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.
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.
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.
Christ promised huge rewards for all who leave 'houses, lands or children' for His sake; and His promise holds true today, for all who put their trust in Him and believe what He has said on this subject of consecrated virginity or celibacy.
On the birthday of my younger son I saw Christ at the altar, His arms stretched out in prayer as He praised the Father for all the spouses who love one another and who welcome and love their children, and are grateful for the gift of life.
Christ, Who gives the gift of life, is horrified that tiny human beings, who should be treasured, are poisoned or dismembered in their mothers' wombs through abortion, and thrown or flushed away like so much garbage.

The Last Judgment, Part B, All peoples and all nations come before Christ to be judged
Christ showed me the hundreds of little figures in the great panorama spread before me. Many people were flying about, on leaving earthly life, some rising up to Heaven in amazement and joy, others falling with horrified faces into the darkness of Hell.
The Last Judgment, Part E, The whole history of salvation culminates in the Death and Resurrection of Christ, which allows us to cross from a life of sin to a life of grace in the Church
The Last Judgment, Part F, Without God's grace and mercy revealed in Christ, human life becomes a place of sin, sadness and desolation
Christ invites us to trust in His holy Mother Mary, and to ask for her prayers, especially under the title 'Mother of Perpetual Help'. Many graces are poured out upon the needy because of her intercessions.
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.
