When one soul is willing to pray with and for another, at a distance, it's as if the fire of charity in him is directed towards that other soul (as well as towards God).

This is pure worship: To be at the heart of the Three Divine Persons, content to gaze, to adore, and to offer one's heart and life and self.
When Christ was hanging on the Cross in torment He was aware of all human tragedies from the beginning to the end of life - including the sufferings of those on 9/11. God does not look on impassively as mankind suffers; on the contrary, the Son of God came down to earth to share our sufferings, even to die. When Christ rose from the dead, He made a way to Heaven for all who would follow Him.

The praises of the monks are worthy of God and Heaven, as are mine as I rest in God, in and through Christ, to adore and to offer myself.
Christ prayed to the Father, in His earthly life: prayer from one Divine Person to another, equal in majesty. The reciprocal love blazing out between them is the Holy Spirit: a torrent of love so fiery and radiant that no sinful creature could have borne the sight. Only in Heaven can we see it, in its fullness.
The Christian life consists of trust in Christ, giving up sin, following His way even in darkness, and moving towards the Glory of heaven.

Everything in a priest's life should pale into insignificance when set beside the supreme task of saving souls and leading them towards an everlasting Easter. No personal or private ambition or scheme must intrude.
It was because so few Catholics knew much about the Faith, or about the stages of the spiritual life, that God taught me so much about our Christ, Who is the living image of Our Father in Heaven and on fire with the same Divine Love.
Christ can see the life of each one of us, from start to finish. Through His omniscience as God, He sees exactly what use we will make of our free-will, and His gifts and graces. He sees the good choices and the bad, and sees all of our reactions to His invitations and interventions. He sees who will reach sanctity.

The Catholic way of life consists of love and obedience. Without love, we become self-satisfied by our obedience. Without obedience to God's Will, we 'fall' into self-will. With both, we resemble Christ our Saviour.
When people ask the way, it is kind to tell the truth; for example, to explain if they are in a cul-de-sac. So it is in the life of faith. Those who ask questions of us deserve a clear answer about the best Way to travel in order to find God and Heaven and Eternal Joy. It is helpful to offer a free map.
If we guide a person towards danger, we are responsible for their injuries, whether on a beach, or through publishing bad books, or in any area of life.
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.
Each person on earth, scarred by original sin, is invited to share the life of the Three Divine Persons, One God, who live in infinite joy and radiance.
