At Christmas Midnight Mass, God gave me a special grace that I will never forget. I saw the Child Jesus, who came out of the Host, standing near the priest at the altar. He stood there, smiling at me.

He came to me and whispered in my ear, “I want to be close to your heart because I want to teach you spiritual childhood. I want you to be very little and humble in everything you say and do toward others. In this way, I could use you to bring others to My love and mercy.”

He looked into my eyes with great love, and I heard Him speak to me in my heart: “Remember, I want you to remain little, trusting Me as a small child who trusts his parents in all his needs.”
