| Christmas Message | ||
|
May our Precious Jesus bless all of you
and all of the members of your family. Behold an Angel bright, sent from Heaven with a message; "God the Father wills that you Mary, a virgin, be the Mother of His Son, the little child Jesus." She responded; "I am the servant of the Lord, be it done unto me according to His will." (Luke 1:38) Unto us a child was born, the little babe born on CHristmas day. He brings to us gifts of peace, love and joy. That is our Christmas wish to all and that you be open to receive these graces with faith and hope. Let them descend deep in your heart so that you can pass them all to others as you gather with all your loved ones during these special times. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

My Little Ones |

My little one, I have chosen a weak little instrument like you to carry my
love, to carry my words; it is because they do not know me. But, my weak and little
ones do. It is with weakness that I comfound the strong. |

You know life in Christ resembles a baby. Before he can walk, he has taken many small steps. It is like this in the Christian life. We must take many steps … small steps … like the baby who falls and tries and tries again. It is in trying that we capture the Heart of the Beloved. Yes, Christian life is like a baby. He puts his trust in his daddy. We too must put all our trust in our Daddy, Abba, Father. Our Big Brother, Christ, gave us the example in the garden. Father, if it be your will, let this cup pass me by. (Matthew 26:39) It was a big cup that our Beloved drank from. To think about it makes one want to cry. We have to try to be in constant prayer, in our action with our lover, the Lord, Jesus Christ. I am sure you have heard that the best things in life are free … yes, Our Beloved is free … and He is for real. You can take that to the Heavenly bank and bank on it! Jesus said to me in the Chapel, "My daughter, you will know the cross, you shall wear it in your heart … and help other to carry theirs."; and that is for everyone. No one can ever disturb the love affair that is going on in the heart, no matter what they say about you or do to you. Of this I am convinced. God, Our Father, will grant us the grace to walk right through the glare of our enemies knowing fully what has been said about us or done against us. The grace to walk right through the glare wearing a smile and being able to give them love … His Smile, His Love. At times ministry has thorns but just look at the Beloved. They nailed Him to the cross. At least no one has gone that far with us. Persecution Persecution and rejection
is a beautiful grace for they keep you little. God the Father is closer to the
persecuted and the rejected. Was not His only Begotten Son persecuted and rejected?
The Father is closer to them for they remind Him of His rejected Son on the cross.
In persecution, I learned that no matter what is done against you, or said against
you, we have our best defender … The Holy Spirit! Peace Be With You |

| The Holy Spirit Is With Us | |
| Prayer is needed daily for the
purification of the Church, the conversion of the whole world we live in, as well as, for
the souls in Purgatory. The Holy Spirit is alive. He is healing and saving His
people, renewing them by His love. We must pray without losing heart and pay
attention to each word we say. We must live by faith and not by feelings.
Blessed are those who realize clearly, in time of joy, in time of sorrow, in time of
stress and in time of pleasant living that faith is not a feeling. There is no place in Scripture that says "Your feeling has healed you", though you will find words "Your Faith has healed you". It takes deep deep faith and trust in Our Beloved Jesus to patiently wait, believing deeply in our hearts that in our needs God will come to us just as He always does … not one minute too soon … not one minute too late, but precisely on time. I really and truly love Jesus. He is my life. In my own town a lot of people do not understand me, and do not understand that Jesus must come first. Besides, this earthly life is only for a very short time compared to eternal life. |

