The December 24, 2020 Reflection – Oh Holy Night!

Oh Holy Night!

December 24, 2020
Christmas Eve

Dear Family of Mary!

Tonight little Jesus is born.  This is the night to remain in silence and peace, awaiting the coming of the Savior.  Our Lady gave us this message in 1998.  It may help us to focus on prayer today. 

December 25, 1998 “Dear children! In this Christmas joy I desire to bless you with my blessing. In a special way, little children, I give you the blessing of little Jesus. May He fill you with His peace. Today, little children, you do not have peace and yet you yearn for it. That is why, with my Son Jesus, on this day I call you to pray, pray, pray, because without prayer you do not have joy or peace or a future. Yearn for peace and seek it, for God is true peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

And here is a short Litany to the Infant Jesus. Pray it slowly and with great love. We have so much to ponder and praise the Father for:
