December 24, 2022
This is a message inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Lucia: O Lord, today is a special day for humanity, for our century. We also witness the world in a state of crisis, fear, and tension with wars. We experienced many pandemics, and they are still affecting us. The world is in a state of insecurity, instability, and chaos.
O Lord, I thank You. The more civilized the world is, the more people should recognize that civilization is granted by God, to appreciate more, to love more, and to adore more. This world is civilized, but from that civilization, people have become arrogant and lost their days of cooperation and unity; they are arguing and living arrogantly with what they have. They forget the Lord God, who came to earth over 2,000 years ago and gave them the opportunity and a new doctrine, a new program that people need to receive to live in peace and to know the meaning of peace in life.
O Lord Jesus Christ, today, You remind us that what has passed in history has come true, a year that we still have the opportunity to recognize. The last days of the year are ending with many ups and downs, events, fears and anxieties, pandemics, and wars. But, O Lord, we only know that today, without You and without Mass to commemorate the event of Christmas, then we have no hope, and nothing has meaning in life.
We only want to be humble and simple, with a grateful heart when we meditate, because we are happy to be Your children, to have the Church. No matter what happens, we still have the Church established by You from the moment You came to earth until You concluded the work of salvation for humanity. Since then, we continue to be reminded each year of Christmas, the day You came to earth, the day God the Father gave His only Son to the world so that whoever believes in His Son will live. Those words have been with generations to this day.
O Lord, a year has passed with many ups and downs. We thank, praise, and glorify You because You preserve us through the tribulations and events for us to have this day. These are the moments to lift our gratitude with meditation, to thank for what we have. We are happier than those who died unexpectedly, those who were affected by the pandemic and passed away. Today, we thank You. We have asked for so much in our lives in the past year, especially this year. Today, I lift to You everything, all the events that happen. We are not afraid of these events but fear whether our souls and lives will be Yours forever. We rejoice to have happy days to celebrate the Solemnity like tonight.
O Lord, all this is not a coincidence. You granted humanity the opportunity to know the light that has appeared to shine in the darkness of sin, to lead people into the light and to the Supreme Being. We read in the First Reading: the wonderful Counselor has appeared, the Lord has come to man and will be with us, Emmanuel. On this great day, I thank God, on behalf of all classes and roles, the lowly, sinful, weak, wretched. I lift thanks and praises because God loves the lowly, the weak, and those who still do not understand. As for us, we believe in the Lord God, who loves us and gives us hope.
Today, we unite to offer prayers, thanksgiving, and gratitude. You especially granted us; we firmly believe the wonderful Counselor continues to give us opportunities. The happiest thing is to hear what happened over 2,000 years ago with the Mother whom God chose for us. All the deeds from Mother, great things that Mother accepted for us to have the Savior, the Lord whom we celebrate today – Emmanuel, God with us.
Today, through You, with You, and in You, we mature and grow in the grace and love of the Divine Mercy. Today, no matter which level we are in, fallen, weak, or sinful, You are still the Lord who came to save us, and we are forgiven and saved. May we understand and express our gratitude, be determined to leave the old way of iniquity that we are used to, and return to You, Lord God. We live in the hope that You granted us. Today, may we lift the offering as we do daily to thank You, praise You, and pay homage to the Infant Jesus whom we have been waiting for because You came to bring peace to us, the whole world, and faith to people in hope.
We lift to You everything we encounter in a tense world today. I believe that because You have come and listened to the lowly, the victims who are begging and lifting to You, You will never be silent, for You want to be with us, to comfort us, guide and intercede for us. God, give us more strength and courage to continue on the path of service and Your holy will to do what You want in the lives of each of us.
Now, we only have about an hour left; we must leave to go to church and attend the midnight Mass to celebrate Your birth. Now, we unite to thank, praise, glorify, and meditate on the First Reading, the Second Reading, and the Gospel in remembrance of what You specially dedicated through Your incarnation, through Mother’s womb. The path Mother walked with Saint Joseph was a path with no place welcoming them, and the Lord was born in a cave and placed in a manger.
Today, everyone has forgotten the signs of love. God accepted to be born into the world for us to have warmth and comfort like today. May we not forget those great favors to return to the Lord God, to speak to Him, to lift to Him, thank Him, and glorify Him. Especially on this Christmas evening, God, please open the eyes and hearts of the people we meet, and open our eyes to see our neighbors and fellowmen so that we may unite to worship You, love You, and return to You. May we know from within our hearts to offer the words that You await from every heart and soul. No matter how we are, let us believe in God’s love, belief in the Divine Mercy, to be sanctified and transformed. Let us believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Infant and the Savior of everyone in the world, to thank the love of God the Father with the grace poured out. He has done us a great favor, saving us. God the Father loved the world and gave us His only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Whoever believes in Him will live.
Tonight, we commemorate this event to remind us of what happened over 2,000 years ago, which is still vibrant in our faith, especially among Christians. Today, we rejoice and unite with our beloved Mother beside You. Saint Joseph and the Holy Family are precious to us. Together, with the heavenly court and the shepherds, let us worship and honor the Infant Jesus with joyous singing. In spirituality, we commemorate that sublime and marvelous event with the peace and joy we receive from the Infant Jesus. Now, we reverently offer.
