In the Adoration Chapel on the morn of Christmas eve 2014, the Lord spoke interiorly to my heart.
Dear children,
It is the greatest day of my arrival in Bethlehem. If only the people would believe!
I arrive in all humility, yet in all power and glory.
On this eve of My birth, I bring with Me graces, favors, and mercies to all people from lowly shepherds to the kings of this world.
No one is excluded, yet many do not recognize Me, nor accept My many gifts.
Open wide your hearts, dear children!
Set aside all your worries and concerns.
I come to bring peace and justice to this earth.
I come to bring love to all people.
Open your hearts, open wide the gates. Let your Savior enter, the King of all ages.
The star of Bethlehem still shines brightly to announce My virgin birth.
All peoples draw near to worship and adore your Lord and God.
I come to set the captives free.
I come to heal My people.
I come to set your hearts on fire for love of Me and all people.
Come, come open your hearts and receive all the gifts I am holding in my hands for you.
Come and adore Me.
I am the Prince of Peace.
I am the truth and the life.
I am the light of the world.
Dispel the darkness, come into the light and be blessed. Come!
Prayer:
Lord, come into our hearts this Christmas in a new way. Stir in us a great love for You and a desire to adore You with all our hearts. Dispel the darkness and beckon us to come into the light. We ask for your blessings, Precious Savior. Watch over us and our family members. Mother Mary, we thank you for saying "Yes". Magnify our prayers and carry them to heaven we pray. Father, we ask this in the powerful name of Your Son, Our Lord, Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen +
Merry Christmas!
