April 18 marks the birth of the LORD, a day eagerly awaited by readers of the Grail Message to celebrate the anniversary of His coming to Earth. Yet it is observed that only few readers of the Grail Message take the time for quiet reflection on this occasion. Every year, April 18 carries many unseen events: those who follow the Grail Message and open themselves up on this date receive divine strength.

The birth of Jesus, celebrated worldwide on December 25, is being questioned as the truth about His actual date of birth gradually emerges. Some researchers are endeavouring to determine whether Jesus was indeed born on December 25.

The various accounts relating to the birth of Jesus were reshaped to lead people and believers to recognize Jesus as the Son of God and the awaited Messiah. The reshaping of the narrative as presented in the Grail Message aims to deepen of understanding and strengthen faith in Jesus.

Although Jesus’ birth was willed by God, the message conveyed to Mary, the mother of Jesus, by the Angel was misunderstood and misinterpreted by humans for a long time, to the extent that certain aspects were distorted.

The Angel who came to Mary and Joseph was surrounded by a remarkable intense light, so strong that it could have caused blindness. In order to perceive the Angel, it was necessary to open the spiritual eye, as the light prevented any ordinary physical vision. The Angel did not speak aloud: he communicated his message to Mary through thought. Consequently, Mary saw the Angel before her without hearing any words; all communication took place mentally, similar to transmission from the Beyond.

There is, however, a difference that is often overlooked between an angel, whose light is especially intense, and a messenger of God, who may appear to servants in a vision. Despite these differences, they are all messengers of the Light.

Theresa, the mother of the Lord, had already had several children before the His birth. Desiring to expand her family, she experienced an inexplicable cessation of her ability to conceive. Concerned, she consulted her family doctor, who assured her that no medical problem had been detected.

Theresa, chosen by the Light to welcome the Lord to Earth, did not know that her life was at the centre of meticulous preparations, orchestrated from the Beyond. These arrangements were intended to ensure that everything unfolded according to the Will of the Light. This mission underscored the importance of her role as well as the need for special preparation, thus revealing her essential place in the fulfilment of this great event.

Theresa had already had several children before the Lord’s birth. Her family history highlights the unique nature of the mission entrusted to her, as the coming of the Lord to Earth required specific preparation. The responsibility resting upon her went beyond that of an ordinary mother: welcoming the Lord demanded particular attention and commitment, underscoring the importance of the family setting and the conditions in which the Lord was to be born.

To welcome the Lord, she had to devote herself to purifying the 'BRIDGE' through which He would come into the world. This work of purification, orchestrated from the Beyond, was intended to enable the Lord to pass through this passage in the best possible condition, in accordance with the Will of the Light. This meticulous and spiritual process demonstrates that the Lord’s birth was no ordinary event, but rather the outcome of profound and sacred preparation.

Furthermore, there was a significant age gap between the Lord’s brother, who preceded Him immediately, and the Lord Himself. This family fact highlights the uniqueness of the Lord’s arrival, marked by singular circumstances and a distinct arrangement within Theresa’s exceptional family.

Theresa had not expected to have any more children and was convinced that her family was now complete. At the beginning of her pregnancy, she was completely unaware of her condition, until a midwife, who had received a message of Light from a messenger of God during a vision, intervened. Guided by a dream in which she saw Theresa pregnant, the midwife went to her home and advised her to undergo medical tests. It was through these tests that Theresa discovered that she was expecting the Coming of the Lord.

This midwife, who was actually a nurse from the Beyond who had been incarnated on Earth to assist with the birth of Lord, and she brought Theresa a new, intense joy, comparable to that experienced during a first pregnancy. Despite the fact that Theresa had already had children, the Light wished for her to experience this with joy.

She kept her pregnancy a secret, not wanting to tell the Lord’s father, who doubted that she could have any more children. The midwife became a close friend of Theresa’s, which the husband simply interpreted as a friendly relationship, unaware of the true reason for their meetings. Once her pregnancy was visible, Theresa finally revealed to him that she was expecting a child. The Lord’s entire mission unfolded in secrecy, including His birth, until the day He came into the world. Theresa rarely went out, and few people knew that she had given birth to a boy.

