Beyond worshippers and Angels, there was a parting of the veil; thousands of Holy Souls were praising the Father, through Christ.

The Spirit inspires us to praise Christ and offer His praise to the Father in an unceasing 'circle' of prayer

Wrong attitudes and old habits-of-mind can appear, like lumps showing through new wallpaper; firm preparation is needed for faith.

Every act of faith in God (as when we pray the creed, sincerely) is like a cry of hope and determination from a darkened world.

Jesus really died for us. In His ordinary, warm, solid, real body, Jesus was mocked, beaten, stripped and crucified, because of our sins - to save us!

No other praise but Christ's Sacrifice is worthy of the Father. All who praise God through Christ are praising Him through the power of that offering - even Christians who do not know about the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

A single prayer of true contrition pierces the heart of God (like a blade). The 'sweet wine' of God's peace and forgiveness pours out.

Contrition is the 'key' by which our soul is unfailingly made 'open' to receive God's graces. True contrition is not grovelling self-pity but sincere regret-for-sin combined with confidence that God loves, forgives, and can make us holy and joyful.

God gazes into our souls as if into a rock-pool; through clear water He glimpses Christ, the foundation. But the 'mud' of sin obscures His view.

If our hearts are bitter and resentful, when Christ comes to us in Holy Communion, he feels as He did in His Holy Passion

God's light, pouring into the soul of one who is reconciled, reveals only minor imperfections, which sometimes seem unavoidable in life on earth.

All strange creatures, like the insect this child observes, were made from God's generosity and for man's delight; yet now, we are imperfect and nature disordered.

This was the reason for Christ's parting from friends at His Last Supper, for His torment and His dying - the reason was sin.
