We celebrate our 'Forty Martyrs': Yet Christ is the greatest of martyrs. By a word, He could have saved Himself.
Christ is honoured by us not by gifts: but by our consenting to be emptied and purified - like a lamp in which Christ shines.
Where a married couple really love one another, and love God, they want to do His Will. He wants them to be faithful to one another, and to refuse to use sinful means of seeking pleasure or avoiding conception. They can be sure, by their faithfulness to God's Will (even if this means abstinence, pain or heartache) that they offer an unmarred expression of love to their Creator and also to one another.

The suffering Saviour stands, with outstretched arms, to shelter repentant people; and the Father looks lovingly from Heaven, upon His Son.
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'.

It is as though Christ is so generous that He's like a vessel of precious ointment. A 'drop' of grace can effect change in us.
Wherever there are souls who are 'lit' by Christ's life and aflame with praise, it is as if God sees lights shining like diamonds across the earth.

When we unite our sacrifices to Christ's offering, other souls are helped - as surely as when an injured person is lifted high out of danger.
We can try to act towards Christ as this priest acted towards His bishop: alert, and willing at all times to be of service.

When we pray and suffer in union with Christ, we help souls as surely as when people are rescued from a dark tunnel.
It is the Will of God that we fulfil our duties towards our immediate family. If we neglect to feed and clothe them, we neglect to feed and clothe Christ, as He explained in His parable: "I was hungry, thirsty, sick and you did not help me".

The same Spirit who comforted Christ in Gethsemane can console us
