Jesus said: “My people, in today’s readings you read how Samson and St. John the Baptist had miraculous births by their mothers who conceived in their old age. Zachariah was made mute by St. Gabriel for not believing the angel’s message. His mouth was loosened when St. John the Baptist was being named. By these miracles, the people knew that this child would have a special mission. St. John the Baptist was the herald in the desert to announce My coming. All of these accounts show you My plan of salvation for all of mankind. My Blessed Mother also had a miraculous birth of Myself, but it was by the Holy Spirit that she conceived Me. Truly you can see how the Blessed Trinity can do the impossible.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have read the accounts of My birth in a stable because My parents could not find room at the inns with any privacy. I was born and placed in a manger where the animals ate their food. This was a humble setting in Bethlehem. We traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem which was difficult to travel in My day with a donkey. Later in life, I traveled on a colt into Jerusalem with palms celebrating My coming. Give praise and thanks to God that I came as a God-man so I could sacrifice My life for all the sins of mankind.”
