Christ showed me how He accepts all the pain that I accept for myself, and applies it, tenderly, as balm to His wounds.

What a chasm lies before us at Mass, as we are made a part of the One Sacrifice for sin, united with that past age when Christ on the Cross to save us.

Our prayers, even in darkness, unite us with Jesus, who prepares us for the Heavenly glory that lies behind the curtain
Christ walks amongst his people, with the pilgrims and the sick ones, a child on His shoulders
In the spiritual life, a staircase lies ahead, very steep, yet with resting places. At the top stands God's throne. The way is clear.

When anyone determinedly steps out to serve God, he or she is led on a firm path. The way is clear, but it's as if a burning lake lies at one side, so great care is necessary. One foolish step - such as pride - would mean disaster. The person who stays close to the wall (to Christ) will arrive safely into His arms, in Heaven.

God 'saw that it was good'. Nothing in creation lies 'outside' the love of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In all our travels, and travails, we are in His loving care.
Thousands and thousands of Saints are waiting to greet each happy soul who flies swiftly to Heaven, at death, and each happy soul who ascends from Purgatory, purified, into Heaven's light. Each soul is greeted with joy, love, and admiration.
Sincere praise, offered through Jesus, in the Spirit, to the Father of light, flies swiftly to the 'heart' of Heaven, as when an arrow pierces a cloud. Our prayers are worthwhile and effective.
Each of us must 'climb' to Heaven in faith, hope and love, if we wish to reach glory, and avoid the smoke of Hell which lies below. With humility we can hope to persevere to the end, and to avoid lukewarmness, despair or self-satisfaction.
Amongst the many people in Heaven are parents who would have liked to receive love and thanks from their children in earthly life. God wants families to show love for one another.
The Lord wants us to keep alive the hope of Heaven. We are not all meant to be busy campaigning about great causes. He is grateful when faithful people love Him and remain faithful to their ordinary duties and to prayer, and are kind to their families and friends.
The Lord explained that He delights in giving gifts to those who ask in faith for His help - and He is lavish in His response. This applies to beautiful weather and glorious skies as much spiritual requests.
The souls of those who live in serious sin, without following God's laws and the Church's teachings, are like a sea of melting ice, in which there is no hope of life; the souls of those in a 'state of grace', however, are like a land of fruit trees, cornfields, rivers and blue skies, far above the icy wastes, close to a mountain whose top lies in heaven.