If we do not work daily in prayer to ask our Heavenly Father to increase our faith, it will stay the same. It will be like a boat without a captain … it will drift backward with the current of this secular world we live in. When we don’t work for an increase of faith, at such times, faith, like all other virtues, is quite numb and asleep. It is not lost, for the soul has a firm belief. Though it can testify with the mouth, it seems in other respects to be oppressed and stupefied and it feels as if it knows God only as something of which it has heard. So lukewarm does it’s love become that if it hears Him spoken of, it listens believing that He is who He is because this is held by the Church. A soul, which has gotten to this numb and asleep stage, is lukewarm. Daily, we are to ask the Heavenly Father for an increase of faith and never should we let a day go by without saying "Thank you, Father, for the gift of faith". A child that does not ask daily for an increase of faith will not grow as it should. He will become numb and asleep … lukewarm. Faith is a gift and what do we do when we receive a priceless gift? We thank the giver. In this gift of faith, Our Father is the giver and we just take it for granted. This is a great danger. For the Love of God, let us not forget to say each day "Thank you, Father, for the gift of faith. Father, increase your faith, love, peace and joy within my heart and soul. Father, give me a forgiving heart". A child that does not have a forgiving heart will not possess the peace of God. For a heat that does not forgive is at war with a brother or sister, a father or mother. War and peace, love and joy of Our God do not go together. No matter, we must forgive. Sometimes only by going through the heart of Jesus can we forgive. Jesus is a true friend. He is a pleasure to be with, joy to the heart, refreshment to the soul, sweetness to the heart and a pleasure to hear the sweet name of Jesus. I mean what I say when I describe all of this as pleasures. And, it has a lasting effect on our soul. When we ask for an increase of faith daily, God immediately infuses His Holy Spirit into it and produces a faith that is living and strong. It gives great strength to the soul. The soul then strives ever to act in conformity with the doctrine of Our Church. It then becomes so embedded with the Holy Mother Church doctrine. Just like the water added to the wine which represents us, the faithful. One can no longer separate the water from the wine. The souls which God infuses can no longer be separated from the doctrine of the Church … they become infleshed, that is to say, as one. God loves us so much that as human beings we can not comprehend the depth of His love for us. God loves you … this is the most important truth of Christianity. We must know it in our hearts, not just in our minds. When we stay at the levels of the mind it will not take root. For many things of the world roll and roll in the mind … the mind is a battlefield. We have to know it at the level of the heart ... that God Loves Us. When we take time to be with Jesus daily and thank Him for the gift of faith … we should repeat in our heart "God Loves Me. God Loves me … a sinner." You know, each passing moment is a grace from our Lover, Jesus Christ. Nothing is lost, of that I am convinced. Once, I was in prayer and felt that I had nothing to offer to Him. I did offer my unworthiness and I heard clearly in my heart, and He called me by name, Don’t get hung up on your unworthiness. Just accept life as it is. Trust Me. Offer Me your sins. To me that was a powerful message. At that time, I was hung up on my unworthiness. This was not long after I had received a healing. And, I believe that being hung up on my unworthiness was a blockage. My Spiritual Director at the time said it was because I had been so rejected in my life. I just love to be with people who love to talk about Jesus. He is my favorite subject. Jesus was my special and favorite playmate. I used to take Jesus to bed with me … and Charles had to move over because Jesus was in the center. Of course I had never told Charles why I insisted on having at least a foot of empty space in the middle of the bed. About 3 to 4 months after I got healed, I told Charles about it and he said he had figured it out after a few years. The Father gave me a great big gift in Charles. He is a very good man and I love him dearly. I have seen the Holy Spirit of Our God infuse Himself in Charles. My parents were very holy parents … in my 33 years of sickness Jesus and Mother Mary were my 2 best friends. I never never could have made it without them. I could write a book on the love of Jesus and Mother Mary. When you are sick and the doctor says; "I can no longer help you", Jesus and Mary will. You know, if you talk to them about all of your decisions and your problems daily, I am convinced that you will hear them in your hearts. This is one thing, I do not pass a day without inviting them into my life. Mary cooks with me and Jesus shows me the way. Try it for yourselves. Just do not take my word for it. What a nice Christmas gift to Jesus and Mary it would be if you make a habit to invite them in all that you do. Your life will be changed, believe me. Let Us Pray Oh Holy Spirit, Soul of my soul, I adore You. Enlighten, guide, strengthen and console me. Tell me what I ought to do and command me to do it. I Promise to be submissive in everything you ask of me and to accept all that you permit to happen to me, only show me your will. Cardinal Mercier Peace Be With You |

