Those who stay closest to the suffering Christ - then and now - by patiently bearing sufferings, are His greatest friends.

At the heart of our celebration is the offering of the Holy Sacrifice, through which Christ pleads and atones for us.

At every Mass, Christ is made Really Present with us. It's as if our Risen Saviour stands before us, at the altar, His head bowed in reverence for God the Father, to Whom He lifts His arms as He prays for us. Christ offers to Heaven all the prayers that we pray 'through Him, with Him, and in Him'. In the power of the Holy Spirit, this one great sacrificial prayer is both powerful and effective.

As we offer our sins to God, in repentance, He accepts them as a gift, as when a mother accepts a pebble from a child as a jewel.

Christ stands at the altar, pleading on our behalf, His arms wide open, pleading for His people, for the living and departed, and offering our prayers as His own.

Christ was seated on a Heavenly throne, within our Sanctuary. Christ our God is worthy of the sufferings we bear for love of Him.

Christ offers from our sanctuary the same Sacrifice as that which He offered from the cross: a complete self-offering to the Father.

A person who prays to God with a sincere heart, offering Christ's prayer and Christ's saving work, is making his own Christ's love and Sacrifice; and thus he 'inserts' himself into the life of the Holy Trinity, as a diver enters an ever-flowing and powerful river.

As Abraham stood ready to obey God's will, so Our Lady stood to make Her offering, as we can, on our own 'Calvaries'.

To offer Christ's Sacrifice to the Father is like offering a treasure box, which is made more beautiful by the 'diamonds' on it, which are our repented and forgiven sins.

When we unite our sacrifices to Christ's offering, other souls are helped - as surely as when an injured person is lifted high out of danger.

Christ and Our Lady were very close to me, offering consolation after I'd struggled with some special work and numerous problems.

Christ's expression of love ascends from the altar; yet the same love was expressed before time began, and will continue eternally.

Christ's Work of the Cross is the central point of all history: the point to which all things were leading from Creation; and the point around which each of us must gather in each new era - in the Mass - in order to speak as children to the Father, relying on Christ's offering and intercession, as we wait for the End of Time.

I saw a child who unwrapped a precious object. I must 'unwrap' the Mass for other people, to reveal the 'heart' of it. It is a living memorial of Calvary's offering: the very same sacrifice, now sacramentally re-presented.

Someone who adores Christ in the Mass and longs to do His work can remain in spirit beside the Cross all day, with Calvary's offering in mind - making at each moment, with Christ, expressions of love to the Father, thanks for everything good, reparation for sins (patiently accepting trials), prayers for help and salvation for individuals, and prayer for the Church.