We reverently offer the First Kowtow to God the Father.
O Father, I thank You. Today, we offer the Six Kowtows at home, and home is where You grant us to be at ease and to feel free, and we do not bother anyone. In today’s Solemnity, too many people are in church, and we cannot pray in the middle of the church or at the tabernacle. Many brothers and sisters came to visit You and come to the manger to meditate and thank You. So do we, but You reserved for us to stay with You in the house You made for us, and You have come to us this evening. The Eucharistic Jesus is present with us. It is a lofty spirituality that still appears for people to recognize the spirituality in the faith You granted us all these years. Your presence tonight has given us hope, with the light of love, and You have allowed us to be close to You, to lift our thanksgiving and gratitude to God the Father.
Father, many generations have passed, but You are still the Lord of love and mercy, who waits for people to recognize Your love. You sacrificed Your only begotten Son, Jesus. Whose does not love his child because there is only one child? Our heavenly Father so loved us He gave us His only Son, Jesus. Jesus obeyed and listened to God the Father and completed His mission. Jesus loves us and came to be with us, born as a human infant. Tonight is a glorious night. It is a night with the light shining from heaven to earth, with an eternal covenant in which we believe and belong to the Lord as He promised.
O God the Father, the greatness of the Almighty, no one can compare to You. You allow us to know You, honor You, and adore You. O Father, in today’s generation, You grant many things, and You want to reveal to us for us to have faith, a heart, and experience with the immortality of the soul. All thoughts and all good things are in the brain You give, but there is a spirituality You grant to us, which is our soul.
Today, no matter how many stories happen, through science and technology, people believe they are true. However, we only know one thing, no matter what happens, no matter how civilized, no matter how much people know, true or false, we know it all comes from You. All surrender and submit before You because You are the Supreme Being, the Supreme Being who rules over the universe. You created us and let us know that great richness. All of us adore You, serve You, and thank You. We thank the Supreme Being whom You sent us, our Lord Jesus. Thanks to You, Lord Jesus Christ; thanks to Your incarnation, presence, and holy name, for us to have this day.
Father, no matter how rich the world is, we are still children who worship You. I adore You, honor You, and thank You because You are the Supreme Being who rules over the heavens, the world, the whole earth, and also the Ruler over hell. Everyone must have a fear of You, love You, and do what You teach. Only traitors can neither act nor obey, so good and evil exist in the world. But You are still the Lord of love and Divine Mercy. You are unlike everyone else and teach us to reform and restore. You teach us to live in love and learn to forgive. You teach us the best that You give to us through Your Son. Today, the Infant comes into the world to bring peace to us, hope for the whole world, and peace for all, every soul in mourning and suffering.
O Father, may we give up everything in life with its agonies and extreme sufferings and rejoice tonight. May we always be aware because You sacrificed Your only Son, Jesus, who is the consolation, the hope for humanity. Jesus, You came to save us in the depth of our sins. You are the light to lead us to the end, to become children of the Father through You, the Lord Jesus Christ, whom we profess. May we thank and praise You on behalf of all classes and roles. This event makes us realize we have one more year in our lives and have more joyful Masses like tonight.
O Father, may we unite and rejoice to praise and glorify You. Words are never enough to thank You, but please accept these few words that we lift to You from our hearts, the heart of the victims, the lowly, and the sinners. Please forgive and sanctify us to belong to You and receive the Savior. Today, You come to give peace to each soul. May we learn to trust with what You grant us, to live worthy of the love and the Divine Mercy as You grant to us, yearning and waiting for us. We lift thanks to You. May we belong to You. Totus Tuus.
We reverently offer the Second Kowtow to Jesus.
O Jesus, our Savior, we bow our heads in adoration to honor You who returned after 2,000 years to commemorate the event that You came to earth, born into the world, taking human nature. You are the Infant Jesus we adore, honor, and thank. Tonight, may everyone recognize the Lord who, for love, became human and came to be with us. May all classes and roles embrace and contemplate the adorable, loving Infant Jesus so close to us. He is the Author of love, and starting life as a little newborn, the Infant Jesus was born amid a cold winter, sacrificing everything for us to recognize the Lord who became incarnate. He did not wear a royal robe, nor did he carry the title of a Great Prince, but He came in the condition of a most humble human being, the poorest person, to grant us today’s wealth.
O Lord, You are so sublime, so great! Who can sacrifice this for us, who can give us this? O Infant Jesus, today we bow our heads in adoration, we bless and praise You, and forever will bow our heads in adoration, with gratitude, praise, and honor to the Supreme Being who gave us hope, His love, stayed with us, lived with us, saved us, and became the everlasting Savior. Through this Savior, we have come out of the darkness of sin, to become children to call God the Father: Father, and to believe the Redeemer is the Savior of humanity.
