moans and sighs, He wailed, cried and called to everyone, saying in His

loving moans: “Come all of you, children of mine; for love of you I am
born to sorrow and to tears. Come all of you, to know the excess of my

love. Give Me shelter in your hearts.” And there was a coming and

going of shepherds, who came to visit Him, and to all He gave His

Now, my child, a little word to you: you must know that all my joy was to

hold my dear Son Jesus on my lap, but the Divine Will made Me

understand that I should place Him in the manger, at everyone’s
disposal, so that whoever wanted to, could caress Him, kiss Him, and

take Him in his arms, as if He were his own. He was the little King of all,
therefore they had the right to make of Him a sweet pledge of love. And

I, in order to fulfil the Supreme Volition, deprived Myself of my innocent

joys, beginning, with works and sacrifices, the office of Mother, of giving

her heroism and sacrifice is so great, as to have the virtue of producing

a new life of Jesus, to be able to form another dwelling for Jesus.

Therefore, dear child, be attentive and, under any pretext, never deny
anything to the Divine Will.

The Soul: Holy Mama, your beautiful lessons confound me; but if You

You see me succumb under the enormous weight of the divine
privations, You may press me to your maternal Heart; and I will feel the

strength never to deny anything to the Divine Will.

Little Sacrifice: Today, to honour Me, you will come as many as three
times to visit little Baby Jesus, and to kiss His tiny little hands; and you
