On Our Lady's birthday, we hear of the many generations through whom God has brought His plan towards fulfilment; and He is at work in us, today, generation after generation.

The Truth About Sanctity: A man might foolishly try to impress a woman by his physical strength; similarly, a foolish Christian might try to 'impress' God by exhausting work and loud praises, instead of sincere love.

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.

When we forgive someone for a specific deed, God's grace is at work in us. His forgiveness flows through us, as water flows through a tap in Lourdes. Yet when we are so full of charity that love and forgiveness 'flow out' of us upon every thought and deed we are Godlike; for His forgiveness is like the water that pours unceasingly down a mountainside.

Even when we trust in God and try to serve Him, it can seem as if life is a puzzle, with unexpected and ill-fitting parts. If we persevere, however, we shall see how Christ has been at work to make a special pattern out of those apparent oddments, for a special reason.

Someone who adores Christ in the Mass and longs to do His work can remain in spirit beside the Cross all day, with Calvary's offering in mind - making at each moment, with Christ, expressions of love to the Father, thanks for everything good, reparation for sins (patiently accepting trials), prayers for help and salvation for individuals, and prayer for the Church.

Whoever adores Christ at Mass, and wants to remain with Him in spirit all day, can offer praise and thanks through Him to the Father all day, at work, as well as reparation for sin, and prayers for the needy

Some priests need much help. They are unwilling or afraid to teach the whole truth that they were called to preach and teach. Their work will be as unsuccessful as the work of an artist who, claiming to draw a camel, draws only three camel's legs, and one leg of a horse. The creature, if it could walk, would give an uncomfortable ride.

Whoever pauses in His work, to pray - alone or in shared prayer - can glance towards Heaven, where Christ reigns with the Saints in glory.

Each Divine Person is at work to draw a soul into the heights of union. Father, Son and Holy Spirit - One God - are lovingly attentive, and draw willing souls up high.

Christ is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. We please and honour God when we kneel to thank Him for allowing us to do His work on earth - especially priests.

We are not all called to full-time missionary work; but we should all hope to share our Faith by example and sometimes words. Brave Catholics, called by God to share the Faith boldly, are like charitable people who are willing to hand out maps, free, to passers by, because so many people do not take the road to the City of God, but the wrong road, into a cul-de-sac, in which they will never meet their King and Creator.

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.

Christ descended a great distance to join us in our world, yet He had the joy of being with a Mother who, though not divine, was pure and holy. It was fitting that she was lifted, body and soul, out of our sinful world, when her work was done, so that she might 'rest' eternally with Him Who had 'rested' with her.

The work of intercession is very important. By a single prayer we can - by God's grace - help a person in need just as when a man trapped in a gravel pit is helped when a rope is thrown down.

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.
