Jesus said: “My people, you read how David saw the Ark of the Covenant was still placed in a tent, while he lived in a palace. The prophet Nathan told David how his son would build a Temple to house the Ark. Solomon did indeed build this Temple. In the Gospel Luke (1:67-80) Zachariah regained his speech when St. John the Baptist was named. He then gave a beautiful Canticle on how St. John the Baptist would carry out his mission to prepare the way for My coming among the people. You all are preparing to share your gifts tonight as you celebrate My feast of Christmas. Rejoice in My peace and love, and pray for peace in Israel and the Ukraine.”
Jesus said: “My people, I love all of you so much and I desire to save every soul, but you have free will. You need to accept Me as your Savior and repent of your sin in order to be saved. This life is a test of your love for your Creator. I give you the grace of My sacraments to remain true to Me throughout your life. When I call you to follow Me, you need to act like My apostles and say ‘Yes Lord’ and drop every earthly thing that is holding you back from loving Me. Say you are sorry for your sins in Confession, and I will forgive a repentant sinner every time. I have shown you how beautiful it is in heaven, so do not let the devil trick you into any earthly desire. Call on Me and My angels to defend you from the evil one’s temptations.”
