Christ told me that His message is simple: It is all 'about' love. Because of His love for each of us, He wants to draw us towards Heaven and save us from Hell. Hence His constant teachings in His own day, and ours, about repentance, change, and the sacraments of the Church.

On the feast of St Michael and all Angels I 'saw' the Angels as they waited in church before the Mass began, adoring Christ Who was Really Present in the tabernacle.

Even when Catholics in England are looked upon as being different from 'ordinary' people, as the Amish are in the USA, we must still persevere in our faithfulness to the Church and God's laws.

It is a terrible moment, when a person who dies meets God, and admits that he had been put on earth to love and serve God, and find true joy in Him, yet had spent most of his life totally ignoring God, and His Son, and His Church, and His wishes.

How sad it is, in an earthly home, when a child disobeys, grumbles, shouts, stamps, sulks, and lacks gratitude. That it what it is like in the 'family' of the Church when members grumble about attending Mass, disobey God's laws, contradict Church teachings and gossip about the Clergy.

It is true that the Lord sometimes sends special 'messengers' from amongst the laity to give praise or warnings from God, to priests and Bishops; the Lord also sends a 'special messenger' to the Bishops when He gives them a Pope of the quality of Benedict XVI, who is well-known for his orthodoxy and for his kindness to individuals.

It is the Lord's wish that our Bishops teach and reinforce the 'basics' of the Catholic life, which include regular and reverent Liturgical and private prayer, care of family and the needy, celebration of feasts and fasts, love for the Church, for the glory of the Holy Trinity, following Jesus.

As soon as I had received Christ in Holy Communion, I was shown by Christ that He stood within my soul, so to speak, praising and adoring God the Father above, just as I had been doing throughout the day, as I prayed, and offered up my sufferings, for God's glory, and to help the Church.

Christ wants us all to know how deeply touched He is, as He looks upon those who bear the Crosses which go with discipleship, with faithfulness to the Church and the sacraments, stable family life, and day to day witness.

Christ asks us to conduct a fundamental reappraisal of our current attitudes and actions to do with reverence towards Him. It is time that we acted as if we recognise Christ as our Lord and God, each time we enter a church or receive Him in Holy Communion or welcome Him into our homes in the Sacrament of the Sick.

Christ spoke at the Consecration of the wine, saying "I shed My Blood for them". He was speaking of the people in the Church who distrust His message and lead others astray, and show little appreciation of what Christ has done for us by His Death and Resurrection. They rarely mention these holy Mysteries.

We really do pray with the Holy Angels, They are present in the church, adoring God as we pray 'Holy, Holy, Holy Lord...' as we await the Consecration.

Christ is concerned for everyone and everything on our planet as He intercedes for us and offers His Holy Sacrifice.

In Baptism a person is made God's own child - 'adopted' - transformed, empowered by the Holy Spirit, made a member of the Church, freed from sin and made an heir or heiress to the Kingdom of Heaven, if faithful to the end.

Those who try to live independent of God, His Church, and His laws, are living as if on a sheet of melting ice. A broad road nearby leads to Hell, whereas a steep path leads to a fruitful land at the top of a mountain, which represents a state of grace.

The souls of those who live in serious sin, without following God's laws and the Church's teachings, are like a sea of melting ice, in which there is no hope of life; the souls of those in a 'state of grace', however, are like a land of fruit trees, cornfields, rivers and blue skies, far above the icy wastes, close to a mountain whose top lies in heaven.

From the fatherly love of God - like a pinpoint far in the distance, before time - has come everything good: Creation, life, God's plan of salvation, the Son Who died for us, the Spirit Who guides us, the Church which sanctifies us.

The teaching of the Catholic Church cannot be likened to the proposals put forward in a party-political manifesto, which can simply be discarded if the voters don't like them.
