In the spiritual life, all who cease climbing, and choose to stay where they are, still have to complete the climb after death, if they would enter Heaven.
God 'is' our salvation. If we remain 'enclosed' in His life and live in a fruitful union, until death, we shall enter His glory.
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.
Through the Blood of Jesus: When we pray for someone 'in the name of Jesus' or 'through the Blood of Jesus', it's as if fire descends from Heaven, as God's grace is poured upon the needy person.

God loves, as His Creation, the whole of the natural world: bright oceans teaming with life, with whales' waterspouts, and waves glinting in the sunlight, as shoals of fish circle underwater. Flocks of birds soar through the bright sky in the sweet, breezy air, and His glory shines over all. God delights in our love for Him even more than He delights in His Creation.
Like Mary, we sometimes have to face the 'burial' of our earthly hopes; yet God can give us lasting joy if we put our trust in Him.
Declining health can be seen not as a descent - but rather a 'flight' with Christ, above former occupations, soaring towards Heaven.

A Statue in the Garden: Here, we can see Our Lady's open-hearted approach to God. She always asked Him: "What would you like me to do?"

A screaming child, incoherent with anger, needs to be left to realise his need of help, and to admit his foolishness. Our wise God gives rebellious adults opportunities for reflection. He does not force us to do His Will. He even allows us, if we insist, to separate ourselves from Him eternally.
It is the Holy Spirit Who is at work in every prayer we offer, and at work to effect the change which takes place at the Consecration, when the bread and wine became the Sacred Body and Blood of Christ. A dove is a symbol of purity and holiness, pictured here behind the altar, as the Spirit is at work in His Divine power, to give us the Sacrament of our Salvation.

As we face God's glory we are called to repent of our sins
A Stairway to Heaven: It was Christ who welcomed me at the start of the long 'climb' to Heaven, and who encouraged me to live by faith.

Like poor beggars, we need the help of Christ, who pleads to the Father on our behalf, whenever we pray in His name
