Speaker:"No one can serve two masters.
Speaker:He will either hate the one and love the other,
Speaker:or be devoted to one and despise the other.
Speaker:You cannot serve God and mammon.
Speaker:Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life--
Speaker:what you shall eat or drink--
Speaker:or about your body-- what you will wear.
Speaker:Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Speaker:"Look at the birds in the sky.
Speaker:They do not sow or reap.
Speaker:They gather nothing into barns, yet your Heavenly Father
Speaker:feeds them.
Speaker:Are not you more important than they?
Speaker:Can any of you, by worrying, add a single moment
Speaker:to your life span?
Speaker:"Why are you anxious about clothes?
Speaker:Learn from the way the wildflowers grow.
Speaker:They do not work or spin.
Speaker:But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour
Speaker:was clothed like one of them.
Speaker:If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today
Speaker:and is thrown into the oven tomorrow,
Speaker:will He not much more provide for you,
Speaker:oh you of little faith?
Speaker:"So do not worry and say, what are we to eat?
Speaker:Or what shall we drink?
Speaker:Or what are we to wear?
Speaker:All these things the pagans seek.
Speaker:Your Heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
Speaker:"But seek first the Kingdom of God
Speaker:and His righteousness, and all these things
Speaker:will be given you besides.
Speaker:Do not worry about tomorrow.
Speaker:Tomorrow will take care of itself.
Speaker:Sufficient for a day is its own evil."

[SONG:"O HOLY NIGHT"]
[SONG:[INSTRUMENTAL]
[SONG:O holy night, the stars are brightly shining.
[SONG:It is the night of our dear Savior's Birth.
[SONG:Long lay the world in sin and error pining, till He appeared
[SONG:and the soul felt its worth.
[SONG:A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices.
[SONG:For yonder brings a new and glorious morn.
[SONG:Fall on your knees.
[SONG:Oh hear the angel voices.
[SONG:O night divine, O night when Christ was born.
[SONG:Truly He taught us to love one another.
[SONG:His law is love and His gospel is peace.
[SONG:Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother.
[SONG:And in His Name all oppression shall cease.
[SONG:Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we.
[SONG:Let all within us praise His holy Name.
[SONG:Fall on your knees.
[SONG:Oh hear the angel voices.
[SONG:O night divine, O night when Christ was born.
[SONG:Fall, fall on your knees.
[SONG:Oh hear the angel voices.
[SONG:O night divine, O night when Christ was born.
[SONG:O night divine, O night, O night divine.
[SONG:[INSTRUMENTAL]
[SONG:[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
[SONG:"Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother.
[SONG:And in His Name all oppression shall cease."
[SONG:Those of you tonight on this Christmas Eve
[SONG:in states that have locked you down,
[SONG:can be very depressing, whether you're
[SONG:in the states, in the United States,
[SONG:with its criminal rules, or whether you're
[SONG:in England, locked down, or Italy and different countries.
[SONG:None of us could have imagined last Christmas
[SONG:all the things that's assailing us this Christmas.
[SONG:And everybody is in wonder.
[SONG:But we had a prophetic message from Our Lady last Christmas,
[SONG:December 25, 2019, through Jakov.
[SONG:And She said,
[SONG:"through prayer with the heart, faith and works
[SONG:you will come to know what it means to live
[SONG:a sincere Christian life"
[SONG:People are praying right now, more so than last year.
[SONG:They're becoming more sincere.
[SONG:Our Lady continued,
[SONG:"Often times, children, darkness, pain and crosses
[SONG:overwhelm your hearts.
[SONG:Do not waver in faith and ask 'why'
[SONG:because you think that you are alone and abandoned"
[SONG:And many tonight are.
[SONG:Many are breaking the rules and celebrating Christmas.
[SONG:But for those in localities that's
[SONG:more severe in enforcing this, you feel abandoned.
