Christ wants us to pay attention to the Saints: to their living relationship with us, their feast days, shrines, relics and statues. We should treasure these as we treasure what connects us with earthly family and friends. We could ask the Saints for their prayers, with confidence in their love and God's goodness.
The Saints and Angels are honoured when we show reverence towards them. All together, we offer praise and reverence with one voice to God on high.
We would be surprised if we could see how grateful the Saints and Angels are, when we greet and honour them in church.
The Saints and Angels are delighted by the honour we show them, as well as by our love for God. Angels and Saints are close to us in church, as we praise God Who is on high, above us all. Yet how sad it is that so many people don't know about the glory within the church.
Heaven is like a bright Home far above earth's darkness; an exalted state; a free gift of which we are not worthy. Preparation is necessary for those who want to live with the saints in perfect love and unity, in the embrace of the Three Divine Persons, in Their perfect bliss and peace.

The Three Divine Persons are united and active in the unity of the Godhead, as if circling in unceasing communion. In a circle around them the many Saints are also circling, living in the Godhead, in the light and bliss of Divine Love.
There is a broad road to Hell, and a narrow ladder, it seemed, to Heaven. There were many more people in view, at one side, below Christ and His Saints. These Holy Souls were in shadow, in Purgatory - safe with God, yet not yet enjoying Heaven.
In earthly life, it's as though we run a race in full view of Christ and the Saints; but those who prefer to leave the track will miss the triumphant end to the race, having taken a trajectory that leads to outer darkness.
From the life of grace, a rope-ladder led upwards to where Christ and the Saints waited in Heaven to greet those who persevered even amidst howling winds, and who bravely held on, until the moment of death.
People can be powerfully helped and drawn towards Heaven by the good example and the prayers of those who have already gone to Heaven.
Thousands and thousands of Saints are waiting to greet each happy soul who flies swiftly to Heaven, at death, and each happy soul who ascends from Purgatory, purified, into Heaven's light. Each soul is greeted with joy, love, and admiration.
As we travel towards Heaven, Christ is like a signal-man whom we rely on to send our messages to those waiting to meet us at our destination. Through Christ, we can be certain that our prayers reach God the Father, and the Saints.
As we praise God at Mass, with and through Christ, we praise Him with the whole Church, which includes the Saints of Heaven - here encircling the altar - and the Holy Souls.
The whole life of the Church follows in Christ's 'wake' as part of God's eternal plan: the Apostles and Saints, a visible Church, Catholic life and culture and devotions. All of this was in the mind of God.

The Holy Soul who is ready for Heaven is met not only by Christ, but also by His holy Mother and all the Saints. They all lead that joyful soul up the flight of steps to the Father's throne, in great gladness.

Our Lady shared Christ's anguish as did no-one else on earth. Their hearts beat as one, during His Passion. He experienced her sympathy and consoling thoughts in an extraordinary spiritual communion.
The Saints are gathered together in Heaven as if on an island far above our sinful world. The Lord invites us to change, by His power, and to share one day in their Eternal bliss.
