Dear Friends,
Well, Christmas is still taking place for me on earth. And although my position hasn’t changed substantially, I’m optimistic these days that we’ll be seeing each other again…. Today something came to my cell, wrapped in paper, on which I recognized the backward-sloping handwriting. And then I knew who the sender was….
And the care you’re giving my mother and the little girl. Please God I’ll be able to make it all up to you one day. A big blessing to all from the divine Child. Good wishes and greetings. And the light will surely shine in the middle of the night. A.
I’m saying one of my Christmas Masses for 23.
