 After the homily is a an announcement regarding New Year's Day and Mass “Dear children, give the gift of your life to me and completely surrender to me so that I may help you to comprehend my motherly love and the love of my Son for you. My children, I love you immeasurably and today, in a special way, on the day of the birth of my Son, I desire to receive each of you into my heart and to give a gift of your lives to my Son. My children, Jesus loves you and gives you the grace to live in His mercy, but sin has overtaken many of your hearts and you live in darkness. Therefore, my children, do not wait, say ‘no’ to sin and surrender your hearts to my Son, because only in this way will you be able to live God’s mercy and, with Jesus in your hearts, set out on the way of salvation” Jakov's Message is Parallel to Marija's By Jakob Marshner http://www.medjugorjetoday.tv/8403/jakovs-message-is-parallel-to-marijas/ Though the Virgin Mary stayed silent and let the Christ Child give Christmas message to visionary Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti, the Virgin did speak in Medjugorje on December 25. Four and a half hour earlier she appeared to Jakov Colo, to give a message that mirrors the Christ Child’s. The two messages out of Medjugorje on Christmas Day complement each other. While the Virgin Mary stayed silent to have the Christ Child on her arm give the message to visionary Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti in an unprecedented event in the evening, Mary had spoken complementary words to visionary Jakov Colo a few hours before: “Dear children, give the gift of your life to me and completely surrender to me so that I may help you to comprehend my motherly love and the love of my Son for you. My children, I love you immeasurably and today, in a special way, on the day of the birth of my Son, I desire to receive each of you into my heart and to give a gift of your lives to my Son. My children, Jesus loves you and gives you the grace to live in His mercy, but sin has overtaken many of your hearts and you live in darkness. Therefore, my children, do not wait, say ‘no’ to sin and surrender your hearts to my Son, because only in this way will you be able to live God’s mercy and, with Jesus in your hearts, set out on the way of salvation” the Virgin Mary said, according to Jakov Colo. “I am your peace, live My Commandments” the Child Jesus said a few hours later, according to Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti. Jakov had his last daily apparition on September 12th 1998. Since then he has had an apparition every year, on Christmas Day. This year’s apparition began at 2:15 pm and lasted 10 minutes. Taking place in the visionary’s private home, the apparition was open to the public and attended by just about 200 people in Jakov’s living room, attendee Marco Piagentini tells Medjugorje Today.
MARY STAYS SILENT BUT BABY JESUS SPEAKS By Jakob Marschener http://www.medjugorjetoday.tv/8393/mary-stays-silent-but-baby-jesus-speaks/ Christmas Day 2012 saw an unprecedented event in 31 years of reported apparitions in Medjugorje: According to visionary Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti, the Virgin Mary said nothing, but left the talking to Baby Jesus. From Mary’s arms, He appealed for man to live His commandments. Mary was silent – but in an event never seen before in Medjugorje, the Christ Child spoke instead of His Mother for Christmas, said visionary Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti After more than 31 years of apparitions in Medjugorje, a never seen before event took place on Christmas Day. According to visionary Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti, the Virgin Mary came with little Jesus in her arms and did not give a message – but little Jesus began to speak and said: “I am your peace, live my commandments.” With a sign of the Cross, the little Jesus and the Virgin Mary gave a blessing, the visionary said. On rare occasions, the Virgin Mary has stayed silent before, and the visionaries have reported seeing Jesus, too, for Christmas as well as for Easter. But that Jesus speaks instead of the Virgin Mary has never been reported by a Medjugorje visionary before, throughout the more than 31 years of reported apparitions.  | Let us not close our hearts, let us not lose confidence,
let us never give up: there are no situations which God cannot change. Pope Francis 
"God has created me to do Him some definite service. He has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. I have a mission; I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons; He has not created me for naught. I shall do good—I shall do his work. I shall be an angel of peace while not intending it if I do but keep his commandments. Therefore, I will trust him." Blessed John Cardinal Newmann

Using the Consecration Prayer of St. Louis-Marie de Montfort I, (Name), a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in your hands the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before. In the presence of all the heavenly court I choose you this day for my Mother and Queen. I deliver and consecrate to you, as your slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; leaving to you the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to your good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity.

The world is like a river of which we drink
but our sins pollute the water And now the river is flooded so we must build and ark of faith and trust in divine providence I was in a room of darkness it wasn't enough to open the window for air I had to unlock the door so I searched for the key and what I found was Our Lady of Medugorje saying to: Chorus: Pray, pray pray pray, pray pray pray, for a happier day, oh come on and pray, pray pray pray, pray pray pray, and the Lord will show you the way. Me and my brothers and sisters we were struggling between heaven and hell We found it hard to understand how we got sunk into a spiral of negative and demonic spells So we went on a pilgrimage searching for healing at the heavenly wells We came across a wise man telling us children it's very simple, conversion, mass the sacraments and Chorus Oh we've got to pray, pray pray pray, pray pray pray for a happier day Need a childlike faith to enter into heaven 'til the harvesters come don't be afraid We all have our crosses to carry if we carry them humbly there's no need to worry If we forgive we'll be forgiven then our purified hearts will feel the presence of God's eternal love burn inside I ain't no religious expert but I don't have to be to know that God ain't illusion I'm testifying what I witness 'cause a faith without acts is a dead faith that's why I wrote this song so we can Chorus Oh we've got to pray, pray pray pray, pray pray pray for a happier day Pray pray pray for a happier day Got to pray for a better day Pray pray pray for a happier day Got to pray for a better day Pray pray pray for a happier day Got to pray for a better day Pray pray pray for a happier day Got to pray for a better day Pray pray pray for a happier day The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen. We seek to do as best we can in everything that is expected of us in order to become holy. The most important thing is to draw near to God by living for him; everything else is secondary.
