As Mary travelled to Bethlehem, she was like the Son she would bear, resembling Him in humility, love, trust and obedience.

One of Christ's Gospel promises is that He will pour into our laps gifts, to overflowing, if we are generous and loving in His service. He always keeps His promises, in one way or another.

God sees every good effort of human beings to serve Him. Sincere people in many religions reach out towards Heaven, to praise their Creator, however they picture Him, and in the hope of contact with Him. Yet the Catholic Faith is different from other religions in that, at every Mass, Heaven is laid open above us. Christ's power and Christ's intercession allow us to reach the Father, in the Spirit, through baptism and faith and the Sacrifice of the Mass.

In the eyes of Christ, each Catholic priest around the world is like a visible, embodied Christ, in a particular place; chosen and made ready to be a Christ to a certain flock, or to preach to those who do not yet know Him.

God our loving creator allows human beings to 'create' new life with Him. Yet millions of these huamn lives, precious gifts from Heaven, are swept away before birth by the monstrous tsunami of abortion.

Until we find the narrow Way which leads straight to Heaven, it's as if we are wandering around on an unknown road, in a cloudy area, in darkness. Then we see the light, and the safe way ahead.

Near the end of our earthly journey, we come to an intersection. If we follow the wrong road we will find ourselves lost on a bypass, or in industrial wastelands. But if we do what Our Lady says, and follow the map - which is Christ's instructions - we shall follow the road to the great Cathedral of Heaven, at the city centre, and hear beautiful music, in glorious surroundings.

The Lord showed me the far horizons, and many of the other roads which people travel in efforts to reach God and Heaven. The one Way to Heaven is the Way made by Christ and shown out by His Church.

Because Jesus Christ is God as well as man, and Present amongst us at Mass, He is powerful enough to push aside the 'cloud' that separates earth and Heaven, and His perfect praise - joined with our praises - is offered to and accepted by God our Father.

Jesus's love is personal, tender, and unchanging; he is present with us always, especially in the Blessed Sacrament, and consoles us with His Presence

Someone who refuses to repent of wrong, refuses to show contrition, or refuses to make reparation to those whom he has wronged, is in a dangerous place as if on the sloping side of the crater of a volcano. He might live in hope of reaching the top. But each new movement of rebellion makes him slide closer to the sheer precipice, from which only a miracle of grace can rescue him.

Christ asks His friends to entrust themselves to His care and to His plans - just as if each of us were to step into a car, at Christ's invitation, to let Him drive us wherever He pleases. Christ asks us to accept His Will for us, whatever it may bring.

Sometimes we are too close to things to see their meaning. As the Lord 'expands' our view, we come to see things of real importance, such as the importance of persevering on the Way to Heaven. Someone whose view is first limited to the wallpaper in front of him, for example, can marvellously broaden his vision, to gaze almost as 'far' as Heaven.

Christ showed me plainly that there is only one Way from earth to Heaven: the narrow way made by Him, so that all Who will trust in Him can follow the Way and arrive safely in Glory. Those who refuse to follow the safe Way inevitably fall, at death, into the dark Abyss.

The seed of our baptism is meant to grow into a mighty plant and take us to the heights of the spiritual life.