O, Lord, in the glory of Christmas, the little Infant Jesus needs to be embraced, admired and recognized. O Lord, You started from love and came to us, all classes and roles, through a little Infant, an adorable Infant, an Infant who was a symbol of love that everyone wants to be close to and no one has the heart to refuse. An Infant was born to bring us the seed of love, life, and hope, the seed that heaven gives to humanity. May we be grateful to You, believe in You, and trust in You. May we recognize the Savior who came to earth in the lowest place. May each of us become the little straws of the manger for You to rest. May our hearts become a manger to invite You to dwell so that we may be sanctified and transformed in the love because our hearts are hardened, unfeeling, and indifferent, and our souls are dry.
Lord, allow us to recognize that out of love for us, You came to us and saved us. Today, the world is tense with all problems in controversy, with war, the pandemic, and suffering. May we realize these are the things we create for each other. As for You, You continue to keep Your promises. You continue to visit us every year through the event we celebrate so that we may remember that You came to deliver us from wars and pandemics, to recognize Your presence and intervention, and to rejoice in the love of the Savior we profess.
Let us stop with what always becomes a habit and our days become indifferent. Today, we cannot continue with the indifference that controls our lives with our souls and hearts filled with realities. May our souls have faith, a belief in the Savior through the Infant Jesus tonight, to change our lives and give us a new look so that we may not be afraid because You have come to save us and bring peace and security.
The first people to come to the manger were the shepherds to whom the Infant Jesus gave a favor. Today, we, the lowly have no voice, but we have the right to come to our Infant Jesus, like the shepherds of old, to come and worship, glorify, sing, and console the Lord God who, out of love for the world, was born in a cold cave in a winter night, and lived in poverty. We acclaim and praise the heavenly court. No matter how tense our world is, it can never stop the love of those poor shepherds of old, and the poor shepherds of our time to lift and offer our gratitude, thanksgiving, and praise: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of goodwill.”
Lord, we thank You, honor You, adore You, and thank our beloved Mother who brought You to us. I thank Saint Joseph for leading us to know the cave of Bethlehem, where Jesus was born, where the Savior saved all of us for us to exist. Through generations, there are still lowly people like us, and the words we listen to are through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We lift this true love as we adore, praise, and glorify the Lord, our God, now and forever. May we belong to the Second Person of God, our Savior, and the Infant Jesus of this night. Totus Tuus.
We reverently offer the Third Kowtow to God the Holy Spirit.
O Holy Spirit, You are love, light, and truth. Over 2,000 years ago, or forever, God is still the Lord with great might. You granted us and let us realize what we say to God the Father. We believe in the Lord Jesus and look back on His work of redemption by the incarnation in the beginning. Today, through generations, how can the lowly, lacking learning and knowledge, understand a wonderful miracle without Your teaching?
O Holy Spirit, You are the mighty Lord! You are the Lord who has made known to us great miracles. You are the Supreme Being who guides and helps us understand. You give us wisdom, choice, faith, and the best. You also teach us to distinguish between what is real, what is true, false, right, wrong, good, and evil. You are the supreme Almighty who gives everything and helps us understand what we need to know in the doctrine with the graces You bestow. You taught us to pray and inspired us to be bold and brave to profess our faith. You have given us an understanding of what to choose, and You give us the words to be lifted tonight. As long as we live, we learn to pray, thanks to You.
O Holy Spirit, You are love, light, and truth. You are the Holy Spirit who is with us. Your Spirit has shone in our hearts to cherish this night, its solemnity, a night to remember. No matter how many days, years, and times, we welcomed this event, the events of this year and in the present era are days we will forever remember. Please enlighten us and guide us not to fear the threat of war, not fear men who still dominate in a world by the darkness of sin, injustice, and unrighteousness. We see the cruelties, the arguments, the days competing to win, and the days denying God. But You are still the Supreme Being who lights up the path of righteousness, justice, and truth. Peace and happiness come from You.
O Holy Spirit, I thank You. Please continue to teach us, guide us, and change the face of the earth so that everyone may recognize what the Lord still grants us. It is also an opportunity for us to know how to express our gratitude and know Your closeness. The riches You give cannot be compared with the things of the world, learning, knowledge, and many marvels in life that people claim to be everything, but in reality, You alone are everything. Everything comes from you; everything in love, all the riches granted by You, and everything come from the Lord. May we belong to God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Today and tonight, we are happy to witness again what is ours, the Savior who came, the Savior who died for us, the Savior who was with us, and the Savior who continues to allow people to be close to Him, to receive His love. Your enlightenment helps us grow, practice, profess, and live a life with our meaning, the meaning of one’s human life, and thoughts on what it means to be a child of God.
O Holy Spirit, may everyone recognize to distinguish right from wrong, true from false, and goodness from evil. We need to repeat this daily in our lives. May we walk in Your light, Your guidance, and Your understanding. No matter how rich the world may be, there is no comparison to the Lord God because He teaches us justice, love, and the truth. The world seeks knowledge and what is in aspiration, but You teach us to give up aspiration and live a life with hope, love, truth, and righteousness. It is the happiest thing this evening as we praise the Lord who came to save us, the Infant who brought us such greatness, for He accomplished the plan to give us the Holy Spirit so that what remains in us today is the Holy Spirit.
