What is Christmas?

{introduction}

Here we are talking about the salvation of mankind and of the Incarnation of Christ, the Son of God, who became the new Adam, assuming all that is human, and by this assumption saved and deified man. He came to reconcile us to the Father after the Fall. He became man in order to deliver us from death and corruption and make us the sons and daughters of God and gods by participation. So why did God become man which He was not before? It was to make man god. God desired this so much that Jesus came out of the bosom of the Father without separation, and descended and came to earth for that reason.

He did not come as a Judge to judge the world, not yet, but He came to save it after the Fall. So through the Incarnation of Christ, we, who are corruptible matter are able to partake His divinity and of His Kingdom if we observe His commandments and His Law. Thus the Word became flesh.

So let Christmas take its real place in our heart and out of respect for our priceless ransom let us love our Lord and Master who paid it. Let us welcome His love and we will know that if He had not wanted to save us after having redeemed us, He would not have descended on earth at all. He would not have been sacrificed because of us. But he did it by His own free will and because of the infinite Love He has for each one of us. But man has distorted the meaning of Christmas. This is what the Lord said once on the 24th December 1991, the eve of Christ’s birth…

“…today I come with peace-terms and a Message of Love, but the peace I am offering is blasphemed by the earth and the Love I am giving them is mocked and jeered in the Eve of My Birth; mankind is celebrating these days without My Holy Name; My Holy Name has been abolished and they take the day of My Birth as a great holiday of leisure, worshiping idols…I have warned the world…” December 24, 1991

In this message Christ shows us how much He is offended by our indifference and by our deviating His Birth into trivial things, celebrating Christmas in the wrong way and without remembering the real reason. For many people celebrate much more the Christmas tree, and the exchange of gifts, and the food, eating until sick, going on holidays and amusing themselves to folly, instead of adoring Jesus as the first shepherds did in the manger.

The Lord says: “…Satan is deceiving the world once more with the same lie he deceived Eve… that they too can be God  and are self-sufficient and do not need Me…” June 1, 2002

The world today, our Lord says, refuses the glory of God and prefers to live as if there is no God, for the world is paying no attention to God’s Law or precepts. The world refuses to give glory to God and instead glorifies itself, playing God.

Jesus said: “…they are doing all these things because they have never known either the Father or Myself…all they do is wither their soul for they snapped their navel string attached to Me and that nourished their soul…they are heading willingly into the eternal fires…” July 25, 1989

As you see from these messages, God is not pleased, especially when it comes to Christmas time when one should be living Christmas the right way and giving glory to God and remembering Jesus as our Savior who redeemed us.

Vassula explains the Prophecy after the tsunami disaster in SE Asia during Christmas time

Vassula explains how the 2004 Tsunami on Christmas in Southeast Asia was forewarned by Our Lord and is still just a foreshadowing of times to come without a “true metanoia” from His people. Read More >>

Fr Petr also explains how the Lord had been warning us years prior of the Tsunami and why it struck on Christmas Eve. Yet the Tsunami itself is a mere precursor for times ahead if we don’t change and how the Unity of the Church plays a critical role in that “change”. Watch now >>

I Am Love

(Christmas Eve)

Jesus?

I am, beloved;

Today is the Eve of Your Birth.
Lord! I rejoice so very much
Beloved One, Holy of Holies!
Praised be our Lord!
Read More >>

O God, dissolve me in Your Holiness
and show me how to live holy.
Dissolve me Eternal One
in Your Purity purifying me.
Beloved One, sanctify us Your children,
and unite us all into one Fold,
glorifying You and praising You around one Tabernacle.
Allow Your Holy Spirit of Truth to descend upon all of us
to show us The Truth.
Let Your Light be our Guide in this obscurity,
and lead us in The Truth,
bringing us all under one shepherd until Your Return.
Lord, COME! (December 24, 1988)

Where Is The Flock Of Your Boast Now?

is your heart today ready to receive Me? are your mouths ready to speak and acknowledge My Spirit of Grace that I outpour on you these days? are your eyes willing to see? are your ears ready to recognise My Cries of Love? are your hearts willing to open and acknowledge My Graces of today? are your feet ready to walk and come and prostrate yourselves at the Time of Adoration, just like the first shepherds who came to adore Me in My Nativity, glorifying Me? are you ready to glorify Me with your heart this time and show to My flock your love and your faithfulness towards Me?
(August 9, 1989)

