When we meet Christ we always meet the Father and the Holy Spirit. The Three Divine Persons are active and alive, and never separated, as they invite us to share in their life.
Christ our God was truly at work in the Creation of the Universe, with the Father and the Holy Spirit. At every moment Christ is all-knowing, everywhere present, all-loving and all-holy. We live in His love.

Whenever the Holy Sacrifice is offered from our altar, Christ Who is Present in sacramental form is praising the Father in the fiery love of the Holy Spirit. Christ is here, praying to the Father on our behalf.

A person who shares God's very life, through Baptism, and lives in a state of grace, can be certain that when she prays to the Father in Christ's name, in the Spirit, He hears and answers. How can He fail to hear the prayer of His own Son? In sharing the life of the Divine Persons, we share in Their loving responses to one another in the Godhead: hence our prayers are granted.

Whoever faces Christ, and says sincerely: "I'll do whatever you want", has begun the self-giving way of life found in the utterly self-giving love of the heart of the Holy Trinity
In church, we are on the threshold of Heaven, in the Presence of Christ our God. Although it is sometimes necessary to offer a quiet greeting or enquiry, it is not right to engage in idle chatter, e.g. about football results or holidays. It is the House of God, and we should want to pray there and allow others to pray.
Sincere praise, offered through Jesus, in the Spirit, to the Father of light, flies swiftly to the 'heart' of Heaven, as when an arrow pierces a cloud. Our prayers are worthwhile and effective.
God sees every good effort of human beings to serve Him. Sincere people in many religions reach out towards Heaven, to praise their Creator, however they picture Him, and in the hope of contact with Him. Yet the Catholic Faith is different from other religions in that, at every Mass, Heaven is laid open above us. Christ's power and Christ's intercession allow us to reach the Father, in the Spirit, through baptism and faith and the Sacrifice of the Mass.
God's gift to the sick is Jesus Christ Himself, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, One God - at work in this sacrament. The sick person has a renewed sharing in the life of the Holy Trinity, and so receives forgiveness, peace, spiritual joy, and other blessings, on being annointed.

Personal prayer, in our 'secret room', is never made alone; through Christ we are present with the whole company of Heaven
There are important truths to be believed by all who profess to be practicing Christians: that God-made-man, Jesus, lived among us, in history; that He spoke with authority as well as love; that by His Resurrection from the dead He proved His claim that 'The Father and I are one'
Christ's Holy Mother Mary deserved to be honoured; and there should be visible reminders for us, in our churches, that she who is in Heaven now, praying for us, is God the Father's holy daughter, the Spirit's faithful spouse, the Son's holy and loveable Mother, and our mother too.
As I pray to the Father, in Jesus' name, in the Spirit, asking for help for someone in need, I can be certain that Jesus too prays for that praiseworthy intention, with His whole attention, and His Spirit's love and power.
