The Lord told me that the Bishops, gathered together for a special anniversary celebration, presented an impressive picture of Episcopal power. Yet there are questions that each Bishop should ask himself, about his own oversight and teaching in his own diocese.

Christ showed me the place in Heaven amongst the Saints that He has reserved for one of the Shepherds of His flock on earth; yet there is more brave work to be done before that place is filled.

Then the Lord took my soul as if to the heights of Heaven, to show me that, from such a perspective, Earth is very small, and earthly life very brief; and so we who live on earth act wisely if we do good, out of love for God, while we still have time.

It is mainly because Catholic children have been so poorly catechised that, not knowing about Christ's Real Presence in Church, they chatter, shout, and misbehave, as if in a playground.

If people of another religion were to gaze into some of our noisy churches, would they believe - Christ asked - that our claim is true: that Christ our God is adored and Present there?

The Saints in Heaven are there because they did God's Will in earthly life, or did it belatedly, having repented; so Christ treasures our every act of obedience to His wishes.

In explaining His humility, Christ appeared to me, after the consecration, as the High Priest, robed as in ancient times. It was the feast of the Presentation, when He whose Temple it was allowed Himself to be taken within as an infant.

The Saints of Heaven are aware of the problem of sin. They pray that we will turn to Christ, put our trust in Him, and find grace to be worthy, when our work is done, to enter Heaven and join them.

The holiness of Heaven is so different from the sinfulness of earthly ways and attitudes that man cannot raise himself to those heights by His own power. He needs the grace freely offered through Jesus.

How many Bishops preach against abortion, the Lord asked, and against contraception, unchastity, desertion of spouses and neglect of children? Who do we hear much more about other less important topics?

Vocations have a 'seed-bed': wherever families believe and practice the Faith, love Christ and His Church, obey their pastors, and train their children, as they ought, to treasure their spiritual heritage.

Vocations to the Priesthood and to the Religious Life are plentiful where Catholics love Christ, the Church, and it's teachings, and do not regard it as demeaning to live in obedience to Catholic teaching on faith and morals.

There are many vocations wherever a 'high' view of the Sacred Priesthood is held, and where priests are seen as 'other Christs', with authority to govern, guide, preach, bless and forgive and offer the Holy Sacrifice.

Christ said to me: "Don't be afraid. Who will speak to them if you don't?" He was asking me to speak up frankly but gently about excessive noise in church, which is our 'House of Prayer'.

Christ was pleased that I had plucked up courage to speak, as He wished, about behaving quietly in church, which is a place consecrated for prayer, where He is Really Present with us.

For the sinless Christ to come into a sinful world, was like leaping into a cesspit; yet it was for love of us all that Christ endured the presence of evil, and the stench of sin, and the grievous sight of hard human hearts - so that He could bring Divine Love to earth.

Christ told me that by our Baptism, when we are washed clean of all sin, it's as if we are rescued from the dung-heap and raised up, 'to sit in the company of princes', in the Communion of Saints.

There is a great 'gap' between the holiness of Heaven and the sinfulness of many lives on earth. Whose praise reaches Heaven, and is worthy of the Father? Only the praise of Christ His Son, and of all who pray in His name.