O Holy Spirit, may we listen to Your voice, be sharp in Your grace, and be bold and brave to walk the path You have set out for us, to speak the voice of truth given by heaven through You. Grant that we may cooperate with You, to listen humbly and obediently to Your word, walk in the Lord’s holy will, whom we adore: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Please continue to enlighten us to live happy, peaceful, sober, and meaningful days to honor our Savior, who came to earth in the form of the Infant Jesus. May we love Him and spend time with Him. May we continue to meditate on the truth from You, to praise, glorify, and honor so that many people may know, return, and recognize the Lord we profess. Please accept our gratitude, thanksgiving, and apology for our shortcomings and weaknesses. Please continue to be patient and teach us to walk in Your way, to worship, honor, and surrender in Your will with Your teaching. May we belong to You. Totus Tuus.
We reverently offer the Fourth Kowtow to the Holy Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.
O Eucharistic Jesus, we honor, adore and thank You as we receive You into our hearts daily. You allow us to receive You into our hearts; You dwell with us, tenderly and sweetly, waiting for us to return the love we never deserve. We still have many shortcomings, but You are still the generous and compassionate Lord God, who still accepts and gives us, the lowly, the opportunity to know You in Your visit with the glory revealed to us. With our humble faith and faith still limited, it is still the faith to recognize the Lord our Savior, who remains with us through the Eucharist. His Eucharist today is the same Infant Jesus over 2,000 years ago, and who comes to us in this year’s commemoration, tonight’s Christmas.
O Lord, how can this sublime mystery be explained? It is the Lord we believe in and adore. There is nothing His power cannot do. So, today we turn to Mother Mary. With Her Fiat, the Holy Spirit enveloped Her, and the Lord dwelled in Her womb. Let us also say tonight: Lord, we thank You, adore You, glorify You, for tonight we have the opportunity to attend Mass to celebrate Christmas, commemorated and celebrated over 2,000 years. The day Christ was born.
Every day, I receive Your Eucharist into my heart. I am by Your side to hear Your words. You allow us to be by Your side, to ask for You to sanctify and transform us, to heal us physically and spiritually, to be witnesses to the Gospel in the age that You grant for us at the end of history, which is a sublime mystery for which we profess and lift our gratitude.
O Eucharistic Jesus, what a wonder with the great mystery we meditate. O Infant Jesus, this evening is sublime because You are the Lord, the Prince of heaven, but You take the form of a human being, born into poverty, to love and stay with us through Your Eucharist. It is a sublime plan in that work of redemption, so how can we not meditate and experience? Because we still exist, thanks to the Infant of tonight, the Infant of over 2,000 years ago, and also the Infant Jesus on the evening we celebrate Christmas, the Supreme Being who still reigns with us in lofty spirituality. That is the Eucharistic Jesus.
Today, O Eucharistic Jesus, I thank You for Your presence tonight. I thank You every time You appear and allow us to recognize Your visit. Through the marvelous wonders of heaven, especially the eyes of faith, our eyes perceive and believe in the sublime presence. You continue to live, draw near, and allow us to meet You. Though not in the flesh, You reveal Yourself in Your visit and we witness things from the truth for us to testify to the truth, which is the responsibility You gave us.
O Eucharistic Jesus, with patient love, a silent love, a yearning love, You accept our indifference and insensitivity through the ages. But the time has come for You to let us know that it is You who opened the door of the tabernacle to reveal Yourself to us Your great glory and let us know that love awaits, and the Divine Mercy still longs for us to return. Today, and tonight, we experience great love with the sublime mystery. This mystery cannot be thought of by human brains but only through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, with absolute faith, and with a humble heart that listens through the instruction of the Holy Spirit to understand the great mystery of the Blessed Sacrament. May everyone open their hearts and eyes of faith with respect, with love, with reverence, with moments of coming to the Lord, with moments of finding Him, with the inner of their souls, with longing prayers to become worthy children, to recognize love, to be healed, and to be forgiven.
May we recognize our condition. If we do not have the moments to pray in the most peaceful place, the most serene place, the happiest place that people have forgotten, today is not too late, while we are still in the flesh; not too late, when we understand and believe. May we recognize the strengthening of faith that God granted us to see with the eyes of faith and by the feeling through His visit. May our lives belong to Him. May we grow in Him, for our lives to recognize things He gives us, to know and practice life with meaning.
O Eucharistic Jesus, I love and glorify You. Please allow us to stay to pray tonight, to remember what You grant us with Your love, by Your incarnation, in the poorest, most humble place. You gave us the most happiness to behold. May we recognize this and cherish what we have, and listen. May our hearts and souls turn to You to feel Your love and respond. Though we are unworthy and imperfect, please allow us to experience a little love, regain our senses and balance, recognize and be aware, and live a deserving life. You wait for the maturity of our faith through the deeds that we sacrifice with the moments we spend with You, whom we worship. May we follow You, live for You, and choose the path with the meaning of being Your child.