God Is Calling You ... Do You Hear Him? |

Dear Friends in Christ, |
 |

Your Sister In Jesus Christ,

| May The Peace Of Jesus, Our Savior, Reign In Your Hearts | |
Jesus Is always near you as you cry out to Him. He hears the cry of your faith. We need to be attentive to the inspirations of grace we receive through prayer and silence. One must not look for the marvelous nor always wish for huge things. It is in simplicity of heart that Jesus manifests Himself and through the total silence of our entire person that Jesus, so gentle and good, with great love and great mercy for you, makes Himself known to His children. The Soul who asks with faith and sincerity is always heard. Never does the Eternal Father dismiss a prayer from His children who love Jesus so much. We must know how to wait for His own time; we need to know in our hearts because He is our Savior. We need to talk to Him like a child speaks to the Father because He is indeed our Father in Heaven. It is evident that prayer is the way to go for us to touch the Heart of Jesus, especially silent prayer. It is then that the dialogue with Jesus is more powerful and intimate. Silent prayer with Jesus is my refuge in the suffering moments of my heart. By ourselves, we have nothing and we are nothing; our dear Jesus is everything. |

| If a soul revolts against Jesus, it's heart is
wounded on account of this revolt. Look with how much love Jesus leans towards this
soul when it stood wounded by sin. All the way to the cross Jesus has inclined
Himself with more love and attention for the sinner. A revolting soul is under
drought and in the clutch of the devil, sometimes on the road to hell. A lot of prayers are asked of us for the church in these difficult times. Yes indeed, a lot of prayers are fasting, the prayer of the body, along with sacrifices. We all must want to share our Big Brother with everyone, and we all know that many also love this Big Brother of ours, Jesus. Yes indeed, that is why we must all want to share Him with great, great joy in our hearts. In Gethsemane, this Great Brother cried out His prayer. Yes, the prayer which delivered God The Father, the struggle in His heart, on this night of prayer, in Gethsemane. In life, we also have somber nights, nights of struggles. Jesus has seen each soul crying out in prayer and He has placed each one of these souls in His heart. This Big Brother, who is our divine love; Jesus our Big Brother takes us by the hand and on our way with Him, while crying, sometimes our heart hurts. Sometimes we want to share this Jesus with our spouse. Sometimes we find that we tire our acquaintances and our hearts continue hurting. Sometimes we cannot share Him with our blood brothers and sisters whom we love and that really hurts. When these children become adults, sometimes we share Jesus with someone we should not fatigue. Jesus is our refuge when our hearts are hurting. The love of Jesus is sometimes like the way of the cross. In the Stations of the Cross Jesus has left us an example. In each of the Stations we must take the time to meditate on each Station. When praying we invite our Mother in Heaven to walk along with us and Jesus. So likewse, thus the Spirit of God will reign in you to give you hope and joy. Yes, the Joy of Jesus and His Peace is our strength. Peace Be With You |

| Let Us Pray For Our Priests | ||
 |
O my Jesus, I beg you on behalf of the
whole Church; Grant it love and the light of Your Spirit, and give power to the words of
priests so that hardened hearts might be brought to repentance and return to You, O Lord.
Lord, give us holy priests; You yourself maintain them in holiness. O Divine
and Great High Priest, may the power of Your mercy accompany them everywhere and protect
them from the devil's traps and snares which are continually being set for the souls of
priests. May the power of Your mercy, O Lord, shatter and bring to naught all that
might tarnish the sanctity of priests, for You can do all things. Amen From the Diary of Sister Faustina (Page 1042) |

Food For Thought |
Melting of Hearts A flame of love which melts
the hardest of hearts, is the flame of the Holy Spirit. A flame which melts but does
not cause pain is the flame of my beloved brother, Jesus. ------------------------------------------------------------ The best things in life are
free, coming from God Our Father because God loves us. If we do not take the time to
be with God, we are missing out on the best things in life. Though we work hard for
the things of this world, to put money in the bank. |
