This is what we see in a tender-hearted gaze: sadness, love and grief for another in need, which call from us practical help and gentle consolation.

At the heart of our celebration is the offering of the Holy Sacrifice, through which Christ pleads and atones for us.
When the 'vessel' which is the heart wholly opens to God's will, it is purified. His divine life and love and wisdom are poured in.
When someone opens their heart to Him, God the Father touches His joyful child, in a marvellous 'custody' and communion, where He allows Himself to be 'captive' to His earthly creature.
It is in God that we can find a loving home or a hearth, with light and warmth. 'Outside' Him is only pain and darkness.
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.
The faithful soul lives at the heart of the Holy Trinity
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. They can be sure, by their faithfulness to God's Will (even if this means abstinence, pain or heartache) that they offer an unmarred expression of love to their Creator and also to one another.

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.
A Statue in the Garden: Here, we can see Our Lady's open-hearted approach to God. She always asked Him: "What would you like me to do?"
