Christ gazed upon me with immense love and tenderness, as I expressed my contrition and love.
God's love 'falls' upon us unceasingly, as if from a waterfall. How surprised we would be if something interrupted the flow. We must beware of stopping the 'flow' of generosity in our own lives towards others.
The Sacraments of the Church are like an open doorway, through which pour out all the graces of God that we need for holiness and salvation, and through which we meet Christ.

As if from the 'door' of Heaven, God's graces pour outwards, down the stairway, upon us needy persons below. He graces are like torrents of living flame; it is into the 'Fire' of His love that each of us must step, when we die. The sinless feel no pain, only joy.
Christ is with us in Holy Communion, bringing comfort and consolation. Sometimes He must correct us, but He also actively encourages us, and rewards us, for following His way.
Some people, even though they have been saved, see clearly when they die how ill-prepared they are for Heaven, as if wearing filthy clothes - because they have neglected penance and prayer. They see all this in Heaven's light- yet they also see how merciful is God, Who invites them into Purgatory.

Christ stands by us in Holy Communion, wrapping us in His cloak, as a man cloaks a friend in a storm, to hold His friend close and to give him protection, warmth and consolation.
If we are sick and call to Christ, He comes to sit by our side, bringing us comfort by His Presence. No words are necessary. His love is enough.
Christ came to earth, to be born in poverty, for our sakes; yet we need to feast as well as to fast in His Church. We feast on His birthday, for example, in preparation for the Eternal feasting which takes place in Heaven, in an eternal celebration of His Love.
There are important truths to be believed by all who profess to be practicing Christians: that God-made-man, Jesus, lived among us, in history; that He spoke with authority as well as love; that by His Resurrection from the dead He proved His claim that 'The Father and I are one'
When someone brushed me aside and refused to help me, Jesus looked upon me with a lovely smile and infinate kindness, just as He did when He went to greet the blind beggar at the roadside.
Christ is swift to comfort us in our difficulties. In Holy Communion, He rushes to wrap us in His love, with tenderness and deep concern, just as a rescuer rushes towards an abandoned child, to cover her in a warm blanket and hold her close to himself.
The Heart of Jesus Christ our Saviour is so vast that it contains the whole universe, our world, and everyone on it. He loves every person with a deep, fervent and tender love. He prays for each of us today with as much fervour and power as when He prayed on the Cross.

Sometimes, when we are tired, Christ calls us to rest, and 'helps us' to find that rest in our lives.
We should never doubt the love of Christ. He forgives all our sins and failings if we turn to him with trust and contrition.
