Our attitude at Mass should be one of total union with Christ in love of Him and in praise of the Father. Christ's praise is ours to offer, in the Spirit, if our hearts belong to Christ. God praises God, in God, at Mass, in unfathomable love, unity, glory and bliss.

A Russian wedding ring is a symbol of the unity of the Three Divine Persons in the Godhead
The Church is taught and guided by the Catholic Bishops who are in communion with one another and with the Pope. God has given us the Pope as our bond of unity. Only those Bishops who remain in union with the Pope (who is like the gem-stone in a ring of stones) are fulfilling God's plan and providing, with the Pope, authentic leadership for the Church.
The Pope is so important that even if a large group of Bishops were to break away from him they would not undermine the essential unity of the Church or her teaching office.
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.
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'
Illness gives us an opportunity to ask ourselves, as we think about the end of life: "Shall I meet God with a peaceful or a guilty heart?"
The Pope, the Bishop of Rome, is the chief Bishop, and the focus of unity in the Church. From Rome, the Holy Father guides and teaches the Church, as his predecessors have done since the time of the apostles.
We meet Christ in the prayer and love of the Christian community, in the Holy Scriptures, and in our priests; and supremely in His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament
No other body, amongst Christian groups, is One and Holy and Catholic and Apostolic, as is the Catholic Church, and with Christ Himself Present within her in the sacraments, particularly the Blessed Sacrament. Some Christians have sacraments but not complete unity. Others seem united but have few sacraments and are not Catholic.
Where people build modern towns, and good housing, they sometimes become proud of their achievements. But the best test of a modern community is to see how it treats its poorest and most helpless members. Of what use is a modern street to a disabled person who cannot cross a high kerb?
Our Father in Heaven denies to no-one the opportunity to know Christ, and to receive the gift of Heaven. Whether in earthly life, or at the moment of death, each person in our village hears the truth; but many say: 'To join the Church would be inconvenient', or 'To serve God will cause me trouble', or 'Life is too short to make sacrifices'. They forget the purpose of life - and our destination, which will be, eventually, Heaven or Hell.
It is the Will of God to draw us up, to share His Divine life, so that each of us, after death, might live eternally within the interpenetration and communion of the Three Divine Persons in the ecstatic Unity within the Godhead. Yet this is not possible for those who oppose His Will or refuse to believe in the Son Who died to save us.