[SONG:Our Lady continues,
[SONG:"Instead, open your hearts, pray and believe firmly and then
[SONG:your heart will feel God's nearness
[SONG:and that God never abandons youHe
[SONG:is beside you at every moment.
[SONG:Through prayer and faith, God will answer your every 'why'
[SONG:and transform yourpain, darkness and cross into light"
[SONG:The Church is suffering now.
[SONG:People are suffering.
[SONG:People are scared.
[SONG:We have no precedent for the situations
[SONG:we find ourselves in.
[SONG:In the Nine Days Before Christmas Novena, many of you
[SONG:who may be praying, last night's meditation
[SONG:of the fifth Luminous Mystery, it states,
[SONG:"The most beastly man, at least once in his life,
[SONG:will have experienced seeing a baby that
[SONG:brought a smile to his face and a joy in his heart"
[SONG:And the meditation continues,
[SONG:"The sorrow surrounding the Last Supper is to be cancelled
[SONG:by the Institution of the Eucharist.
[SONG:When sorrow engulfs you through life's situations,
[SONG:approach the altar, knowing the little Baby
[SONG:born 2,000 years ago, Who embraced the shepherds' hearts,
[SONG:is about to embrace you at that moment.
[SONG:If the most beastly, hardened man can be moved,
[SONG:how much more can we, as we receive Him from the altar?
[SONG:Be relieved of your burdens and sorrows and receive joy."
[SONG:And how do we receive that?
[SONG:From the Eucharist.
[SONG:From Jesus.
[SONG:I've got an ancient book about wisdom statements.
[SONG:One of them says,
[SONG:"When man ceases to wonder, God's secrets
[SONG:remain unrevealed."
[SONG:There is so much to be reveled, and that's
[SONG:why Our Lady's here, because we, as modern man,
[SONG:do not see what can't be seen, because we wonder no more.
[SONG:We have the answers.
[SONG:We follow the culture, all those things affecting the world,
[SONG:and we block God from revealing to us secrets.
[SONG:In this book, it also says, about the spiritual realm
[SONG:in the physical realm.
[SONG:"The priest stands every morning upon the shores
[SONG:of the eternal world."
[SONG:What is he saying?
[SONG:He's saying, when he's holding up the Eucharist,
[SONG:he's standing on the earth, and he raises up the Host.
[SONG:He's entered into the spiritual realm.
[SONG:Both places.
[SONG:Going back to the quote, it says,
[SONG:"We catch glimpses of the supernatural.
[SONG:As we speak of the mystic words of the Mass,
[SONG:the thin curtain between the two worlds
[SONG:is blown aside for a moment, and we see, at least
[SONG:briefly and dimly, what the Mass really means."
[SONG:Many people are not going to Mass tonight or tomorrow,
[SONG:but for those who are, you're going
[SONG:to see something in both realms, the spiritual and the physical.
[SONG:That's what happens at Mass.
[SONG:But if you look at it in wonder, it's not unrevealed.
[SONG:The closest we can get to Jesus and the Baby Jesus
[SONG:is the Eucharist.
[SONG:And the writing says, after you receive your Communion,
[SONG:leaving the altar, quote,
[SONG:"When we come away from the altar, returning,
[SONG:so to speak, from the other world to this,
[SONG:it is our duty and our privilege to convey,
[SONG:at least to try to convey to people
[SONG:what we have seen and heard."
[SONG:That's the mystery of the Eucharist,
[SONG:especially at Christmas.
[SONG:And if you're not able to go because of lockdown,
[SONG:you can do Spiritual Communions.
[SONG:On December 2, 2015, Our Lady said,
[SONG:"Through love, Jesus seeks unity between Heaven and earth"
[SONG:Wow.
[SONG:Heaven is the spiritual and earth is physical.
[SONG:And then She repeats that in a different way, not the heavens
[SONG:or the earth, but the family.
[SONG:"unity between Heaven and earth"
[SONG:And then She says,
[SONG:"between the Heavenly Father and you, my children"
[SONG:Do you see this pattern?
