Christ is truly God and man. He possesses all the attributes of Divinity, just as a single flame, being fire, has all the properties of an unconfined, blazing fire. All other supposed divinities adored by man are products of the imagination.

The idols or 'golden calves' which many people worship today, are their own selfish opinions, often contrary to the Church's teachings, their lack of reverence towards God, their neglect of penance and prayer, and the neglect of the ordinary duties of their state of life.

Just as the ancient people of God made an idol of a golden calf, so many people today make an idol of their private opinions, neglecting God's law, or they lack reverence in church, neglect prayer and penance, and disregard the duties of their state of life - loving their own will instead of the Will of God.

If Jesus were walking through a town centre, people would rush to see Him. Yet He is now truly Present a few metres away, in the tabernacle in our church; and though He longs to welcome us, many people don't know about Him - or simply ignore Him.

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.

Each person who genuinely experiences God in contemplation and is able to describe such things is like someone who has glimpsed bright scenes through Gaps in a 'cloud' which is Divine Life and Eternity. We cannot 'see' the whole picture.

The whole life of the Church follows in Christ's 'wake' as part of God's eternal plan: the Apostles and Saints, a visible Church, Catholic life and culture and devotions. All of this was in the mind of God.

The Process of Dying: Dying is a sort of labour. Christ is waiting to welcome each of His faithful children who will enter Heaven after a time in the 'womb' of earthly life.

As we struggle with serious problems, determined to remain faithful to Christ, He is very close, holding in His arms each beloved friend, as a life-guard holds up an exhausted swimmer.

Christ looks on with wonder at the doctor who has repented of the abortions he did, and who bravely speaks out about the sanctity of human life and its importance from the moment of conception.

In our misery and sin, we are like people trapped underground in a coal-mine. Some have no idea of life above ground. Yet no-one can be rescued who does not realise that he needs to be rescued.

Christ's love for each of us is never-ending and tender. Things go wrong in the spiritual life when people begin to hide themselves from Christ by sin or despondency.

Even if we try to serve God with wholehearted love, it can seem as if our spiritual life is lived in a 'tunnel' of interior darkness, until the moment of 'breakthrough' into the light, brought about by God.

It is Christ Who has built the vehicle by which we can be carried away from the 'war-zone' of earthly life, to safety. He is the designer, and the pilot who will take us on a free flight, if we will trust in Him.

Someone who seeks for the 'historical Jesus' can meet Him through prayer and love. It's as if the Heart of Jesus Who is now alive and risen, is like a time-tunnel through which we can touch Him in His earthly life too.

If we picture the earth, and the 'ladder' to Heaven, as if from the heights of Heaven, we can see that earthly life was very short, and our sufferings very brief, in the Light of Eternity.

It is a long way we must 'travel', if we are to persevere on our journey from sinful earthly life to the holiness and beauty of Heaven. Only by God's power, poured out in the sacraments, can we 'ascend' on high.

God our loving creator allows human beings to 'create' new life with Him. Yet millions of these huamn lives, precious gifts from Heaven, are swept away before birth by the monstrous tsunami of abortion.