O Eucharistic Jesus, I glorify and thank You. May we be complete tonight. We celebrate the Infant Jesus and the Eucharistic Jesus, still with us. We celebrate the Holy Family that brought us joy, comfort, and hope that everyone needs, which is a magnificent example for all of us. We lift to you thanksgiving and gratitude. We pray for people’s faith to shine, to return to the light of the winter night that the Savior has shone for us. We reverently offer the Fourth Kowtow like an offering to be remembered and kept in our hearts by meditation, to live meaningfully with the depth in prayer that Mother Mary taught us. May we belong to the Eucharistic Jesus. Totus Tuus.
We reverently offer the Fifth Kowtow to Five Holy Marks of Jesus Christ.
O Jesus Christ, I adore You and thank You. You came to us as a newborn Infant. You grew up through each stage that the Joyful Mysteries expressed when Mother said Fiat to the moment Mother went on a journey to perform the mission of love that You granted Her and performed in Her; it was an example to the world. In the Third Mystery, we honor and remember the Infant Jesus in the manger. Then Mother presented You in the Temple. Through each age, each stage, You grew up like a human being, living with us, close to us, following human law to be with us through each path and step.
In the Fifth Joyful Mystery, Mother looked for Jesus for three days. The three days signify the glorious Resurrection of the Savior; three days to proclaim the great Good News to the world. Three days, that number is repeated, from the Old Testament to the New Testament, through each of the stages that we meditate on. We see His life has given everything to us. He ministered and served since the time in Mother’s womb and became the Lord of love, offering that love and waiting for us, to this day through the Eucharist, for us to glorify through the Five Holy Marks.
We adore and honor God the Father, the First Holy Mark, with His Divine Mercy. With the Second Holy Mark, we praise, profess, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior. We thank, praise, and glorify the love of the Lord who became the Third Person. The Third Holy Mark is the Holy Spirit who grants us more understanding of the sublime and valuable richness God gave us in faith for our meditation to become meaningful. The Third Holy Mark: we profess the Savior, the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. The Fourth Holy Mark is the presence that remains with us to this day. Jesus came into the world tonight as we rejoice with the days in 2022. Through generations, the Savior is the Infant Jesus and the Newborn Child that we receive into our hearts. He is the Eucharistic Jesus.
Everything we feel and meditate on with depth and richness is from God. The Fourth Holy Mark helps us understand more things with the height and breadth of the Lord God, who is not too far away, easy to understand and approach, and still waits and longs for us to know. In belief and faith, the things we can do, understand and feel come from our beloved Mother – the Fifth Holy Mark. Mother has always been at God’s side, and through the five Joyful Mysteries, we see Mother never left God and that God’s plan was over Mother. Mother was by God’s side to replace humanity, pray for us, and offer the best that Mother teaches us today.
The Fifth Holy Mark belongs to Mother, and the Holy Spirit enlightens and guides us to know the signs of Jesus. On every step of the way, Mother was by Jesus’ side. Mother has always been the person who replaced us to pray for God to allow us to recognize the sublime significance of the Five Holy Marks and to understand the great treasure obtained through His excruciating suffering. Jesus resurrected in glory to bring life and hope to all classes and roles, for sinners to become penitents, witnesses, saints in heaven, and victims, prostrating in prayer, reverently lifting to God as an offering of penance and gratitude before the Five Holy Marks.
O Lord, most of us live in reality more, because we are familiar with iniquity, close to iniquity, live in iniquity, and are not aware of iniquity. Because of these points, You continue to remain silent and grieve with our insensitive hearts. You continue to see us tearing each other apart, fighting with each other. Evil is raging on us, but we do not know the great mystery in which You died for those evils, for the sins we committed. You died for all of us to resurrect with a new doctrine in love, in forgiveness, in unity, in a life that You wait and long from us, to recognize the death with which the price of Your Blood was shed to wash away our sins.
Today, with the sentiment of this evening, let us think and meditate. The Infant Jesus came into our lives, and His ending was in the most painful, humiliating, excruciating days. In this time, He continues to endure loneliness, abandonment, and human indifference, but He still gives us hope. Though the world is full of people who do not know or believe, there are still the lowly who know, trust, and speak from their hearts on behalf of all classes and roles to thank, apologize, ask for God’s forgiveness and meditate. God’s love is so sublime and beautiful that we cannot deny it and lose this great opportunity to save our lives. May we have a courageous and strong faith to become the faith God granted and waited for us through His death and His Five Holy Marks, for us to appreciate what is the best, with depth in meditation.
Mother taught us to come to God with a life of prayer, with our hearts, with sincerity, with the heart that we offer, a contrite and grateful heart; we will see the infinite love God still grants us. Let us confess the Five Holy Marks God especially gave because His triumph gave us life to exist today. For God, it is never too late, but for us, it is too late and way too tardy. Today, let us not return with failure, disappointment, and suffering but compare these disappointments and pains to the rays of hope of this Christmas night, to the birth that Jesus brought for us. May we never lose what we receive from Him, and no one can take away what belongs to us.