Even Theresa’s brother, Uncle Mittag, was surprised to learn of the birth of Oscar Ernst, a child unlike his siblings. Intrigued, he decided to visit his sister to see the child. The night before his visit, he had a dream: He saw the Lord surrounded by His friends, preaching the Word of God. Upon waking, he realized that Oscar Ernst would be a Servant of God, but he did not share this dream with Theresa. The uncle observed Oscar Ernst during His visits, noting His special character and the difference in the way he spoke compared to Theresa’s other children. When Oscar Ernst was three years old, his uncle took Him into his own home for a few weeks, where servants looked after Him.

Although the Lord’s birth had taken place in great secrecy, the neighbours had noticed that Oscar Ernst, Theresa’s child, was different from the other children in the family. Several years passed before Theresa was able to have another child. The Lord’s two younger brothers were also servants of God on a mission on Earth.

Theresa’s ‘Birth Bridge’ had been purified by the coming of the Lord, enabling God’s servants to use it to fulfil their mission of Light on Earth. There was a gap of several years between Oscar Ernst and His younger brothers. This process was part of the work of Light, which people did not understand at that time. Thus, the birth of the Sons of God was thus perceived as a work of the Light.

The Lord was born into a modest family, and He grew up as an ordinary child, never wanting for anything, thanks to His uncle Mittag, who bought Him luxurious clothes. His friends found it difficult to understand Him; although He was the same age as them, He already behaved like an adult.

When He was five, His older brother gave Him a small paperback children’s book containing illustrated stories about Jesus. Oscar Ernst carried this book with Him everywhere and told His family that He wanted to be like Jesus when He grew up, a man who would preach the Word of God.

His father responded by saying that a man’s worth was measured by his work, and that Jesus had done no work other than preach the Word of God. Oscar Ernst retorted that preaching the Word of God was noble work and that serving God was a good thing. His father then asked where the got that idea from, but the Lord did not reply.

Faithful to His mission of compassion and help, the Lord aspired to perform a miracle every year on the anniversary of His coming to Earth: April 18. On this occasion, He paid particular attention to women suffering from the inability to bear children. Deeply moved by their distress, He prayed fervently for those facing health problems and illness, wishing to bring them comfort and hope through the Force of His prayer.

Olga’s Story

Olga, a Russian woman living in Austria, had been going through a difficult time for three years, unable to conceive. Her nationality made her vulnerable to mockery and criticism from her husband and her Austrian in-laws. In search of solace, she would often visit the banks of a nearby small river, where she would cry over her situation and pray to God for intervention. Near this spot was a shop that sold all sorts of goods.

Oscar Ernst, who was eleven years old at the time, used to visit the shop regularly to buy things for his mother and sister. During each visit, He would see Olga sitting on a bench, her face marked by sadness. Moved by her suffering and compassionate towards women, Oscar Ernst would pretend to walk past Olga, discreetly listening to her prayers. It was pure chance that every time He went to the shop, He would find Olga in the same spot, immersed in her grief.

One particularly cold Thursday, Olga was still sitting on her bench, weeping. Too young to strike up a conversation with her, Oscar Ernst stopped behind her, pretending to throw stones into the water while praying for her. When Olga noticed His presence, she looked at Him; it was then that the Force of God acted upon her. She stopped crying and left. Oscar Ernst sat down in her place, bowed His head and clasped His hands to pray to God to resolve this woman’s situation. He then continued on His way to the shop.

That evening, as He prayed before going to sleep, Oscar Ernst thought of Olga and felt deep sadness for her. For several months, He saw no sign of Olga on her bench and could ask no one for news of her.

One summer’s day, people gathered by the river to feed the ducks. Oscar Ernst watched the scene unfold when He spotted a woman pushing a stroller. It was Olga, beaming and having gained weight, taking a walk with her baby. Delighted to see her like this, He hurried to run the errands His sister had entrusted to Him, then returned to His room to tell His Essential friends about Olga’s transformation – she was now a mother.

Oscar Ernst did not understand how this miracle had come about. Thinking of Olga, the Essentials gathered around Him in great numbers and acted to purify her ‘bridge’ in preparation for the birth. They read the Lord’s thoughts and intervened according to His will. Through the Force of God, a soul awaiting incarnation on Earth was able to use this purified bridge to enter the world. Many souls await an opportunity to incarnate, and when one arises, the Light seizes it to send them forth.

Eugénie’s Story

Eugénie was a Frenchwoman and a friend of the Bourgeois, with whom the Lord worked when He was seventeen going on eighteen years old. During their conversations, the Lord often heard Eugénie confide in her friend about her desire to have children, a wish that had been thwarted for years. Accustomed to helping people, the Lord would observe their faces from a distance, seeking to perceive their sadness and understand their problems. He would then ask His Guide to shed light on these difficulties. Once informed of them, He would pray for the individuals concerned, always acting with discretion and never engaging in direct conversation.

