Our Lady’s Christmas Day Message (2): Given to the Medjugorje visionary Jacob Colo: “Today, on this day of grace, in a special way, I am calling you to complete surrender to Jesus. Surrender to Him your wounds and pains, your past and future and permit Jesus to begin to rule in your lives. Only with complete surrender, Jesus gives Himself in your life and this is the greatest gift that you can receive. Pray that you may comprehend how precious you are for Jesus and how much He loves you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With ecclesiastical approval).

Laughter Line: The children were lined up in the school cafeteria. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The teacher made a note and put it on the apple tray, which said “Take only ONE, God is watching you!” At the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies and a child had written a note, “Take all you want, God is watching the apples”
