Our determination to move towards Christ, even in difficulties, is like the determination of a child who struggles towards her mother, even when she can only just walk. Persistence is part of the journey.

When the bread has been consecrated at Mass, Christ is substantially Present on our altar, in all His glory. We offer Him the love and the reverence due to His Divinity, here in 'God's House'.

Time and space seem to vanish at the Mass, after the consecration. We are present to the once-for-all Sacrifice offered on our altar in a sacramental manner. We pray with and through Christ to our Heavenly Father, as if at the foot of the cross, with Mary, our Mother.

Illness gives us an opportunity to ask ourselves, as we think about the end of life: "Shall I meet God with a peaceful or a guilty heart?"

Christ showed me that all those people in the hundred-year-old newsreel are now dead, and are in Heaven or Hell or Purgatory. How many were aware that their behaviour had eternal consequences? And each of us alive today will end our lives with a meeting with almighty God.
