It is the Holy Spirit Who is at work in every prayer we offer, and at work to effect the change which takes place at the Consecration, when the bread and wine became the Sacred Body and Blood of Christ. A dove is a symbol of purity and holiness, pictured here behind the altar, as the Spirit is at work in His Divine power, to give us the Sacrament of our Salvation.

As the Father gazes today at our work, He sees light, because Christ, pure and holy, is here amongst His people.

God is as pure as fire. He is active, holy, powerful and bright. It is he who lifts up a soul who has placed herself before him. Those tendrils of flame no longer burn, but act as 'touches' of sweetness in a divine embrace.

The fierce purity of the Godhead can be pictured as the burning radiance of a triple wheel of fire - which we shall enter.

In His Divine Life, God is far 'higher' above us, because of His otherness, and His holiness and purity, than the most towering feature of our earthly landscape.

The pure truth of the gospel, like a shining thread, appears in one age to be extreme in one way, and in another age to be extreme in another way, but is visible for all who wish to see it.

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

The praises of the monks are worthy of God and Heaven, as are mine as I rest in God, in and through Christ, to adore and to offer myself.

The purity of Heaven is far away from any worldly, sinful way of life. We may be half-way to Heaven, with Christ and Our Lady, in contemplation and acts of charity, but only by grace can we persevere to the end, on the 'hard road'

Christ descended a great distance to join us in our world, yet He had the joy of being with a Mother who, though not divine, was pure and holy. It was fitting that she was lifted, body and soul, out of our sinful world, when her work was done, so that she might 'rest' eternally with Him Who had 'rested' with her.

Mary was conceived Immaculate. By her behaviour and attitudes she was going to influence the Son of God. It was fitting that she was able to provide, by her holiness and purity, a fitting 'pattern' for her son, as He developed in His human nature - even as he remained the same Divine Person.

Pope John Paul II soars on high, after his death, proceeding swiftly into Heaven, so complete was his union with God, and so great his holiness, simplicity and purity.

The Kingdom of Heaven, where God reigns in glory, extends as far as Earth: to each place, or each soul, where God's Will is done. Wherever people believe what is taught by Christ and His Church, and out of love for Christ put his teachings into practice, in truth, justice, love, purity and holiness, the Kingdom is made present. All are invited to enter.

It should be the aim of each Christian to climb the mountain of holiness, and to emerge one day from the darkness of sin to the 'fresh air' of life in Christ, in purity, amidst the flowers of grace - ready to greet Christ when He calls the soul to die, and to go 'Home'

The Lord showed me that Heaven is like a circular area full of Divine glory, occupied by the Three Divine Persons and the Angels and Saints. Christ and His holy Mother want to greet new arrivals, which is why each of us needs to ask himself: "Am I ready to enter?"

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?

Though we must pray and work to help the needy all over the world, we must keep our thoughts also on Heaven, lest we become despondent, forgetting the glory and joy that await God's friends. Yet we must think, too, about our preparation. Only the pure and holy are ready to enter.

Christ bore horrible insults in His Passion, as He was mocked by the soldiers for His preaching, His claim to be the Son of God, His Galilean background, and also His purity and innocence.
