It is as if Christ's Cross is thrust through the narrow opening to Heaven, wedging it open so that Christ's friends may go in.

After the wine was consecrated, I saw the chalice which now held the Precious Blood; I saw the 'veil' parting, and Christ on His cross offering His Sacrifice.

There is nothing in one's life which cannot be seen more clearly, with marvellous results, when examined 'at the foot of the cross'.

Whenever I bow before the Holy Trinity, my Holy Angel does the same, just as He echoes every reverent sign of the Cross.

During the Holy Mass, it was as though a crack appeared across the sanctuary, through which I saw Christ on the cross.

Our vigorous prayers act upon the soul with great effect, as when a scourer is pushed across a grubby window pane.

Whenever Mass is clebrated in our country, it's as if Calvary appears at the heart of England. Those of us who did not live with Christ in his lifetime or stand beside his Cross in history can nevertheless unite ourselves with Him and with His once-for-all Sacrifice, as it is re-presented at every Mass, where Christ is truly Present, praying on our behalf.

Those who stay closest to the suffering Christ - then and now - by patiently bearing sufferings, are His greatest friends.

From the Cross, Christ saw the ways He would be betrayed in every future generation. Yet He also saw all those who would love Him.

In our union with God we are like children leaping across the universe, lovers playing, puppies tumbling

One who loves and serves Christ can 'touch' every moment of Christ's life, and can share even His journeys across the wilderness.

Christ offers from our sanctuary the same Sacrifice as that which He offered from the cross: a complete self-offering to the Father.

Christ is glorified by this miniature 'Calvary', as by any suitable model, image or statue for celebrating faith.

We can offer, to the Father, Christ's perfect prayer. Christ is the Word which is powerful enough to cross the abyss.

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.

Christ sees our behaviour in church - some bad behaviour due to ignorance, some due to carelessness or lack of love for Him. He does not take offense. He loves us all dearly. Yet when He sees how some people treat His house of prayer, and His Presence, it's as if He is on the Cross, being struck by His enemies.

Though we can see hints of God's glory in nature, we can only 'touch' God in and through Christ. Sin made a gigantic barrier - like a vast curtain across the skies - between Heaven and earth. Only Christ's Cross has torn away that barrier. Christ has made a way through: the Way that we find when we reach Christ and Calvary at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

I was given a glimpse, across the Abyss, of the infinite glory and majesty of God the Holy Trinity.
