MERRY CHRISTMAS 2022

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2022

Dear friends,

When the people of Israel in the Old Testament strayed away from God, God sent his prophets to bring back the people of good will to God. In these latter times, when people have strayed even further away from God, God sends the greatest prophet, his Mother. Few people listened to the prophets before Christ, and so today even fewer listen to Our Lady as our last chance to repent before the world crashes and before our judgment for all of eternity!

The next few years will be so horrendous that without God it will be impossible. God will help those who sincerely seek to discover and do the holy will of God, living the Ten Commandments with the help of God in prayer and the Sacraments, especially the Most Holy Eucharist. But those who do not do this, God will respect their free choice now and for all eternity!

“In these last times, the struggle between good and evil, between grace and sin, between God and Satan, is reaching the summit of its power.” (April 16, 1995; “To the Priests, Our Lady's Beloved Sons”)

In this period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21), “the Church will enter the glory of the kingdom only through this final Passover, when she will follow her Lord in his death and Resurrection” (CCC 677; Catechism of the Catholic Church, http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P1V.HTM). But “IN THE END MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH!” - Our Lady of Fatima, Portugal, 1917. There will be fulfilled the Protoevangelium (Gen 3:15) – Saint Louis de Montfort!

I would like to offer you the words of Our Lady for Christmas given to us by way of Don Stefano Gobbi on December 24, 1992 (“To the Priests, Our Lady's Beloved Sons”; http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/).

The Holy Night

The Morning Star

a "Beloved children, enter with me into the deep mystery of this holy night. Live it close to your heavenly Mother and to my most chaste spouse, Joseph. Live it in silence, in prayer, in humility, in purity and in love.

b I am opening for you the door of my Immaculate Heart, to have you enter and feel its beating, in these last instants which precede the birth of my heavenly Child.

c Each beat of my motherly Heart, in this holy night, becomes a sigh of expectation, a moan of desire, a spark of love, a prayer of quiet, a word with the Father, a transport of the Spirit, who comforts me in a profound ecstasy of life with paradise, which I see all enclosed in this poor cave.

d As night surrounds everything and deep darkness has come down upon the world, your heavenly Mother is penetrated with a most powerful light: my mind becomes absorbed in the splendor of eternal Wisdom; my Heart opens itself to the most ardent brightness of Love; my soul is penetrated by the ray of the fullness of grace and of holiness; my virginally inviolate body opens to the gift of my divine Son.

e With my motherly arms, I place in the squalid manger my heavenly Child, born in this night of deep darkness.

f But the stars shine brightly in the heavens, as the angels proclaim the song of celestial harmonies and the shepherds come to the cave to bring the homage of the simple, the poor, the pure of heart.

g Thus is the Infant Jesus comforted by the love which He receives from the little ones, even amidst the vast rejection of the great.

h And so, in the deep night which enfolds the world, the Morning Star opens to give you his light.

i My divine Child is the Morning Star, who shines with the very light of the Father, who brings his life into the desert of the world and of history, who gives a beginning to the new day for a redeemed and rescued humanity.

j `The true Light that enlightens every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, yet the world did not know Him. He came into the world which is his own, but his own people did not accept Him. A few however have believed in Him, and to these God has given the gift of becoming children of God. The Word became man and made his dwelling among us. We have contemplated his divine splendor. It is the splendor of the only-begotten Son of God the Father, full of grace and truth.'(cf. Jn 1:9-14)

k Beloved children, on this holy night, allow yourselves to be penetrated by his divine splendor, and become, you yourselves, witnesses and apostles of his light. Because the darkness is now becoming deeper, as the moment of the return of Jesus in glory draws closer.

l It is the darkness of the lack of faith and of apostasy, which has spread everywhere.

m It is the darkness of evil and sin, which has now obscured hearts and souls.

n It is the darkness of faithlessness and impiety, of egoism and pride, of hardness of heart and impurity.

o In this great night, the second birth of Jesus in glory is about to take place, a glory which, as morning star, willbrighten up the dawn of the new heavens and the new earth.

p For this reason, I urge you today to fight and, together with me, to gain the victory in the great battle of these last times, to assure that you may ever remain faithful to Jesus.

q `Do not seal up the prophetic words of this book, for the appointed time is near. Let the wicked still act wickedly and the filthy still be filthy. The righteous must still do right, and he who belongs to the Lord must consecrate himself more and more to Him. I am coming soon, and I will bring with me the recompense which I will give to each, according to his deeds.' (cf. Rev 22:10-12)

r `To the victors, who carry out my Will until the end, I will give authority over the nations, as I myself have received it from my Father, and I will give them also the morning star.'(cf. Rev 2:26-28)

s `I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for the Churches. I am the root and offspring of David, the bright morning star.

t `The Spirit and the Bride of the Lamb say: "Come!" And whoever harkens to these things says: "Come!"'" (cf. Rev 22:16-17)

SAINT PADRE PIO said: "It would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do so without the HOLY MASS." This saint also said: “The ROSARY is the weapon for these times”! A good CONFESSION (a Sacrament) is more powerful than an exorcism (a sacramental)! “One day through the Rosary and the (brown) SCAPULAR, I will save the world” – Our Lady to Saint Dominic (1214).

Jesus was born in extreme poverty and ended his life on the cross. We call ourselves Christians which means to be followers of Christ. Behold our way, behold our supreme example to follow!!! In this way we will not be scandalized by what is happening today in the world and in the Church, the Body of Christ.

It is not by chance that Jesus came into the world in extreme poverty and died on the cross. Jesus wants to know if we love only Jesus Risen, or if we truly love Jesus in poverty and in suffering!!!

Best wishes for a Holy Christmas with Baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Give great joy to Baby Jesus for His birthday (not ours!) by spending time with your family before Him in the Tabernacle with the Holy Rosary! Baby Jesus died for me; I pray to be ready to do the same!

BUON NATALE!
