When we pray with Christ a great flame of praise and intercession rises to the Father
A person who prays to God with a sincere heart, offering Christ's prayer and Christ's saving work, is making his own Christ's love and Sacrifice; and thus he 'inserts' himself into the life of the Holy Trinity, as a diver enters an ever-flowing and powerful river.
If we turn to God in prayer, wanting gifts, but are reluctant to do His will, we are like children who put out their hands but look away.
As only a powerful force can push away clouds above the earth, so only powerful contemplative prayer makes a 'way' for Divine Light to shine upon needy people.

When we pray with Christ we are protected by his light and glory
Christ and His Holy Mother are very close to us all, during our Novena and Benediction - to console us, and to hear our prayers.
When I pray: 'Help us poor sinners', Jesus and Mary respond with love and encouragement, as if from the 'edge' of Heaven.
We can offer, to the Father, Christ's perfect prayer. Christ is the Word which is powerful enough to cross the abyss.
The 'Communion of Saints' which we proclaim in the creed, is a reality. The saints are here with us, as we praise God. God and the saints delight in our prayers.

People who die whilst praying (like those who died praying the Rosary on the Titanic) are marching along a road which seems to lead to darkness; yet it's as if, by their prayer, each person carries a flaming torch on high which lights up the sure way to Heaven - even if the Way leads first through the Ocean.
It pleased Jesus to bring His Mother Mary to be with Him in the Lady Chapel, and to show me what I believe: that they are real people who love me and are touched by my humble and grateful prayers.

When we pray and suffer in union with Christ, we help souls as surely as when people are rescued from a dark tunnel.
Whoever praises God with sincerity, conviction and gladness soars high in prayer, confident of being 'held'.
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.
