During His life in Nazareth, Jesus honored the Virgin Mary and righteous Joseph, being subject to their authority during the whole time of His infancy and adolescence (Luke 2:51-52). The Gospel reveals the most authentic and profound vocation of the family: that of supporting each one of its members on the path of discovery of God and of the plan he has ordained for them.

St. John followed John the Baptist when he preached repentance in the wilderness of Jordan and was one of the two disciples who heard the Baptist exclaim, "Behold the Lamb of God!" and followed and asked the Lord where he dwelt. This was probably the starting-point of the entire devotion of heart and soul which lasted through the life of the Beloved Apostle.

JESUS CHRIST, eternal God and Son of the eternal Father, desiring to consecrate the world by his most loving presence, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and when nine months had passed since his conception, was born of the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem of Judah, and was made man: The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to the flesh.

Practice continually the virtues that Jesus Christ has taught with his divine words. This is the best preparation that you could make for the great Solemnity of Christmas. …Above all, continue in a profound interior recollection without ever neglecting holy prayer. In that way you will make a devout preparation and you will be very pleasing to Jesus Christ and Mary Most Holy.

Come with me in spirit to the holy altar in the solemn celebration of the Divine Mysteries, asking the Sovereign Divine Infant, Christ Jesus, to celebrate in your hearts mystically this Divine Birth, so they may be reborn in the Divine Word‑Made‑Man to a new life, all godlike and holy, and especially you.

Just as I have full confidence that in the celebration of the holy Divine Mysteries you will have been reborn in Christ Jesus to a new and godlike life, so I desire that you die mystically in Christ a little more every day and allow those butterflies that flit through your mind, those things of naught, to disappear in the depth of the Divinity. "Your life is hidden with Christ in God."

I will offer you feastday greetings in prayer from the holy altar, both during this novena and in the coming holy solemnity. I have strong hope that in your blessed soul there will take place your Divine Birth in the Divine Word, for I hope that you are always more a friend of interior solitude and of staying in the bosom of God, for that is the place of holy, pure, and elevated prayer.

If you will be faithful, as I hope, then that spiritual Divine Birth will take place in the temple of your soul not only now, but always, provided you remain faithful and alone in your interior, reposing your spirit on the bosom of God in a sacred silence of faith and holy love.

I desire that your heart be the crib of the gentle Infant so that he may be born there mystically; and that will happen if you will be faithful, as I hope, in keeping yourself hidden in interior solitude, sleeping like the Infant on the Cross and making all your afflictions die in the fire of divine charity with a true, silent, and total abandonment to the Will of God.

I would wish that you celebrate Christmas in the poor stable of your heart, where the gentle Jesus will be born spiritually. Present this poor stable to Mary Most Holy and to Saint Joseph so that they may adorn it with virtues so the Divine Infant will be happy there. Sleep with him on the crib of the cross, and at the divine lullaby that Mary Most Holy will sing, go to sleep with the Divine Infant, being in union with his heart.

On the Holy Night, may all of you be reborn in the Divine Word‑Made‑Man to a completely holy life, rich in all the virtues of Jesus Christ, especially true humility of heart, obedience, and meekness, along with true patience, which "has a perfect work." In this way all of you will make yourselves fit instruments for the glory of God and the profit of souls.
