\"\"<\/a>Holiness consists in the fact that we stand in the light every day and repent immediately of our self-will, stubbornness or pride which rebels against God. We need to become aware of our sins which we have committed in our life, to bow our head and to confess: \u201cLord, I have done this and this, and now I have rebelled against You again\u2026\u201d In this way, we immediately bring the spirit of pride to light, so it flees very quickly and we receive peace and light for the next steps. All rebellion, self-pity\u2026 must be nailed to the cross daily, at all times. Without this it is not possible to truly follow Christ and to be delivered from sin. Only then will God\u2019s Word be true in our life: \u201cChrist lives in me.\u201d<\/em> Otherwise Christ cannot live in us but it is the old self which lives in us and has its own programme \u2013 hell both here on earth and after death. The old self serves the devil and is ready even to lay down its life for his sake. We must burn with holy anger: \u201cSTOP! There must be an end to it! I know whom I have believed and whom I serve! The programme for me is Jesus. He is my Way. He is my Life. I will not serve myself or my old self!\u201d If we serve ourselves and hence the spirit of pride and lies, this spirit leads us by the nose every day, every day we can see the pernicious fruit, and yet we often believe it again. We do not believe the Word of God and Christ, who is the Word Incarnate, and when the Lord tries to set us on the right path, we grumble and resist. We need to stop and repent time and time again and to give thanks for everything! \u201cO Lord, I do not understand, but I thank You.\u201d Let our hearts praise the Lord at all times: \u201cGlory to God in the highest\u2026\u201d<\/em> (Lk 2:14), as the angels sang above Bethlehem. Let us praise God like the Blessed Virgin.<\/p>\n

Even if people spat in our face, considered us criminals or beat us for the sake of Christ, let us bear in mind: \u201cI know whom I have believed. Sursum corda! \u2013 Lift up your hearts!\u201d We must always bear these thoughts in mind and, on the other hand, we must cut off and throw away all moods and proud thoughts. \u201cGet out! That\u2019s a lie! I believe God\u2019s Word!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Let each of us personally pray for this change of mind. Christ has come into the world for our sake. So let Christ really come into our lives, into the Church\u2026, let Him be born in us!<\/span><\/p>\n

He is born to us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus is born to me this day!<\/p>\n
