Personal prayer, in our 'secret room', is never made alone; through Christ we are present with the whole company of Heaven

Christ came to earth, to be born in poverty, for our sakes; yet we need to feast as well as to fast in His Church. We feast on His birthday, for example, in preparation for the Eternal feasting which takes place in Heaven, in an eternal celebration of His Love.

Christ awaits us at the tabernacle, as if at the 'Doorway' to Heaven. If we make efforts to abandon our bad habits and weaknesses, by His grace, it's as if we push aside some of the clutter which might have hindered us on our journey to Glory.

We find the greatest joy in meeting Christ at the tabernacle when we have removed the rubbish - our failings - that clutter our path to Heaven.

When priest and people all face in the same direction at Mass, they are all looking together, towards the Father, to praise Him through Christ.

When the praise of the Church on earth, with and through Christ its Head, rises up to Heaven, it's as if Heaven is startled and delighted - so powerful and glorious is that praise. It 'explodes', as when the light from thousands of fireworks explodes during a national celebration.

There are important truths to be believed by all who profess to be practicing Christians: that God-made-man, Jesus, lived among us, in history; that He spoke with authority as well as love; that by His Resurrection from the dead He proved His claim that 'The Father and I are one'

Through our Baptism, we are adopted as God's children. We have a right to be heard in prayer. We can be as confident before God our King as an envoy who addresses a great earthly King saying: "Here are my credentials. I know you will hear me". Christ guarantees we'll be heard.

In faith we can see a blazing light, high up in church above the sanctuary. There, in heaven, the Father sits in glory, a papal crown upon His head, as He gazes upon everyone below who praises Him through Jesus Christ at Mass.

Through the one Sacrifice of Christ, re-presented at every Mass, we are united with the Heavenly Court and the souls of Purgatory

When a new saint arrives in Heaven, the whole company greets that soul, with Christ and his mother Mary. Then the new arrival is led through the throng - like a Queen at a garden party - to meet many old friends and companions, and many Saints who have been an inspiration and example.

When a faithful soul enters Heaven, she is made happy by meeting not only Christ and His Mother Mary, but also the particular Saints whose example have helped her.

In a picture of the Court of Heaven, where God the Father reigns in glory, Our Blessed Lady is placed on the steps which lead to the Father's throne. There, she is honoured, as Christ offers His Eternal Sacrifice to the Father, in the Spirit, and also honours the Saints.

Christ is swift to comfort us in our difficulties. In Holy Communion, He rushes to wrap us in His love, with tenderness and deep concern, just as a rescuer rushes towards an abandoned child, to cover her in a warm blanket and hold her close to himself.

As well as ensuring reverent, beautiful worship of God, Christianity, properly practiced, makes society flower, with mutual help, care for the needy, beauty, joy, human advancement and freedom.

The Heart of Jesus Christ our Saviour is so vast that it contains the whole universe, our world, and everyone on it. He loves every person with a deep, fervent and tender love. He prays for each of us today with as much fervour and power as when He prayed on the Cross.
