When we pray, we approach the palace of our Heavenly King. Are we His friends or enemies? If a servant asks us for the password and we know it - it is 'Jesus' - our requests are granted.

The Saints are gathered together in Heaven as if on an island far above our sinful world. The Lord invites us to change, by His power, and to share one day in their Eternal bliss.

It is a long way we must 'travel', if we are to persevere on our journey from sinful earthly life to the holiness and beauty of Heaven. Only by God's power, poured out in the sacraments, can we 'ascend' on high.
