The Lord showed me the far horizons, and many of the other roads which people travel in efforts to reach God and Heaven. The one Way to Heaven is the Way made by Christ and shown out by His Church.
Because Jesus Christ is God as well as man, and Present amongst us at Mass, He is powerful enough to push aside the 'cloud' that separates earth and Heaven, and His perfect praise - joined with our praises - is offered to and accepted by God our Father.

Christ asks His friends to entrust themselves to His care and to His plans - just as if each of us were to step into a car, at Christ's invitation, to let Him drive us wherever He pleases. Christ asks us to accept His Will for us, whatever it may bring.
Christ showed me plainly that there is only one Way from earth to Heaven: the narrow way made by Him, so that all Who will trust in Him can follow the Way and arrive safely in Glory. Those who refuse to follow the safe Way inevitably fall, at death, into the dark Abyss.
When we are ill, and Christ comes to us in Holy Communion, it's as if He insists in helping us to lie down on a couch; and when He is sure that we are resting comfortably, He sits on the floor beside us, so that we can talk at leisure - or simply be quiet.
Christ is with us in Holy Communion, bringing comfort and consolation. Sometimes He must correct us, but He also actively encourages us, and rewards us, for following His way.
The Son of God was willing to descend from heaven, to die amongst sinners, to save us. His Father in Heaven prepared an earthly Mother for Jesus, to give him consolation in His exile; meanwhile, the Father could 'see' all the future saints who would come to him, through Jesus.
Christ sits beside us in the 'cavern' of our souls. His work can flower if we make space for him there.
Christ our risen Lord was Present above the altar, as if ascending from the tomb, His hands uplifted to the Father, interceding for us who believe in Him, our High Priest.
Christ was strolling amongst His Saints in Heaven, paying personal attention to each of them, with loving glances and gestures. So it will be for us who celebrate His Resurrection - if we remain faithful to the end.
Christ is with us as we honour His saints.
When someone is patient is suffering, forgives enemies, looks with compassion on those who act unjustly, and comforts people in need, then other people see - as if through an open door - a glimpse of another Kingdom, a way of life which is Christ's Kingdom and Christ's Way.
Pope John Paul II has been Christ-like in fearlessly speaking the truth about morals (as did Christ who spoke against divorce and adultery) whilst acting with great compassion towards individuals (as did Christ Who was kind to the adulteress).
Recent Popes, like their predecessors, speak the truth about morality. It is Christ who teaches us through them. They cannot invite us to sin, by changing Christ's teachings.
We imitate Christ, Who painfully climbed a stairway towards Pilate, as we ascend a holy stairway from earth to Heaven, trying by God's grace to remain trusting and faithful to the end.
There is only one Way across the dark abyss which separates earth from Heaven. Christ has made that Way, through His Incarnation, and from all that followed in His earthly life.
There have been may attempts made by men to reach Heaven. Everyone deserves to hear the good news that God has revealed to mankind, in and through His Divine Son, Jesus Christ, Who has made a Way for all to follow: a safe and sure Way to Heaven.
Christ is delighted if someone loves to receive Him in the Blessed Sacrament, loves to visit Him at the Tabernacle, loves to do His Will, and loves to tell others the good news about Him.
