Asking Christ about how to love, he appeared to the eyes of my soul. I saw Him nailed to the cross, teaching that it is to this extent that we should love and serve others.

A married couple who really love one another, and really love God, want to do His Will, which is that they remain faithful to one another, and welcome any children who are conceived through their union and through God's gift of life.

Christ assured me that he looks on lovingly as I do my simple duties (as I write Christmas cards, or cook a meal) through love for God and 'neighbour'.

Love seized me, and showed me that He - our God - had 'sheltered' His own people from the clear sight of His glory.

It is love for God that 'counts' in prayer. Someone who gives his entire attention to God in love and reverence might find himself rising to the 'heights' with no effort, as if on a magic carpet - unlike those who try to storm Heaven with loud demands. The Saints lean down, to encourage us all to approach God with patience and humility.

There are many different ways of praying, and many different interior attitudes; what matters is our sincere love for God

The Saints and Angels are delighted by the honour we show them, as well as by our love for God. Angels and Saints are close to us in church, as we praise God Who is on high, above us all. Yet how sad it is that so many people don't know about the glory within the church.

A deep pool in a forest clearing is like the mystery of the Godhead. It is unfathomable, but we can still 'enter' and know God more deeply by study and prayer, by knowledge and love.

Christ, in His earthly life, offered the Sacrifice to end all sacrifices, though He deserved nothing but love, honour and glory. He allowed sinners to humiliate and kill Him, in order to show the depth of Divine Love. We, at Mass, can offer that once-for-all Sacrifice in reparation for our own sins.

Someone who speaks about Mount Everest is worth believing if we know that he has followed the right path. Someone who speaks about God and Heaven is worth believing if he or she has evidently followed the right path: by faith in Christ, love for God and neighbour, self-denial in order to do God's Will, and the surrender of selfish ambitions.

God is so great, and the earth so small, that nothing can happen that He has not allowed - even the worst things that people suffer. To have trust in God is a magnificent way of showing love for God, believing that He is good, and that good can come out of evil; trust of the sort shown by Jesus our Lord in His earthly life-time.

The evil one is at work, doing all he can to frighten, pursue or devour those who desire to love God and to do good. Whoever tries to do God's will is sure to be attacked. We must all pray for one another to the Lord.

Whoever is willing to abandon prayer to attend to a needy neighbour is, as she reaches out to help, reaching out to Christ, who looks on with love and gratitude. The greatest love for God is shown in doing His Will, whether in prayer or service.

Each of us must one day stand before God, to give an account of our life on Earth, for our 'particular judgement'. Each person who is a true child of God will enter Heaven, or be helped to prepare for Heaven. Those who have no love for God or their neighbour cannot enter Heaven or Purgatory. Their journey ends in the Abyss.

St. Francis of Assisi was fervent in love for God and for others, until the very end, speaking frankly about Heaven and Hell.

The Lord showed me little 'fires' of love for God, burning all over the world, especially wherever people praised God through Christ at Mass, with reverence, and particularly through the 'Ancient Rite'.

To slam a plate of food down, in front of another person, is to feed that person with little grace or charity. And to make the sign of the Cross in a careless or hurried manner - or any act of Catholic devotion - is to show little respect and love for God.