[SONG:God is bringing the spiritual realm
[SONG:to the physical realm and the physical realm
[SONG:to the spiritual realm.
[SONG:In this blessed time we're in, the unity is through Our Lady.
[SONG:Our Lady comes every day from the spiritual realm
[SONG:into the physical realm.
[SONG:But She's not in the spiritual realm.
[SONG:She is physically in front of Marija.
[SONG:Marija can touch Her.
[SONG:Our Lady can kiss Marija.
[SONG:She's done that.
[SONG:Marija has hugged Our Lady.
[SONG:How can Our Lady be supernatural,
[SONG:transfigured in Her Body, and be physically touched?
[SONG:This is what is being said.
[SONG:"Jesus seeks unity between Heaven and earth"
[SONG:We are living something that has never happened before.
[SONG:So, take that joy, because Mary and Joseph
[SONG:were in a bad situation, a situation,
[SONG:today, that is condemned.
[SONG:We've got a mindset of people in poverty
[SONG:are put there by other people.
[SONG:You have all these voices, "We've got to do the poor."
[SONG:We have the social justice thing,
[SONG:which is nothing about justice.
[SONG:Actually, it is injustice.
[SONG:Whether we're rich, middle class, poor, or out
[SONG:on the streets, we're alive.
[SONG:We have life.
[SONG:It struck me very strongly of the terrible situation
[SONG:that Mary and Joseph were in, that in their poverty,
[SONG:in their rejection, no place to stay,
[SONG:Our Lady had the joy of Jesus.
[SONG:What was the opinion of Heaven of this sad situation?
[SONG:The opinion of man, today, in that situation is bad.
[SONG:But that's not what was looked at.
[SONG:We know the opinion of Heaven because the heavens were
[SONG:filled with angels rejoicing!
[SONG:We have to have the view of Heaven
[SONG:on everything, because what many people think is bad is not.
[SONG:It's good.
[SONG:And what many people think is good is bad.
[SONG:We're in times of reflection, of thoughtfulness, contemplation.
[SONG:We have to look at ourselves, our nation, our world.
[SONG:We're in this situation because of our sins.
[SONG:They have matured into physical things that's
[SONG:harmful to us, that is dark, even overwhelming, more than we
[SONG:can handle.
[SONG:But in Jakov's message last Christmas,
[SONG:it's all for the purpose to bring us joy.
[SONG:And that's why Our Lady said, "God will answerevery 'why'"
[SONG:All these things you're seeing here at Christmas,
[SONG:you're going to get the answer.
[SONG:"Through prayer and faith, God will answer your every 'why'
[SONG:and transform your every pain, darkness and cross into light"
[SONG:If you're going into the light, it will be joy.
[SONG:So, we're all suffering difficulties.
[SONG:We're going through birth pains because something
[SONG:is about to be birthed, and it may be much more darker
[SONG:than it is at this moment.
[SONG:But for us as Christians, make every night a holy night.
[SONG:Never go to bed without consecrations
[SONG:to the Immaculate Heart and the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
[SONG:Live holy night, not just Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
[SONG:Every day is to be Christmas, because we
[SONG:have our Deliverer, the Son of God,
[SONG:coming tomorrow in the arms of Our Lady.
[SONG:Contemplate these things.
[SONG:I'd like to end with these ancient writings that
[SONG:speaks prophetically about Our Lady coming today.
[SONG:"Brighter than the eastern skies at daybreak,
[SONG:with fancied roses, the unblemished moon,
[SONG:before the moon begins to fade on Heaven's blue coast,
[SONG:Thy image falls to earth, and man will kneel before Her."
[SONG:Tomorrow's the 25th.
[SONG:We will be broadcasting Monday, discussing serious things
[SONG:as we approach the first of the year.
[SONG:We wish you a very, very hope-filled Christmas,
[SONG:knowing that you can have the nearness of Jesus to you.
[SONG:We wish you Our Lady.
[SONG:We love you.
[SONG:Good night.
