The Church puts out living shoots of holiness to flower in every age. Those 'shoots' are the Saints who, alive with God in Heaven, are our contemporaries and beloved friends, even though they emerged at different times.

Someone who adores Christ in the Mass and longs to do His work can remain in spirit beside the Cross all day, with Calvary's offering in mind - making at each moment, with Christ, expressions of love to the Father, thanks for everything good, reparation for sins (patiently accepting trials), prayers for help and salvation for individuals, and prayer for the Church.

Before the tabernacle, we are in the Presence of the living God, whose Triune glory fills the Church. To be close to Christ in the tabernacle is to be close to the living God Whose glory fills the church.

The Church is taught and guided by the Catholic Bishops who are in communion with one another and with the Pope. God has given us the Pope as our bond of unity. Only those Bishops who remain in union with the Pope (who is like the gem-stone in a ring of stones) are fulfilling God's plan and providing, with the Pope, authentic leadership for the Church.

The Pope is so important that even if a large group of Bishops were to break away from him they would not undermine the essential unity of the Church or her teaching office.

The Church is the Body of Christ and we should not separate ourselves from it through disobedience, dissent or schism

Those who oppose the legitimate teaching authority of the Church and develop a habit of defiance are, perhaps without realising it, defying Christ Himself

Some of the beliefs and practices recommended today by Catholic writers and teachers are not in accord with the teaching of the Pope and Bishops.

"Would St. Paul Recognise it?" The Lord showed me the 'New Gospel' preached today by those who dissent from the Church's teachings, and who rarely mention sin or punishment, and speak as if it is easy to be saved, no matter how a person chooses to live.

The teachings of the Church should be followed by all Catholics; yet in the matter of personal devotions we can adopt a form of prayer or meditation that especially appeals to us, without having to adopt them all. A sensible person tasting a Chinese meal for the first time would try a little of most dishes, to see what suited them, without trying to consume everything.

Christ, through His Eucharistic Presence, is the 'point' of meeting or convergence of all who live 'in' Him, of the whole Church.

The Lord explained that through union with Christ, I am 'on fire' with praise, in church, in silent prayer.

The Saints and Angels are close to us in church, joining in the praises we offer to the Most Holy Trinity.

Just as a priest receives more honour when a perfect gift is carefully presented to him, not just thrown in front of him; so God our Father receives greater honour when the perfect sacrifice of Christ is offered by the members of the Church with reverence, than with haste or carelessness.

The All-Holy and Majestic God is present with us in our sanctuary, like a blazing fire that reaches out through the whole building

At Mass, it's as if a blazing fire of Divine love penetrates the church - love from the Father Who 'gives' His Son to us at every Mass. If we could see the flames, how reverent we would be, in the Presence of the All-Holy!
