“My Dear Children,

Today I would like to tell you that LIFE IS A MYSTERY OF LOVE. Truly, dear children, your life is a mystery that you can only understand in the light of God, your Creator. The word mystery does not necessarily indicate something obscure or incomprehensible; it is you who nearly always attribute this meaning to it. In the eyes of God, mystery means immensity, profundity, intimacy and sacredness; in this sense, life is a mystery. It is like the vast and deep ocean you cannot explore without the right means; it is like a very high peak you cannot reach unless you are expert climbers.

The One and Triune God, who created you, knows your life through and through. He knows your origin and your destiny. He has impressed upon you His image and likeness, which holds within your full potential. When God calls you to life, He gives you the intelligence and strength you need to face the world. He transmits His love to you. It is like a seed placed within you; day by day, the seed grows and guides you in your choices.

If you comprehend that your life comes from God and returns to God, and if you decide to place it in His hands, then life will open up before you like a book. You will be able to understand the events that happen to you, to overcome trials and difficulties, great and small, to read your feelings and those of others, and to give them the proper meaning. The mosaic of your existence is gradually composed, forming your true image – the person you are in the eyes of God. You become experts in life, examples and light for those who seek the true life that is found only in God.

My children, many people on Earth can no longer see the image of God within themselves. In this way, they become slaves to false images – images artificially created by fashions and ideas imposed by the powerful to destroy the identity of individuals and entire peoples. Do you not realise that Satan is trying to shape your humanity in his own image and likeness through those who serve him? How long will you permit him to profane the mystery of life? All this occurs because a large part of the humanity of the Earth is separated from the One and Triune God and can no longer understand the mystery of life. People know neither the origin of life nor its destiny, neither its depth nor its beauty, least of all its sacredness. For many, life is worth nothing; this is proved by the many terrible sins committed against life on Earth, beginning with abortion.

Children, I invite you to discover the mystery of your existence by looking at it in God. Holy Christmas is approaching. It is the feast of life, because LIFE – My Son Jesus – became manifest on Earth. By His Word, His death and His resurrection, He taught you the meaning of life according to the divine laws and not according to human trends. During this Holy Christmas, ask My Son to help you understand who you are and what you can do. Ask Him to leaf through the book of your life with you, and to re-read with Him all the pages, the beautiful and the less beautiful, of the story of your life. Jesus will give you the Holy Spirit so that you can understand the reasons for many events that you have not understood.  Above all, you will understand what God has done for you, and Holy Christmas will be a great feast of the spirit, not a bustle of amusements and gifts.

I invite you to restore to Christmas its true meaning. Distance yourselves and your family from pagan interpretations, which have reduced the birth of My Son to a meaningless feast. The world has replaced the divine Person of Jesus with images of lifeless puppets; it has substituted the divine grace of this great Christian solemnity with the magic of Christmas, in which people are expected to be kinder and exchange gifts. Do you understand that all this makes no sense? Return to My Son, Jesus! Return to the Life that is not empty magic, but a concrete reality that can transform you and save you from evil.

Children, do not forget that God has a project of love and fullness for each one of you, but He cannot realise it without your collaboration, because He created you to be free, and He respects your freedom. Therefore, I ask you to give yourselves over to God and to let Him work freely in you, so that He may reveal to you the full value of your life. Each one of you is important in the plan of God; yet, if you stray onto wrong paths, the universe will be forever deprived of the beauty and holiness of each one of you. Do not inflict this pain on My Heart! Do not pierce Me once again with the sword of your indifference! Remember that I am your Mother, and I desire to see your happiness as you are in the hands of the living, true God.

I am by your side as always, especially at this Holy Christmas, and I bless you together with My little Jesus, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