May we bow our heads to thank God’s love and remember that salvation has been ours and that His coming to earth was also for us to return to Him, belong to Him, glorify and adore Him, the Lord God to whom we need to live a life belonging to Him. We need to live a life that glorifies Him by deeds, returning to Him by reformation and restoration, which we reverently offer tonight as an offering to the Infant Jesus. May He help us recognize our wrongdoings, the offenses we unintentionally and intentionally commit in a life familiar with iniquity.
May the world open its eyes to what we are facing. We live in iniquity and have no true light with the truth of love, so we live days of struggle, quarrels, wars, and suffering with disease because we have lost all love. But love will be a source of hope, the new light God granted through His incarnation. May the war, the pandemic, and the unrighteousness in the world end so that everyone may know that the Lord God has come. It is the opportunity to return with reformation and restoration before the Infant Jesus as we celebrate the great Christmas of this night. We thank, praise, and glorify God. May we belong to the Five Holy Marks in the triumph of the Lord Jesus Christ.
May we be alert to return in time and to have the maturity we need through the visit of the Eucharistic Jesus. Through Mother’s teaching and intercession and our lives with the Fifth Holy Mark, we honor the Immaculate Heart and the triumph of Mother. Mother, You gave Your children the inheritance by Your teaching in the inner life, the prayer life, and the life of return. May we, with the methods that bring us closer to God, be more receptive and aware and not let habit control us and our days to become indifferent.
Thanks to Mother’s teaching, we are closer to God and experience the greatness in our lives when we pray and recognize the love God granted us. The visits from heaven have strengthened our faith, especially the visit of the Eucharistic Jesus. Let us believe. Believe, and we will receive; seek, and we will find; knock, and the door will open. May we have the opportunity to believe in God with feeling, eyes of faith, and heart. God will find a way to help us to belong to Him. Now is the time we need to make a decision, not be swayed by the current world, but trusting that through the challenge, after the rain, the sun will shine.
Events happen, but God is the Advocate, and God is the Master. What father does not defend his son, and when he sees his child suffering, turns a blind eye? What father came down to earth to save his child, not to let his child suffer? However, we must return and must be determined. God is the merciful, generous, benevolent Supreme Being who loves and intervenes. He has the power, full of might, to turn war into peace, suffering into days of prosperity, and days of extreme misery in iniquity to become the light that God shines to bring us out of the darkness. May we understand the meaning of reformation, restoration, in a spirit of repentance, to be worthy before the Lord God we honor through the Five Holy Marks, and lift our offering before the Infant Jesus of this night. May we belong to the Five Holy Marks. Totus Tuus.
We reverently offer the Sixth Kowtow to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and for Her triumph.
O God the Father, I adore You, thank You, praise You, and glorify You. Today is a special day. After attending Mass, we yearn to pray before the altar and the tabernacle in Your presence. However, at this moment and in this time, You see and know that we are not welcome, are judged and doubted by others, enduring the challenge of the cross that Jesus, Your Son, once carried for us. Today, we have our cross for the many offenses committed with weaknesses and shortcomings, and we must experience this to feel happy because we carry the cross with the Lord Jesus, Your Son. We feel the weight of the cross as Jesus came into the world on a cold winter night because of our sin of indifference. This evening means so much. After twelve years, what we heard helped us have enough faith and strength, and though we still have many shortcomings, we are strong enough to understand what we currently have.
O God the Father, I honor, adore, and thank You. In everything we know and do, we strongly feel it is because of Mother Mary, whom You have chosen, the Mother of the Second Person of God, the Queen of Heaven, and the Mother of humanity. With Her example, quiet life, and prayer life, She has done a lot but said little. Her life with a heart of absolute faith belongs to God, and She is a person without any stain of sin, with a life belonging to God. You chose a wonderful Mother, a perfect Mother, a holy Mother. Today, Her inheritance teaches us to face events we created. Due to our weak faith, we lived accustomed to iniquity, so today, we must accept what we choose. But Father, no matter how many generations, no matter how evil or sinful, You still have a way to save us, who are victims of the times and wars and are sinners.
Thanks to Jesus, Your Son, who saved us, we have hope and this day to awaken and recognize right, wrong, true, false, goodness, and evil. We know there is no deed worthy enough for our sins to be forgiven but only from Your infinite Divine Mercy, with the Savior who came into the world to save us. We commemorate this winter night when the Infant Jesus came to every human being and every sinner. Jesus did not discriminate against anyone; anyone who comes, He will raise His arms with the heart that He wants us to hold Him. May God dwell in our hearts. May we become mangers for Jesus despite many shortcomings and be the mangers that are longing to receive the Lord God, who came to save and change our lives and allow us to experience His unique love for us.
O Lord, tonight is a night of blessing and grace, a great night in which Mother Mary brought the Infant Jesus to us. We thank Mother, lift to You, and offer You the Sixth Kowtow. Mother, we honor You and thank You. Please accept the Sixth Kowtow that we reverently offer to honor and praise You and thank You. Thanks to Your silent deeds, everything You granted, what is done and practiced today is from Your teaching so that we may live an intimate spiritual life taught by You, to relive with a faith that has become a habit and become hardened days. Our faith must become vibrant again, by deeds, by a determination to devote time to the Lord God who longs for us and awaits us.
