Those men called to the Priesthood who surrender family life with reluctance, as a sacrifice wrung from them by circumstance, are never as happy as those who are overwhelmed by the knowledge of God's love for them and see beauty and freedom in this total self-giving to God and His Will in imitation of Christ.

I was shown a symbol of the Holy Trinity: three triangles, with a fire like molten lava (representing Divine Love) at the heart of each.
Each Divine Person is at work to draw a soul into the heights of union. Father, Son and Holy Spirit - One God - are lovingly attentive, and draw willing souls up high.
Christ loves to bring His friends refreshment and new courage through His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament. Whoever adores Christ before the tabernacle or monstrance, or receives Holy Communion, can be sure that, standing very close to Christ, are His Holy Mother and all the Saints too.
Children' of God are at play in His Presence, it seems, amongst the tendrils of flame with which the Father reaches out from the great, bright fire of the Godhead.
It is love for God that 'counts' in prayer. Someone who gives his entire attention to God in love and reverence might find himself rising to the 'heights' with no effort, as if on a magic carpet - unlike those who try to storm Heaven with loud demands. The Saints lean down, to encourage us all to approach God with patience and humility.
There are many different ways of praying, and many different interior attitudes; what matters is our sincere love for God

God's love for us is like a vast body of water which can never be depleted, nor ever cease to flow.
Whoever lives in union with the Blessed Trinity is one with each Divine Person as each one pours out love to the others.
When we guide and help someone in need we can be like a mother who leads, instructs and encourages a little child.
Whenever a true friend of God waits before Him, the Lord must swiftly reach down, to draw His friend to His heart.
At the Easter Vigil, Christ leaned over my chair, showing how delighted He was to be with me, and at my desire to please Him, to live at peace with everyone, and to make Him widely known and loved.

Christ is pleased by our devotion to Him at the tabernacle. He leans like a king from a palace window, arms open wide, to give a lovely greeting. He is alive, and risen, and Present with us. He with one with the Father and Holy Spirit, pictured close by Him.
As a child rests after playing in a snowfield, so I can rest in God, cradled in His Divinity, whenever I turn to Him in trust.
God is simple: God is love: an outpouring love, so powerful and pure that He is like a torrent of flame which either burns or consoles.
If we surrender to him, the Holy Spirit will fill our souls with light, love, purity, peace, and power
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.
