If you are having a profoundly Catholic Christmas, then you realize that the celebration of Christ's birthday is still ongoing, and just having turned the lights on to symbolize the coming of the Light of the World, they remain on through the eight day celebration for our King.
REMEMBER THE REASON FOR HIS COMING
Jesus came to save us, and He just keeps coming and coming and coming and coming. Have very personal, very intimate, and very powerful encounters with Him while praying before the Blessed Sacrament, during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, when unified with Him in Holy Communion, while kneeling at the foot of His Cross while making Sacramental Confessions, and when praying during Eucharistic Adoration and all throughout your days and nights.
Accept our Lord's magnificent offers of salvation and sanctification. Live a sacramental life of heroic virtue and allow our Lord and Blessed Mother to use you as a tremendous channel of grace for the massive conversion of sinners.
SACRIFICIAL LOVE
Sacrificial love is the most powerful force in the universe. Sacrificial love is so strong that the bonds formed by it cannot ever be broken, and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it. Allow sacrificial love to bind your soul to God, forever.
Allow sacrificial love to transform you into a tremendous channel of grace for all souls through all time.
God is so in love with us all!
PROFOUNDLY CATHOLIC CHRISTMAS LESSON # 1
The Lord teaches us so many things, and will do so quite often if we ask Him to. When the student soul is ready, the Teacher appears and He is very, very nice.
Today's lesson takes place in an ideal setting, in church, during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Here's a sneak peak at what you will learn from the Master, because the lesson is so powerful you must first be prepared to receive it. Open your heart completely, and allow the Lord to fill you completely with His love.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL SIGHT
During Holy Mass prior to the Offertory, you see the Child Jesus standing by
the gifts. He is little, about three
years old.
All of a sudden, a great multitude of children appear and join Him in the center isle. The entire center isle begins filling with little children; soon there are so many that they extend mystically behind you, far beyond sight. They are approximately three years old. Jesus tells you that they are the Holy Innocents, the children whose lives ended because they were aborted.

JOINED BY A YOUNG AND VERY LARGE ARMY FROM HEAVEN
You are told that the children are there to help the living fight the battle between good and
evil.
A short while later as the gifts are brought up, the young children accompany the little procession to the altar. As the little ones reach the
altar, they gather around the front of it, so many small people!
They kneel around the front and sides of the altar and also around the manger scene. As Father tells everyone to lift up their hearts, all the little children lift up their hearts with great enthusiasm characteristic of the young, and also with great love and joy.
Children love so easily, and eagerly, with all their hearts. We must do all we can to protect such treasures.

THE CONSECRATION
At the Consecration, as Jesus' Blood pours mystically from His Sacred Body on the Cross above the altar, you see that the children have keys in their small hands. There are so many little children around the altar, holding on to so many keys! And they are all so happy.
You wonder where they are getting the keys from, and look around while asking our Lord, Jesus, where are they getting all those keys from?
Our Lord shows you that they are obtaining the keys from the Precious Blood pouring from His Sacred Body on the Cross.

THE CHILDREN PRESENT KEYS TO THE CONGREGATION
All those little children then leave the altar with their keys, and you see them going to the people all around you in the congregation. Watch in awe as they begin presenting the keys to everyone present.
Jesus, you ask our Savior, what are the keys for?
He tells you that the keys are for all the people that are being prayed for. Intercessory prayer is very, very powerful.

Those whose families, immediate or extended, lost children to abortion have those
very children come up to them and present keys to their family member(s) present in church. Others have children they are not related to but know or know of approach them and present them with keys.
Jesus tells you that the children are also presenting keys to those who are praying in church, and they are keys with special purpose. The children present these keys to those who are praying for others, keys that are for all those who helped end their lives.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE
The expressions of God’s
love coming from all those innocent little children who stand by every single person in the church and are presenting them with so many keys absolutely stuns you and is incredibly moving, as is your understanding that they are there to help others with such tremendous generosity and unconditional love despite what had happened to them in this life.
That makes all those little children who were victims very Christ-like. We are to imitate their examples and be Christ-like, too.

What
you are shown by Jesus and also the little children surrounding Him in the
manger and also Christ on the Cross above the altar is one very powerful
Christmas lesson, a timeless lesson for every single soul.
The children came to share the love of God and to help others. They know only love, not bitterness and hatred. The absence of hatred or bitterness makes it possible for the Lord to use them as very powerful instruments that change hearts, and lives, forever.

A CLEAR LESSON ON FORGIVENESS
During
this part of the lesson, the Lord tells you and shows you very
clearly that our refusal to be unforgiving, our refusal to harbor any
bitterness or hold
any grudges against anyone for any reason, is imperative and effective in
obtaining important graces for the people we pray for.
This is incredibly powerful and very often not understood; if we understood it, we would be constantly forgiving everyone of everything immediately.
Constantly forgive everyone of everything immediately.
LOVING LITTLE WEDDING ATTENDANTS
A REVIEW OF THE LESSON
Today the Lord sent the Holy Innocents in full force, and they presented everyone in church with very special instruments of love for all those being praying for and in need of prayer.
The little children were provided with keys from the loving and merciful Precious Blood of Christ pouring from His Sacred Body on the Cross during the Consecration.
The keys are for every soul through all time, especially for all those you pray for and those most in need of them.
Those keys unlock the chains that bind and hold souls under the influence of the demon captive. In other words, they provide the graces necessary to illuminate minds and warm hearts. The keys, the children, the people in church, and you are all God's willing instruments which He uses to illuminate minds and warm hearts.
Allow the Lord to use you to guide others to Christ and to His unfathomable love and mercy, which are available to every single person without exception.
THANK YOU!
Your prayers and sacrifices unified with all those of Christ during His life, Passion, and Death, unified with the unconditional love of hundreds of millions of those little children produce keys that lead precious, priceless, and immortal souls to God and to heaven through Jesus. Go, Team!!
The beginning.
