It should be the aim of each Christian to climb the mountain of holiness, and to emerge one day from the darkness of sin to the 'fresh air' of life in Christ, in purity, amidst the flowers of grace - ready to greet Christ when He calls the soul to die, and to go 'Home'

A person who lives in self-love, greed, pride, hard-heartedness or any sinful state, who will not change, builds a 'brick wall' between himself and God: the God who is made Present in every celebration of the Mass

Since God has descended from Heaven to earth, to humble Himself, to save us, we ought not to show disrespect by missing Mass, or ignoring His Presence in the Blessed Sacrament

Christ made an amazing 'descent' from Heaven, as if across a vast distance, leaving the glory and holiness of Heaven to become man, to live amongst us, to die and rise again to save us from our sins, and to open Heaven's 'door' to all who believe in Him.

Those who cannot be bothered to go to Mass are guilty of more than just laziness, in God's sight. They are like those friends of Jesus who deserted Him during His Passion. And so it is, when His friends cannot be bothered to attend and pray at the Holy Sacrifice.

Those friends of Christ today who cannot be bothered to go to Mass act like those friends of Christ, long ago, who ran away when Christ was arrested and crucified.

Good people work to raise awareness of the immorality of neglecting the poor. Far fewer are raising awareness - for the good of souls - of another sort of immorality, which is unchastity in all its forms, and abortion and contraception.

When we sincerely repent of our sins and weaknesses it is as if a trapdoor opens above our head, as Heaven's light shines in, to bring us peace, light and closer union with God.

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.

At the 'heart' of the great fire of the Godhead stands the figure of Christ, like a second Adam. Christ stripped Himself of glory to descend to our sinful world: hence the Father's gift of an Immaculate Mother, to welcome Christ, and to be his 'home' in exile.

Christ holds out His hand, all the time, to rescue people from sinful ways. Yet He does not save us without our consent. A man 'stuck' fast in sinful habits need to put out his hand to Christ - to say 'Yes' to Christ - if he wants to be delivered from his terrible state.

The Pope, the Bishop of Rome, is the chief Bishop, and the focus of unity in the Church. From Rome, the Holy Father guides and teaches the Church, as his predecessors have done since the time of the apostles.

A person who doesn't give up all attachment to sins and weaknesses before death must - if he is saved - repent in the darkness of Purgatory. Nothing impure can enter heaven.

The journey of faith leads to light and joy, but we must be careful not to fall into the darkness through carelessness or pride
