It can happen that someone finds himself so isolated and unhappy, through his mistakes and much-regretted decisions, that it's as if he waits in a deep pit, praying for the courage and humility to reach out and accept the necessary help, to return to joy.

A person who lives in self-love, greed, pride, hard-heartedness or any sinful state, who will not change, builds a 'brick wall' between himself and God: the God who is made Present in every celebration of the Mass

The Lord does not want us to do penance all the time, and become miserable, or proud of our self-sacrifice. There's a time for penance and rigour, and a time for a good rest, with a cup of hot chocolate, and a biscuit - in the Lord's company, at peace.

Row upon row of flames can be seen in the depths of Hell, where are nestled - because of their own choices - impenitent souls who lived until death in lust, pride or disobedience, or lacking compassion and love.

The Holy Souls in Purgatory undergo an interior cleansing and transformation, as they realise how much time they wasted in earthly life, when they might have shown greater love towards God and their neighbours, in humility and obedience.

We 'worship' ourselves by fulfilling only our own plans and ambitions, with little thought for God's wishes. If we idolise ourselves we shall have little possibility of being with God in Eternity.
