The painful purification which souls undergo in this life (if they consent) is like the pains of Purgatory, before 'birth' into Heaven.

Many stages of purification are needed to make a sinful soul fit for Heaven, able to bear Heaven's light.

Our soul is like a cave hidden deep within the earth. Its walls are of solid 'rock' which is selfishness. Faith makes a way 'up'.

Within a 'surrendered' soul, Christ's own pure, wordless praises and intentions stream to the Father, unimpeded.

Held in Christ's embrace, the soul turns towards the Father above, united in the Spirit's love, and welcomed. The whole Trinity is at work in the soul.

When the 'vessel' which is the heart wholly opens to God's will, it is purified. His divine life and love and wisdom are poured in.

Christ, the truth, is shining out towards each soul. A pure soul, like a crystal, receives many virtues. A dark and sinful soul is not penetrated by Christ's light, but is like a rock.

A generous soul is willing to allow God to work through that soul's intercessions. By prayer, that soul harms no-one, but, rather, opens a 'floor' to rain down good things upon the entire world, in contrast to those who 'rain down' bombs.

Through faith and contrition, my soul was changed as from a cavern to a cathedral, ready for worship.

Christ is the doorway through which we can touch God, and repentance is the 'doorway' which opens our own soul.
