Every time we choose to do God's Will and not our own, we are like someone who removes the threads which still cling to Him, when he has bravely 'parachuted' into a life of grace.

We can try to act towards Christ as this priest acted towards His bishop: alert, and willing at all times to be of service.

Like Mary, we sometimes have to face the 'burial' of our earthly hopes; yet God can give us lasting joy if we put our trust in Him.

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

Time for a Halt: As the pilgrim family uses its provisions, so the Church enjoys light, leadership, food, and means of maintenance and mission.

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.

The Church puts out living shoots of holiness to flower in every age. Those 'shoots' are the Saints who, alive with God in Heaven, are our contemporaries and beloved friends, even though they emerged at different times.

Just as the people of God in Moses' time were led by a pillar of fire, a true contemplative today can be guided interiorly as if by a strong sweet fire. It teaches and consoles in just the way that Christ does.

The teachings of the Church should be followed by all Catholics; yet in the matter of personal devotions we can adopt a form of prayer or meditation that especially appeals to us, without having to adopt them all. A sensible person tasting a Chinese meal for the first time would try a little of most dishes, to see what suited them, without trying to consume everything.

Every time we pray the "Holy, Holy, Holy Lord" we join our voices with the saints and Angels who offer the same praise in Heaven.

A surgeon who gives a serious diagnosis sometimes has little hope of a cure. A priest who has to 'diagnose' serious sin can offer, as a cure, complete forgiveness and peace to those who sincerely repent!

We are not all called to full-time missionary work; but we should all hope to share our Faith by example and sometimes words. Brave Catholics, called by God to share the Faith boldly, are like charitable people who are willing to hand out maps, free, to passers by, because so many people do not take the road to the City of God, but the wrong road, into a cul-de-sac, in which they will never meet their King and Creator.

People who use a Catholic church as merely a concert hall for secular music, or a meeting place for secular gatherings (sometimes even removing the Blessed Sacrament from the tabernacle) are like people taking a beautiful and sacred Reliquary box, to use it as a sandwich tin for a parish picnic.
