Christ showed me in Holy Communion that He was hugging me, as one hugs a child to console her, to help me through my difficulties.
It is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Love, Who carries souls to Heaven when we die. A person who hates others is plainly not full of the Holy Spirit; and if he dies in that state, he will not be able to rise up to Eternal Life.

The life of God is so awesome and glorious that even the Saints in Heaven, who gaze towards God in wonder, do not fully understand the Holy Trinity. That triune life was only revealed to us because Jesus, the Son of God, descended from Heaven, to tell us of God's love and God's inner life.
Each of us can picture himself as standing at the 'edge' of Heaven, near the steps that lead up to Christ and Our Blessed Lady, who are surrounded by the Saints. Each of us can ask: Am I ready to enter? Do I now lead a life of purity, love and peace?
At the Consecration at Mass, at Blackfriars in Oxford, I saw Christ standing behind the altar, with the Dominican priests who were concelebrating. His glory shone all around, as I praised Him for His Real Presence and His love.
The Lord Showed me a person with a little pebble in her hand, which represented the pure charity which she demonstrates for everyone. Then he showed me a gigantic, rocky cliff-face next to that person. And the cliff represented more than millions of pebbles, which is the infinate charity of God. In this life, we can always grow more loving.
Our Blessed Lady had to cope with the apparent burial of all her hopes, as her beloved son was placed in the tomb. But we, like her, must trust in God's promises, that good will eventually, definitively, defeat evil.
Christ is a true friend and companion to those who believe in Him and love Him.
There is a place not far from Heaven, called Purgatory, where people arrive to prepare for Heaven. It is as if they finally take off their dirty rags, and are re-clothed like royalty; then they process to their seats, wearing crowns, to join the Saints above - through the love and mercy of God Who rewards all who die in a state of grace.
Christ reaches out to embrace us in just the manner shown out in many Christian images.
A person trapped in sin is like a prisoner in a cage, with the key on the inside. We must speak with pity to him - yet also encourage such a person to set himself free, with the help of God, by giving up his sins.

As we enter the church, Christ greets us from the tabernacle. He delights especially when we love and honour His Mother on her feast days.
Our Father in Heaven looks with delight upon everyone who speaks with others about His Son, Jesus, and Jesus' Holy Mother Mary. We are right to share our faith with joy, glorifying God and helping other people.
It is important that when we pray for other people, we pray with confidence and hope. God has foreseen everything that will ever happen. He has already taken account of our prayers, in His plans for souls, and our world. We should trust that when we ask, He helps.
Jesus our God and Saviour prays with us and for us at every Mass, no matter what 'clouds' of sadness or turmoil seem to fill our lives. We can rely on His prayer to the Father on our behalf, in the love of the Spirit.

Just as Our Blessed Lady persevered in hope, in the worst of all times, when her beloved son was dead, so must we all persevere in trust in God, even when our lives seem to be heading for disaster.
