A 'Ribbon' representing our Life touches and enters the 'sphere' of the Godhead. Our entire life's value, purpose and outcome can only be seen clearly when seen "in God", either in prayer or after death. Outside God is darkness.
During the 'Sanctus', Holy Angels, tall and radiant, bowed in adoration before the Christ who was about to enter our world.
Just as light and air pour into a hollow space beneath sand, God's grace pours into a soul 'hollowed' by acts of self-abnegation.
By our acts and words we can cause other hearts to open up to receive the free gifts or 'jewels' which God can place within.
At this shrine, the door of Heaven was flung open, Heaven's light poured into our darkness, and Holy Saints were eager to greet us.
When we honour God and His Saints, at a shrine hallowed by the Church or relics or martyrdom or custom, the Saints 'jostle' for the joy of helping us.

In the heart and mind of one who welcomes Him, the Holy Spirit is like a lamp, a source of wisdom and infinite power, and the means of prayer.

We can offer up our sufferings in union with Jesus in His Passion, to comfort Him, and to help other souls. Every suffering in our lives can be offered up, united with Jesus in that same type of suffering in His own life: our fear united to His in Gethsemane; our being misunderstood, with Jesus deserted by His Apostles; our grief, with Jesus weeping for Lazarus; our fear of evil forces, with Jesus being tempted by Satan.
Contrition is the 'key' by which our soul is unfailingly made 'open' to receive God's graces. True contrition is not grovelling self-pity but sincere regret-for-sin combined with confidence that God loves, forgives, and can make us holy and joyful.
God gazes into our souls as if into a rock-pool; through clear water He glimpses Christ, the foundation. But the 'mud' of sin obscures His view.
Christ is with His Church, during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying on our behalf. It is as if He is at the prow of a great ship, leading us into the mysterious embrace of God the Father, in the Spirit - preparing for our eternal home.

If our hearts are bitter and resentful, when Christ comes to us in Holy Communion, he feels as He did in His Holy Passion
During the Holy Sacrifice, thousands of shining, saintly faces gaze downwards at our celebration.
