Christ's Work of the Cross is the central point of all history: the point to which all things were leading from Creation; and the point around which each of us must gather in each new era - in the Mass - in order to speak as children to the Father, relying on Christ's offering and intercession, as we wait for the End of Time.

Whoever cruelly deserts their spouse or children is causing them to suffer as Christ suffered in His Passion, when He was heartbroken and alone. Christ said that whatever evil we do to others, we do to Him, just as whatever good we do is 'counted' as done to Him.

I saw a child who unwrapped a precious object. I must 'unwrap' the Mass for other people, to reveal the 'heart' of it. It is a living memorial of Calvary's offering: the very same sacrifice, now sacramentally re-presented.

As a monk labours, by prayer, example, teaching and kindness, to care for and educate children, he is helping to build them into a series of temples of the Holy Spirit.

In His power, God is more awesome and imposing than the greatest tidal wave which towers over men, women and children, and cannot be stopped, controlled or turned back by anyone.

It is no small matter, in Christ's sight, that many Christians don't complete their Christian initiation because their leaders have invalid Orders, and so children who have been baptised are not confirmed and do not receive Jesus in the Holy Eucharist.

Children' of God are at play in His Presence, it seems, amongst the tendrils of flame with which the Father reaches out from the great, bright fire of the Godhead.

As a man delightedly holds his grandchild on high, to delight the child, so the Holy Spirit causes His children to soar upwards in delightful prayer.

Anyone on earth can choose to call out for God's help, hoping to be heard. Yet those baptised into Christ and made adopted children of God now live in His Light. They can speak with God as with a friend. They have a sure hope of Heaven if they remain faithful to the end. Christ's Spirit, living in them, gives knowledge of God, intimacy and hope, and is a 'lamp' for the way ahead.

Someone who lives in a state of grace, with no aspect of his life 'hidden' from God's gaze through shame or self-will, is as if living underneath an umbrella of light, doing one good thing after another in the true freedom of the children of God.

The Process of Dying: Dying is a sort of labour. Christ is waiting to welcome each of His faithful children who will enter Heaven after a time in the 'womb' of earthly life.

Husbands and wives who use contraception and so deliberately 'shut the door' to the gift of children, are also 'shutting the door' to God's light and graces, by their disobedience to His laws and to His plans for their marriage.

In God's sight, our land is often like a desolate landscape with only few places where children are truly treasured.

The Church is like a bright home, full of life, in an almost deserted, snowy landscape. Where people really love life, and love and welcome children, they also care for the old and the sick - unlike many around them who work to extinguish life.

Where people listen to the Church, and thank God for their children, and put the needs of family before their own ambitions, a home is like an oasis of light; old people and the sick are valued and cared for, as if in an oasis of light amidst the gloom of an uncaring society.

If the Angel of Death were to appear over a country today, as over Egypt many centuries ago, there would be little need for that Angel to act, as so many parents, with the help of others, have already destroyed their unborn children.
