December 24, 2022 – Christmas Eve – St Joseph says:
“Praise be to Jesus. As the Holy Mother* and I progressed along our journey towards Bethlehem, I did all I could think of to make Her more comfortable – cooler in the midday sun – warmer at night. She never complained, but I knew Her needs without Her speaking them. Our disappointment at finding lack of suitable dwelling when we reached Bethlehem was surrendered to God the Father in trustful love. We did not fear God’s Plan for us. We waited for its unfolding. God sent us the grace to do so.”
“This is the grace each soul needs to pray for in the world today. Pray against Satan’s discouragement. Pray against unreliable fearful anticipation of the future. Wait for the friendship of grace.”

And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
* Blessed Virgin Mary.