Today, in commemoration of the incarnation, let us not stop only for a few minutes in our life with habits, but let us stop with what is necessary for our souls, to hear the voice of the soul, the voice of the heart, the voice of the Lord God who created it. Our heart is yearning, by expression, by action, by gesture, by confession, as Mothe taught us, to work from the mind, body, soul, and heart, to belong to the Creator who granted us, the Savior who saved us, and the Enlightener who is still with us. May we not lose the opportunity when we can be children of God.
O Mother Mary, the great gift that You gave us reminds us that our lives cannot be ruled by the world but by God. He is the Supreme Being who controls our lives until the day we leave this world. God is the Supreme Being who loves and created us; all of us belong to Him. We have nothing to offer Him today but a weak, flawed, sinful, unworthy body. Today, we have nothing to offer God, the Infant Jesus. May we be taught by You, Mother, to understand prayer by the soul, truth, and heart, to reverently lift to the Infant Jesus with a weak, imperfect body, with many things in life. We do not yet fully belong to God.
Today, God continues to love us and give us opportunities. He continues to touch our hearts so that we have the moments of feeling from our hearts to offer to the Infant Jesus as an offering to ask Him to sanctify us. May He give us love. May we love Him, our neighbor, and our work, and live knowing Him, recognizing Him. Mother, we love You and listen to Your teaching to become an offering to the Infant Jesus tonight and be a daily offering, and reverently lift to Him whom we worship.
O Mother Mary, You are the Mother of Divine Mercy, Mother of the Heart of Love, Mother of the Eucharist, Mother of the Incarnate Word, Mother of the Redeemer, Mother of all humanity. We thank You because of Your Fiat, You accepted God’s plan to save us, but You remained quiet and continued to accept all the difficulties in Your life for us to have this day. Even a hundred thousand times with our apology, even a hundred thousand times with our thanks, there are no words enough to say to You. Mother, we are on the brink of exhaustion. There is tension surrounding the world. War and pandemics threaten our lives. Everything the world created threatens our lives as we face pandemics and war, and many problems lead us to death, along with the threat of atomic bombs around the world.
O Mother, please have mercy on us. Especially tonight, we lift everything to the Infant Jesus. We know that He came to rule the world and in each of our hearts. Everyone longs for harmony and peace, and right now even as we are in sin we know the bare minimum in life that God created for us and give us. May we lift to the Infant Jesus through Your teaching, with the gift that teaches us every day, reminds us every day of the human condition that cannot be without God, cannot lose God, and cannot live without God in our lives.
Today, Mother, please continue to be patient with us. Though sometimes we follow our habits, we cannot lose what we have in life when we know the gift You gave us. We must share this gift with others, bear witness to the truth, and practice what You taught us, which is enlightened by the Holy Spirit. We lift to the Infant Jesus tonight. May Your holy will be done over us and today’s world.
To the Infant Jesus, I lift the Pope. To the Infant Jesus, I lift the righteous leaders; the countries that are at war; people who are starving, suffering, and ill. To the Infant Jesus, I lift our disobedience and unrighteousness, in every nation. To the Infant Jesus, I lift all classes and roles, our families, brothers, sisters, and loved ones. To the Infant Jesus, I lift all the brothers and sisters who are with me in this mission and their relatives; the souls who died unexpectedly during the pandemic; the sick, the people we know, and those who ask us to pray for them.
To the Infant Jesus, I lift the souls in purgatory, the souls we know, the souls whose relatives asked us to pray for them; all my brothers and sisters and my life; all my brothers and sisters who are called to be witnesses to God’s love; our parish; all families, all our shortcomings and weaknesses, all my imperfections and many more things in my life; my family, relatives, benefactors; and all the people in this world.
Lord, I know that this world commits many offenses that cause You to be heartbroken and disappointed, but I believe that You love us more than our offenses because You have come to save us and forgive us. Let us listen to Mother’s words to have a reformation, and renewal, with prayer. Let us reform and amend by the Holy Spirit’s teaching through the Six Kowtows and Mother’s arrangement to teach us each day with the sacrifices to be offered. That is what I say to God today, on behalf of all classes and roles. We pray for people to open their souls and hearts, to know what is most needed, and return to God when time permits and is still allowed.
I lift to God the joy of this night; time will not last. I say these words to ask for Mother’s intercession for us to wake up. Let us try harder to improve, amend, and resurrect in the prostration and submission, with the habit essential in life with prayer. May God have mercy, sanctify, and forgive us, for everyone to return to God and be interceded by the love of the Divine Mercy. With God’s special visit tonight, may we spend moments of adoration and offer songs and praises on the day we rejoice with the heavenly court and the archangels in heaven, celebrating a particularly memorable day for earth and heaven.
