp in her left hand, appearing in the guise of the 'Wise Virgin' of the Gospel story. The Lord taught me about her power to help us. Truly, she is the 'Mother of God'.

The glory of Christ shines out when the Sacred Scriptures are read at Mass

The more I treasure Christ's friendship and believe in His Gospel, the more frequently He supports me - by His power - at a great height, before the Father.

"Would St. Paul Recognise it?" The Lord showed me the 'New Gospel' preached today by those who dissent from the Church's teachings, and who rarely mention sin or punishment, and speak as if it is easy to be saved, no matter how a person chooses to live.

The pure truth of the gospel, like a shining thread, appears in one age to be extreme in one way, and in another age to be extreme in another way, but is visible for all who wish to see it.

One of Christ's Gospel promises is that He will pour into our laps gifts, to overflowing, if we are generous and loving in His service. He always keeps His promises, in one way or another.

God the Father looks on with infinite kindness whenever a person who has failed in virtue has then repented. It is just as when the father greeted his son with extravagant delight, in the Gospel story about the young man who wanted his inheritance.

Where irreverence and dissent go unchecked, and a false gospel is preached, there are few vocations to Priesthood or to religious life. How can people who disbelieve large parts of the Faith hand it on with conviction?

There are public talks for enquirers at which speakers tell of their personal friendship with Jesus, which is strengthened by what they read in the Bible. The best talks are those given by faithful Catholics who present the whole Gospel message, including the life of the Church: that God became man, to save us; He founded a Church on those who were witnesses to His Death and Resurrection; the Church can tell us how to live, and help us to know Christ and achieve salvation; we can belong to her.

In every age, there are new ways of spreading the Gospel. If it is true that last century, it was possible for a poster of a well-known revolutionary to appear on the bedroom walls of thousands of people throughout the world, it is even more certain that, through the internet, pictures of Christ can reach an even wider audience.

Some people have travelled far, to spread the Gospel; yet we do not have to do magnificent things in order to please Christ. A simple act of love, for example - keeping someone company at a meal, or on a journey, can be as great, in Christ's sight, as the work of spreading the Gospel throughout the land, and can bring about as much good, in souls.

Some Catholic churches have neither a crucifix in them, nor a statue of Our Lady. Just as an art-lover would see it as a tragedy if all the pictures in a gallery were to have been cut out of their frames, so faithful Catholics are not wrong to call it a 'tragedy' when a new church is built - or an old one stripped - and those who pray there must face bare walls, without reminders of Gospel scenes, or Heavenly realities.

Catholics deserve to hear the whole gospel, about Heaven and Hell, sin and sanctity. Those who hear no warnings are likely to persist in their sins; whereas only the foolish would commit adultery, for example, if they knew that were they to die suddenly before they have repented they would fall straight into Hell.
