The liturgy is like a huge ocean wave. If we actively plunge in, it can carry us to the shores of Heaven.
Along the Road to Heaven: It's better if we keep our eyes on the bright summit of the Holy Mountain than on the gloomy road below.
If someone remains united to Christ, on the pathway to death, Christ guides that soul on the narrow way, leading her by the hand into the Fire of the Godhead in safety. The 'safest' way of walking is to have no trailing sins, like flapping garments, which can catch fire.
As a loving father increases his child's joy, before a party, by asking her to wait, blindfolded, as preparations are made, so God might hide the joys ahead, for our good.
Christ's love for the Father, in its fiery delight, soars from the altar in our church, to the infinite heights of Heaven.
On Their Way to a Wonderful Country: The Church is like a group of thoughtful refugees who expect danger, flight and hardship. They carry what they need.
Our Blessed Lady appeared in a Radiant Light, close by us, delighting in our devotion as we all prayed the rosary, in May.
Truly, Christ our God is Present before us, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity: Present in glory at every Mass to pray to the Father on our behalf. He is the Living Bread, come down from Heaven, for the life of our souls. On the feast of 'The Body and Blood of Christ', we pay Him special honour.

By representations, in our sanctuaries, of Heavenly realities, people find it easier to pray: hearts and minds are raised to God.
On Our Lady's birthday, we hear of the many generations through whom God has brought His plan towards fulfilment; and He is at work in us, today, generation after generation.
Christ appeared, high up in the sanctuary, and sent down His Mother, to give me some Good News. 'Our Lady of Ransom' stood before me, with a crown on Her head.
God 'saw that it was good'. Nothing in creation lies 'outside' the love of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In all our travels, and travails, we are in His loving care.
The Cross on which Christ died is a worthy and apt symbol for Christians: a symbol of the love which brought Him to earth, even to death, for our sakes; and of His power. He Who rose from the grave can raise us up as well.
Love seized me, and showed me that He - our God - had 'sheltered' His own people from the clear sight of His glory.
Helping our Neighbour: Each of us should do what we can, in our circumstances, to alleviate the sufferings of other people, both by practical help, sensible planning and prayer - remembering our duty to those nearest to us.
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.
