Christ has a path for each of us to follow. Whether we are Clergy or laity, married or single, busy in prominent tasks or 'hidden away' in obscure jobs or illness, we glorify Him if we follow the way He reveals to us. One step at a time, we can walk in obedience and trust.
Whatever our vocation, we can give glory to the Father by walking forward on the road He has asked us to follow. Christ is our companion, even if we cannot see Him.

The Kingdom of Heaven, where God reigns in glory, extends as far as Earth: to each place, or each soul, where God's Will is done.

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.
Christ invites us to appear at the altar rail, to receive Holy Communion; and at the end of life to appear at the rail at the edge of Heaven, made holy and ready to enter.
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'
The 'jewel' at the heart of a Catholic Church is Jesus our Divine Savior, Present in the tabernacle. Everything in the church, and all our behavior, should be worthy of Him.

As a beautiful jewel rests in a worthy jewel-case, so the Blessed Sacrament should be placed in a worthy setting, honoured by the best of everything. Place, art, behaviour, prayer: all should be worthy of Christ our Saviour and God.
