Blessed Mother says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Dear children, this year as you contemplate the manger scene, make yourselves as humble as a piece of straw under My Son's Head as He slept in the manger. God created every piece of straw in the manger for the purpose of comforting Him and supporting Him.”

“Is it not true that each soul has been created for the same purpose? God's Will is that your prayers and sacrifices comfort and support Jesus in His present-day need. You should be happy to remain hidden, like the straw under My Son's Head, doing what God created you for. The straw does not want a different role. It just exists to make My Son happy. Let it be so for each one of you.”

Read Luke 2:7 *

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.