We praise and glorify God, and we thank Mother. Mother, please continue to teach us because, without You, we do not understand and do not know what meditation is and do not know how to pray. Mother Mary, please continue to teach and remind us to belong to You and learn humility, listening, and obedience. May our lives be ruled by God. May God dwell in our hearts. May we prepare our hearts to be the manger for the Infant Jesus, and may He come so that we may have joy and happiness with the meaning of Christmas. May we become little straws woven together to invite Jesus to come, to be a peaceful place with small straws through our sacrifice, to ask Him to be with us. Our joy is in God, our happiness is in Him, and the hope for all humanity is in the Child Jesus of this night, especially in 2022.
I lift to God everything: tomorrow, the remaining days of the year, the new year, and each day of our lives. May we live to understand, love, be generous and forgive, live meaningfully, live with the cross that You prepared for us, and know that the way of the cross is the way to return to You and to the destination where Mother Mary and You wait for us. That is the most important thing. May we accept the cross and get used to it for our lives to be happy and not be distracted by the wide path, the path of enjoyment, and the path in which we follow the will of the flesh.
Help us return with our hearts, prayer, reformation, restoration, prostration, surrender, and prayer, and boldly bear witness to the truth. I thank You, Mother, for everything You have done for us. I thank You for listening to us tonight. May we follow God’s holy will, in Your arrangement and the Holy Spirit’s enlightenment, to continue with our mission, especially with the coming year for which we prepare with the assigned duty.
And now, Mother, I thank You for leading us to Saint Joseph. Especially tonight, we thank Saint Joseph. He is a role model for the whole world, especially the Holy Family. Saint Joseph is a saint worthy of us to learn from; we honor and thank him because he is the one who has set an example for the human world with his righteousness, his life of obedience to God, his responsibility, and chastity. May each class and role learn from him so that our lives may become more holy and meaningful because God is waiting for us in the world. I thank God for giving us the Holy Family. Tonight, may we learn from the Holy Family so that our lives may understand the joy and peace of the family.
Mother, we thank You for bringing us to the three archangels who guard our world, who hold the balance of justice, not allowing evil to continue to prevail, to rule. May we have the archangels’ intervention because we believe in what we ask, and God is giving us the opportunity through the help of the archangels. Please accept our gratitude and thanksgiving. May the archangels continue to dispel the snares of the devil to save us in a world full of today’s events.
I also thank and pray for the twelve archangels to help us. They are the guardians of the borders, of the world, of the globe, of the very air. Please do not let the air we breathe become polluted and be in control of the world to remove all the poison air. We must pay attention and preserve life because it is affected by harmful things that cause our world to end up with days of polluted air.
We know we have no way of recovering, but with the help of the archangels, God will find a way to give us what we ask for as we lift to Him with a sinful, weak, and lowly condition. We do not understand and know what is going on, but we ask God to urge our world to have a way to help purify it, to become a natural world, so that the air is not polluted and there is no disease. Our world is falling into serious days, which are days of ongoing illness and many things in the world that are threatening people’s lives, losing their lifespan to know God, worship God, and belong to God.
We thank God for giving us exemplary saints in the course of history. They sacrificed, courageously recognized God’s love, and practiced. They lived a life that is an opportunity for us to learn from their examples and live with righteousness for us to confess and return to God, learn from the saints, and courageously testify to the truth. I thank God and Mother for bringing us to the guardian angels because they always remind us, intercede and help us through our stumbles and through the moments we are not mature enough to know good from evil. Our guardian angels helped us a lot.
Today, our world has guardian angels, and we ask for their help so that we may know right from wrong, truth from false, reject habits and vices, return to righteousness, accept challenges, and help our lives become fully improved. We know what we have is a favor from God with what we asked and offered to the Infant Jesus. Lord, please hear our prayers and intervene for our world to soon return in a spirit of repentance, to be worthy of the love and Divine Mercy as You await, and be worthy of the teaching through the gift Mother gives to the world at the end of history.
I and all the brothers and sisters conclude the Six Kowtows reverently offered on this Solemnity before the Infant Jesus. I conclude here. May God bless all my brothers and sisters in the group, and may we spend time with You before the Blessed Sacrament where You are waiting. We will attend midnight Mass and stay awake until 3 a.m. with the Infant Jesus, to stay with the Eucharistic Jesus. Let us rejoice with the heavenly court, with songs we sing as an offering to celebrate the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, especially in our present longing, and also in union with the heavenly court, to praise, honor, and thank God on behalf of all classes and roles. In particular, the most important day of our lives is the day the Savior has come, bringing peace and security that each person is longing for with hope in our God.
We thank, praise, and glorify God in the holy name of our Lord Jesus Christ, now and forever. Lucia and the brothers and sisters conclude at 11:43 p.m. on Saturday, December 24, 2022, at home. There are only a few minutes left before we attend the midnight Mass. Then it will be the 25th, the day we officially celebrate Christ’s Birth. The world knows this day and recognizes its importance in the life of Christians, in particular, and humanity in general. May we believe and return to You, for the Infant Jesus always granted us tenderness, gentleness, and affection from love. The Author of love has come to us with His wisdom in the form of the Infant Jesus. May we believe and thank God, our Lord, now and forever. Amen. Amen. Amen.[:][:]
