7TH DAY WITHIN THE OCTAVE OF CHRISTMAS - 2025

DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS

The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us.
To all who received him he gave power to become children of God. JN 1:14, 12

1 JOHN 2:18-21

My Soul's Beloved, 

We belong to Your Body. We are grafted onto You. From the beginning, it was designed by God to be so. We who are one with You are also one with the Father and the Holy Spirit. It is clear that anyone who deliberately, voluntarily, and was delusional enough to think that they know better than the Church You founded and the manner in which You have deemed it must function is, in some measure, the antichrist. The Evangelist speaks truth when he says that several antichrists have already appeared. We see this in the many factions and divisions of those who broke away from Your Body, the Church, in the past, deeming they knew better, and it continues to this day by those who think they know better than the Holy Spirit. They are blind to the truth that all division comes from the evil one. 

There is only one Church. There is only one Body. There is only one Name that saves. And there is only one form of eternal sacrifice and worship that is pleasing and acceptable to the Father. It is the sacrifice of the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world and is offered at every celebration of the Holy Mass from the rising of the sun to its setting all over the world.

We are living in the last days as we prepare for Your glorious second coming. The nearer we approach it, the greater the work of the evil one to destroy and steal as many souls as he can. While we see how well his plan is working by the evil that is rampant in our world, we can also see that many, after being disillusioned by those who claim to follow You and have found them all wanting, are now returning home to the Church You founded and are savoring with great joy the fullness of Truth found in her.

Children, these are the last days;
you were told that an Antichrist must come,
and now several antichrists have already appeared;
we know from this that these are the last days.
Those rivals of Christ came out of our own number, but they had never really belonged;
if they had belonged, they would have stayed with us;
but they left us, to prove that not one of them
ever belonged to us.
But you have been anointed by the Holy One,
and have all received the knowledge.
It is not because you do not know the truth that I am writing to you
but rather because you know it already
and know that no lie can come from the truth.

PSALM 95(96):1-2,11-13

Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad.

O sing a new song to the Lord,
sing to the Lord all the earth.
O sing to the Lord, bless his name.
Proclaim his help day by day,

Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad,
let the sea and all within it thunder praise,
let the land and all it bears rejoice,
all the trees of the wood shout for joy
at the presence of the Lord for he comes,
he comes to rule the earth.

With justice he will rule the world,
he will judge the peoples with his truth.

Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad.

JOHN 1:1-18
