Christmas is often when we feel the absence of those we loved the most. Yet saints and mystics tell us that deceased loved ones at Christmas are not far away: they join our Masses, receive help from our prayers and, if they are already in Heaven, continue to love and protect us.

In her revelations, Mother Speranza of Jesus shared the most intimate truth about the final moment of life: when the soul leaves the body, Jesus does not appear as a judge, but as a loving Savior who asks one simple question — “Do you still want Me?” That answer decides eternity. Even the smallest “yes,” whispered through tears, opens Heaven. Because Divine Mercy never ends, and Love always has the last word.