Let Your Prayers Reach Heaven – Be My Heaven

fill your hearts with God’s Love and rejoice, for a Saviour was born for your salvation, a Saviour meek at heart who descended on earth to serve and to call the oppressed; “He has come to open the eyes of the blind, to free captives from prison and those who live in darkness from the dungeon”; (Is. 42:7) Read More >> beloved children, it is the same Saviour who calls out to you today, it is the same Saviour who calls each one of you by his name: to return to Him; it is the same Jesus who reminds you of His teachings; it is the same Jesus whom I, as His Mother, held in My Arms, and had Him wrapped in swaddling clothes; born to serve, born to redeem you, and now it is the same Jesus always who calls out to you for your salvation; it is the same Saviour who reminds you that you all belong to Him; He was made visible in the flesh and He sacrificed Himself for you, My children, in order to set you free; (November 29, 1989)

From Nation To Nation, I Let My Spirit Blow

peace be with you; honour Me by imitating Me, glorify Me by loving Me, sanctify your body, since I live in you, by eating Me and by drinking Me; adore Me, thirst for Me, repair for those who do not love Me and are blinded by their intellect and who cannot tell their right hand from their left; Read More >> pray that they may realise that they need perception so as to not deviate, like many of them do now, from My Words; pray that they may understand that what I want from these wise men is adoration, I want them to come and do Me homage like the first shepherds and like the Magi; (June 19, 1990)

Today A Child Is Born

I shall announce Your Name to my brothers
and praise You in full assembly
whether they like it or not.

daughter, although many of you do not know the way to Peace and the way to Unity, do not despair; hope in Me, I shall come to comfort you soon; and you, My child, your pleadings4 have been heard in Heaven by everyone; I shall come to unite you; My Word has been given and My Will shall be carried out; in the meantime summon a nation you never knew and give them the instructions I have given you, and if a ‘sage’ now and then accuses you of calling Me Father, remind him that today a Child is born and His Name is Wonder-Counsellor, Mighty-God, Eternal-Father, and Prince of Peace; (December 25, 1990)

Our Hearts Like Two Lamps Are Shining Near Each

citadel after citadel is being besieged by the Rebel; I come today and offer all mankind My Peace but very few listen; today I come with peace-terms and a Message of Love, but the peace I am offering is blasphemed by the earth and the Love I am giving them is mocked and jeered in this Eve of My Birth; mankind are celebrating these days without My Holy Name; My Holy Name has been abolished and they take the day of My Birth as a great holiday of leisure, worshipping idols; (December 24, 1991)

The Woman Adorned With The Sun

in her Immaculate womb She glorified Me by receiving Me, the unblemished Lamb, making a sanctuary for the Sanctuary; come and sing a new song in Her honour, let all who live on earth revere Her Immaculate Heart, the Altar in which I was conceived and became God-Man too; 4 no one glorified Me as much as the Woman adorned with the sun;

that day I was conceived by the Holy Spirit in Her virginal Womb, all the demons were paralysed with fright while in heaven at the same time a great throng of the heavenly host were praising God and singing: “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace to men who enjoy His favour;” thus, I descended from heaven to heaven, from My throne to My throne […]
come to the Heart of your Blessed Mother, which is as bright as day; come and receive Her graces, which are so innumerable and that flash in rays from Her Hands; My Heart, which is full of grace and truth, was made flesh in the Virginal Womb full of grace and truth; and now, Our Two Hearts, joined in One, will conquer Bitter Plague, not by physical strength nor by force of arms, but by love and sacrifice; (March 20, 1996)

My Heart pains Me to watch this generation collapse

so now, daughter, incline your ear, listen to My Heart beats; I am vexed with My people who will celebrate Christmas again without My Holy Name; many have turned aside, all alike are tainted; have they not read, ‘God scatters the bones of the apostate, they are disgraced, for God rejects them; the world has nothing to offer; their love is based on falsehood, it is based on self-love, lust, sensual love, love for Mammon, love in promoting wrong morals; haughty looks! their tombs will be their eternal home; their everlasting residence, and yet, My Heart pains Me to watch this generation collapse and wither away; always trying to think of new designs of rebellion, constantly resisting to the Holy Spirit; (November 28, 2009)

Yahweh is near, coming with all speed

now, even if I distressed you, even for a mere moment, it was out of the greatness of the love I have for you; I want to lead you to repentance and save you; I want lips that are clean when they invoke My Name, especially in these days where My Holy Name will be profaned and will mean nothing to many while they celebrate My birth without honour; repent all of you and focus on Me; pray that this generation’s guilt will not be the cause of your destruction, otherwise the Father’s wrath will lead Him to cry out: ‘enough!’ and His fiery Justice will cover many nations and the world will disintegrate; happy the man who listens to Me now and purifies himself; I will support him; (December 14, 2009)
