The Lord showed me St. Bernadette, who is blissfully happy in Heaven now, with the other Saints, after her short and painful life. All who love God and sincerely try to live as children of God as she did can hope to spend eternity in bliss, with the Holy Trinity.
No sick person should believe that he is 'useless'. The Lord invites each one to prepare for Heaven, to practice patience, to pray simple prayers and to trust in the love of the Holy Trinity.
Christ our God is Present in the sanctuary, with the Saints who now live in His love. He longs to welcome His friends, and to pour His graces upon us - and also reaches out to those who have not yet surrendered to His loving Will.
Christ is Really Present with us in the Blessed Sacrament. We are just as close to Him, in Holy Communion, as were His friends, when they sat beside Him in Galilee.
The Holy Eucharist, which is Jesus Christ Really Present, is such a great and holy gift that two Angels accompany the priest as he carries the blessed Sacrament to us, for Holy Communion.
It is sometimes right, the Lord said, to give a brief, quiet reminder to noisy people, that the church is a place for prayer, and not for chatter about everyday matters.
The food God makes available to us should be seen as fuel for our journey on earth. We should have neither too much nor too little; and if it is of the wrong sort we shall damage our bodies as surely as a car is harmed when the wrong liquid is poured into the petrol-pipe.
To love Christ, to know Him, to depend on Him, and to trust in Him in every circumstance is to allow Him to fill one's life with His light, which can radiate outwards to enlighten other people.
We who are members of the Church are on a 'journey' of pilgrimage together, from earth to Heaven. It is sometimes necessary to make comments or suggestions on the state of the vehicles used, or the management and care of the needy, but not to berate individual clergymen.
At every Mass, Christ intercedes for us to the invisible Father, as all the Saints look on from above in wonder and gratitude

It was an earnest request from the Lord: "Tell everybody who will listen" - that Jesus our God and Saviour is truly Present at every Mass, 'hidden' in the sacred species, and praying just as He did on Calvary, for sinners.
Christ is pleased when we make great efforts to attend Mass and receive Him in Holy Communion, even battling through snow and difficult circumstances to reach the church.
The Lord showed me that thousands of Saints in Heaven live in perfect peace, in blissful enjoyment of the beauty of God, united in praise of the Father and in love for one another.
There are all sort of trials that must be faced by Christians who are trying to be faithful. This should not surprise us. Christ was not surprised by the jeering crowds who lined the streets of Jerusalem as He staggered along the road the Calvary.
It is possible to bear constant heartache 'side-by-side' with spiritual joy, as Jesus Himself experienced in earthly life. His heart ached whenever people showed misunderstanding or malice towards Him, yet He remained in blissful union with the Father.
A Christian who cannot be bothered to say regular prayers is unlikely to become a great Saint, unless he changes his attitude, rather as a sportsman who cannot run around the track every day, as a minimum, is unlikely to be able to enter the Olympic Games.
Christ greeted me with His arms open wide in a loving gesture, showing His delight, on my child's birthday, that I have welcomed every child I have conceived, and have been grateful for God's gift of help.
Christ told me how much joy it gave Him to see me full of wonder at the gift of life, each time I was pregnant. Each time I celebrate the birthday of one of the children, I find that Christ shows me anew, in prayer, how He delights in my gratitude.
