If we guide a person towards danger, we are responsible for their injuries, whether on a beach, or through publishing bad books, or in any area of life.

It is through trust in God and obedience to His Church that someone can be brought as if to the top of a building which reaches as far as Heaven, even though some people below may think the climb is pointless.

A ranger in a watchtower lives in an oasis of light amidst a bleak, cold, dark landscape. Heaven is so glorious, so different from life in our dark, pain-filled, dangerous world, that it is like that oasis of light amidst the surrounding gloom.

The Saints and Angels are honoured when we show reverence towards them. All together, we offer praise and reverence with one voice to God on high.

We would be surprised if we could see how grateful the Saints and Angels are, when we greet and honour them in church.

The Saints and Angels are delighted by the honour we show them, as well as by our love for God. Angels and Saints are close to us in church, as we praise God Who is on high, above us all. Yet how sad it is that so many people don't know about the glory within the church.

Anyone on earth can choose to call out for God's help, hoping to be heard. Yet those baptised into Christ and made adopted children of God now live in His Light. They can speak with God as with a friend. They have a sure hope of Heaven if they remain faithful to the end. Christ's Spirit, living in them, gives knowledge of God, intimacy and hope, and is a 'lamp' for the way ahead.

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.

Just as it is not appropriate to use a precious Reliquary box as a sandwich tin, so it is not appropriate to 'empty' A Catholic church to use as a social centre or a concert hall.

Graces are poured out from Heaven, like a great river of power and goodness, at the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary with God, on our behalf.

Whoever loves and trusts God, and remains faithful to Him, is drawn to His heart as surely as someone swept to the centre of a whirlpool

Authentic Catholic teaching is like a glass of pure water for thirsty souls. Teaching which contains errors or distortions is like a glass of water which contains some dangerous organisms.

The Godhead is like a walled city. Only if we are carried by the Holy Spirit can we be carried over the wall into Heaven when we die; and only by His power can people approach Heaven in contemplation, as if by a rope ladder which is prayer.

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.
