Those who search for God follow paths that criss-cross the slopes of the Holy Mountain; yet Christ's way is the only one that takes people to the summit.

If we persevere in faith, we can approach the 'shore' - the state of great charity - from which we will depart to Heaven at our death. Even in this life, we can come near the edge of Eden.

People are making their way towards death and perhaps Hell; and although different speakers give advice about reaching Heaven, there is only one Way (one ladder), that leads upwards as far as Heaven - which is Christ.

There are many well-meaning people offering to the crowds very different ideas about God. It's as if they stand on stepladders, to give out their advice; yet the only ladder that reaches Heaven was put up by Christ, who came from Heaven.

Mortal sin is like a whirlpool. It is easy to be swept into it, and it is impossible to escape disaster. In the life based on the Sacred Liturgy, however, we can be carried powerfully along by the sacraments and holy habits, until we arrive on the shore of Heaven.

Before the time of Christ, people had to go to the Temple at Jerusalem to be where God had come down in a special way. But Jesus, by His saving work, and the gift of Baptism, has made possible the entry of God, and the indwelling of God, in His glory, in the soul of the one who has freely accepted Christ and the sacrament.

From the fatherly love of God - like a pinpoint far in the distance, before time - has come everything good: Creation, life, God's plan of salvation, the Son Who died for us, the Spirit Who guides us, the Church which sanctifies us.

Rich and poor, sick and well, can receive faith. All who put their trust in Jesus and His saving work and come 'into the light' by membership of His Church can be confident that the prayers they offer through and with Jesus, in the power of the Holy Spirit, will be heard and answered.

God does not 'like' to see us suffer, just as God the Father did not like to see His Son suffer on earth; yet that suffering of Jesus was part of the plan which They - with the Holy Spirit - accomplished, so that salvation would be possible for the whole human race; and we too are sometimes asked to bear a few dreadful trials for a special purpose.

When people slide 'downhill' into mortal sin, it is impossible to regain the 'heights' of holiness without God's grace. We must beware of yearning for the whole world, only to lose our souls.

God the Son was born of the Blessed Virgin Mary. No more dramatic and marvellous event had ever occurred upon earth than the appearance of the infant Who was fully God and fully human. And He had come to earth so that we can go to Heaven.

Christ the Son of Mary is God's own Son, Son before all ages, then born in time, made flesh for our sakes.

Christ accepted death, in order to conquer death. He rose from the grave by His Divine power; He shared that same power with His devoted followers - and still does so today. Christ has made a Way back to Heaven, in which we can follow.

Some deficient catechesis puts great emphasis on God's work for human beings in past ages, and God's glorious plans for the faithful in Heaven, but with little teaching about how we can meet and touch God here, in the present moment.

A person who dies, and who is ready for Heaven, moves to the heart of the Holy Trinity, to live in Eternal bliss and fulfilment. He has been saved by the merits of Jesus, the only Saviour, and the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

We who are members of the Church are on a 'journey' of pilgrimage together, from earth to Heaven. It is sometimes necessary to make comments or suggestions on the state of the vehicles used, or the management and care of the needy, but not to berate individual clergymen.
