God’s Blue Book 123<br />

help so many people through your prayer. Never underestimate the<br />

power <strong>of</strong> your prayers and sacrifices.<br />

I called, you came. Make ready a place in your hearts for the<br />

coming <strong>of</strong> the Lord! Do not tarry. Time is short and His birth<br />

approaches. This time before <strong>Christ</strong>mas is a time to ready yourself<br />

for Him. Anticipate His birth with eagerness. The little boy, Jesus, is<br />

born to this world. He comes as a baby but His coming is such an<br />

event. What His birth, the birth <strong>of</strong> a baby, did to change all <strong>of</strong> time!<br />

So humble, the birth <strong>of</strong> a baby in a stable, and it would change<br />

all <strong>of</strong> time. This is Jesus, Son <strong>of</strong> God, made man, come to free the<br />

world <strong>of</strong> its sin. He comes as a little baby. He is born <strong>of</strong> Mary in a<br />

little town <strong>of</strong> Bethlehem. Who comes for this event? <strong>Shepherds</strong> and<br />

cows. But a light shines in the sky to broadcast this event! This is<br />

how it is with <strong>Christ</strong>. There is not a blare <strong>of</strong> trumpet, not a roll <strong>of</strong><br />

drums.<br />

Jesus comes quietly at each Mass. And who comes? God-mademan—at<br />

every Mass! It is quiet. It is not boastful. But it is Godmade-man,<br />

Son <strong>of</strong> God, come to dwell in your hearts. The only<br />

blare <strong>of</strong> trumpets and roll <strong>of</strong> drums are in your hearts. If you are<br />

not aware <strong>of</strong> God truly present there in the Eucharist you miss the<br />

big event. Angels stand by and sing but man, in all his blindness,<br />

may miss the momentum <strong>of</strong> this event. You come to Mass and quietly<br />

you approach His altar. Quietly you receive God! If you are not in<br />

tune with His teachings and what is happening here, you will miss<br />

the whole event! Only those who seek Him and spend their life<br />

directed at knowing Him realize what occurs at every Mass.<br />

Oh, you little ones, I come quietly into your hearts, but it is<br />

nonetheless the significance <strong>of</strong> the event. I am Jesus <strong>Christ</strong>, Son <strong>of</strong><br />

God. Your hearts should be pure and your tongues holy. You should<br />

come with pounding in your chest and anticipation <strong>of</strong> what is happening.<br />

Only those who know Me truly realize what occurs because<br />

I come so quietly.<br />

I am not boastful, I am God. If you miss the greatness <strong>of</strong> this<br />

occurrence, it is your own doing. I do not sound a trumpet. I come<br />

very quietly and I steal a place in your hearts. It is your readiness<br />

and your awareness <strong>of</strong> Me that makes My coming change your life.<br />

Ask Me to teach you more and more each day about Me. I am<br />

there, but in your busyness you might miss Me. I am quiet and powerful.<br />

The world is noisy and abrupt and without power. It is in the<br />

silence I come. It is in the whisper I am revealed to you. It is in your<br />

search for Me that your love for Me grows. The world flaunts its<br />

useless products in front <strong>of</strong> your eyes. It is boastful and flaunting,<br />

but it is worthless. I am quiet and hidden. I am here, but you must
