Christians should pray frequently, asking God for a renewal of Christian faith in many hearts and many countries.

It is important that children making their First Holy Communion are taught about the Real Presence and about how to live holy and pure lives. Parents should set a good example of faith and holiness.

Jesus was made refreshed and joyful by sitting with His friends in Bethany, in a welcome silence. He knew He was loved, and though He was full of compassion for needy people He was glad to retire for a while from the noise and bustle of the crowds.

The Lord comes to be with us when we make a 'spiritual communion'.

Sometimes, when we are tired, Christ calls us to rest, and 'helps us' to find that rest in our lives.

The Godhead is so holy and ineffable and glorious. The glory of the Godhead is like shards of glass or ice: piercing, powerful, and even painful for those unaccustomed to the light; and we can only enter it with and through Jesus Christ our Saviour and Mediator.

When people accept God's call, and approach Him, some halt soon afterwards, being afraid that He will ask them to do uncongenial tasks, or make sacrifices they don't want to make. They do not really open their hearts to Him in prayer, for the same reason, and picture the Godhead as a massive fortress or walled city, with an open door they do not want to enter. They do not discover, therefore, all the joys and delights found inside by God's friends.

People who are trapped in their sins have no lasting happiness. Those who are enslaved by particular sins or bad habits have confined themselves to even greater isolation and futility. All need the 'outside help' which is God's grace, to achieve freedom and true joy.

To live on earth is to be surrounded by disasters, and to be called to undergo our own trials, hence the importance of knowing that we are all brothers and sisters, all in need, all able to help one another.

We should never doubt the love of Christ. He forgives all our sins and failings if we turn to him with trust and contrition.

Christ offers comfort to everyone; but if we refuse to draw close to Him we cannot receive his help

If we put our trust in Christ our Saviour, even in difficulties, it's as if we are speeding ahead on a clear road to holiness. If we try to do our own will, not God's, we are bound to make unwise decisions, steer badly, get into trouble, and even damage other lives.

Looking 'back' to the faith lived in a medieval village, we can be certain that the faith remains unchanged in its essentials

Many of Christ's brave friends have suffered mockery, imprisonment and death, in order to remain faithful to the teachings of His Church, and out of love for Him.

If we claim to be walking on a path towards Heaven, how many unnecessary things on the way are distracting or corrupting us?

The Lord grants the graces of repentance and conversion in different ways, to different souls. This is not only to assist different personalities, but also to show out His own power, His patience, His generosity, and His wisdom. We must persevere in prayer for others, even when there seems to be little hope.

God the Father looks on with infinite kindness whenever a person who has failed in virtue has then repented. It is just as when the father greeted his son with extravagant delight, in the Gospel story about the young man who wanted his inheritance.
