“My dear child, it will soon be Christmas and I desire that you begin to prepare your heart for the coming of your Savior, for the birth of his love within you.

Yes, rejoice for Jesus in his love will be present. And how do you prepare your heart- by offering great charity and hope, by offering the love of my son Jesus, to others.

Yes, my son, the love of my son Jesus is with you.”

‘I am most thankful, mother, that you gave your heart and life as a sacrifice of love to God.

Mother, why have you spoken about the birth of your son on Christmas so early?’

“Because I know that it is a joy for you.  And the celebration of my son’s birthday, of his coming, gives you great joy.

Yes, it gives you the joy of the love of heaven and this pleases me most, my son. When one chooses to live the love of the example of my Jesus, rejoice in his mercy and in his goodness that shall last forever.”
