Christ spoke to me from the sanctuary, where He was Present in the tabernacle. He showed His delight in the forthcoming news about greater reverence in the Sacred Liturgy; and He turned towards His Father in Heaven, to Whom greater glory will be given by the changes.
We are right to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, and to enjoy Crib sets and other traditions; but above all we must help the needy, in honour of Him Who came to help us in our need, when we were trapped in our sins.
The Lord asked me to draw a picture of a woman wearing her mantilla in church in accordance with ancient custom. He values this sign of reverence for His Presence in the tabernacle, and reverence for His Divinity.

The Lord invites women to dress in a modest way, as suggested in the Holy Scriptures, and so help foster chastity in themselves and in others.

We might sometimes question the wisdom of surrendering to God's Will, when we imagine our own plans are good. Yet His plan for us is always best: so great, eventually, that it's as if, in following His Will, we have accepted a life with a King in His Coronation Coach, even when we had not expected such goodness.
Christians who serve Christ so well that they go straight to Heaven when they die are like those brave soldiers who have been so heroic that their courage is recognised by the Queen, who is pleased to meet them at an investiture, to give them a medal.
Our Beloved Lady came to me in my hotel room. She was radiant, and glorious as a Queen. She consoled me in my difficulties, and assured me that her son was pleased with me, and glad that I persevere to bring encouragement to many in the Church.
Mary, the First Tabernacle: The Lord explained that since His Mother Mary was the first 'tabernacle', as she carried Christ within herself, it would be good for someone to sculpt a figure of Mary, with tabernacle doors placed where her heart would be: the heart which welcomed Him from the first moment.
We are right to honour Mary, the Blessed Virgin, through whom the Father gave us His Son, and all the graces we receive in the Church, especially in the Holy Eucharist. We would be right to surmount a 'Mary-style' tabernacle with an image of Christ in glory.
Our Blessed Lady stretched out her arms to me, showing me how pleased she is to be loved and welcomed. The Lord wants us to treat her as our Heavenly Mother, and to show love towards her, and not just to speak as if she is merely a 'type' or a 'model' for Christians.
The graces that God pours out upon souls at the mention of Jesus' name in our prayers are like a 'rain' of emeralds, rubies and other precious stones in earthly life. We all ought to pray in His name, so that spiritual treasures will enrich those we love, and people in need.
Whenever we pray in Jesus' name, we bring down treasure from Heaven, like a shower of jewels, to enrich the spiritual lives of ourselves or other people.
Christ sees, as one of the sad mistakes in the Church today, the failure of some of the Clergy to speak necessary truths. Some are afraid to speak about marriage, or reverence, in case they 'drive people away'. Mutual flattery replaces the frank catechesis we need.

A wise Christian never says: 'This path before me is so difficult or painful that God can't possibly want me to follow it'. A friend of Christ follows where Christ has led him, avoiding an easier route. He steers straight towards the Heavenly Jerusalem.
Each friend of Christ must make a journey before he can reach Heaven. By Baptism we cross a chasm, and are freed from sin. Then there are deserts and mountain ranges, and other features, before we reach the glorious 'City' on the horizon.
The Godhead is like an opaque cloud, in that we cannot pierce it by our sight to understand God's plans and thoughts. Yet we know His Will for us, which is that we keep His Commandments and fulfil our daily duties.