When the Lord heard Eugénie complaining about her inability to bear children, He decided to act on her behalf. On the day of His own birth, April 18, He chose meditation over celebration. Closing His eyes, He had a vision of Eugénie, who had undergone several abortions in her youth. He then realized that her blockage stemmed from this painful past and that the solution was for her to ask the Light for forgiveness. A priest received a message in a dream that was to be conveyed to Eugénie. She did not hesitate to ask God for forgiveness for her sin of abortion and for her lack of love, acting out of jealousy and hatred.

The prayer the Lord offered on His birthday allowed the Force of God to act and open Eugénie’s birth bridge. But Eugénie had to repent for her behaviour and her flaws. The Divine Force could not intervene while this blockage remained. Once she had repented in church before the priest, the birth bridge was purified and God’s Force was able to act. Everything was done discreetly in case her husband Georges, an occultist, might have prevented the process of the Light from unfolding normally. The Light sought to help Eugénie, who was deprived of joy and a child, while souls in the Afterlife were waiting to use her bridge.

Eugénie became pregnant without noticing any particular change and continued to have her monthly cycle. The Essentials watched over the foetus to ensure its protection. Eugénie experienced unusual cravings for which she could not explain the reason, but which helped to protect her unborn child.

Georges went away on a business trip and was gone for a while. One Sunday, Eugénie went to church, felt unwell, and decided to visit her sister, Lucie. While they were chatting in the living room, Eugénie felt fluid running down her legs. Lucie, a mother herself, immediately recognized the signs of labour. A a few minutes later, Eugénie felt the baby starting to come out. Lucie called the neighbour, Augustine, a nurse, who came quickly and helped Eugénie give birth to a girl. Eugénie was shocked and could not believe her eyes. Lucie was trembling at the event. A few days later, Eugénie was discharged from the hospital with her baby. Lucie helped her with the care and they kept it a secret from Georges.

After a month away, Georges returned home and was surprised to find a baby. Eugénie told him everything. Everyone was overjoyed; they named the girl Rose. Upon learning of Rose’s birth, the Bourgeois’s wife shared in their happiness. Rose was protected by the Light, for Georges was forbidden to have children. She grew up under divine protection and became her father’s favourite; she even convinced him to renounce the occult and follow the path of the Light.
 

Geneviève’s Story

During a trip to Los Angeles, the Lord had arranged to meet His friend Jackson. On His way to the bus stop, He noticed a crowd nearby. Intrigued, He approached and saw a woman lying on the ground, in labour. While passersby merely watched without reacting, the Lord took the initiative of sending the Essentials to protect the woman and her baby. He asked the Light to transmit Its Force to ease the woman’s labour pains, then called upon the Nurses from the Beyond to help her give birth.

The woman, named Geneviève, was screaming in pain, but under the spiritual Nurses’ guidance, she calmed down and even felt sleepy. Another woman at the scene took off her jacket to cover Geneviève, enabling the Nurses to carry out their task. The onlookers thought they were simply waiting for the ambulance to arrive, unaware that the Light was already at work. Geneviève did not even realize exactly when the baby came out of her womb, marvelling at how quickly and gently it happened.

When the ambulance arrived, Geneviève and her baby were taken to hospital for further care, but the essential work had already been done. The midwives were surprised to discover that Geneviève had given birth in the street without medical assistance, yet had received care akin to that provided by a nurse. They asked Geneviève if a midwife had been present, but she replied that a woman had merely covered her with clothes and that no one had actually assisted with the birth – everyone had been waiting for the ambulance.

Geneviève stayed in the hospital with her son, whom she named Miracle. It was on the Lord’s birthday, April 18, that Miracle was born on the street with the help of the Nurses from the Afterlife. He received a gift from God and, as he grew up, he displayed remarkable intelligence by inventing things from a very young age. By helping his mother sell his inventions, he improved their situation and contributed to their well-being.

The Light is open to everyone born on April 18 each year on Earth. This day holds special significance because it was on this date that God, in His Great Mercy, bestowed a Grace upon humanity by sending His Son, the Son of Man, on a mission to Earth. His mission was to convey the Teaching of the Grail Message to humanity. Thus, anyone born on this day receives Divine Grace, bestowed from the Beyond. It is not uncommon for some people born on April 18 to feel an inner calling or a deep need to accomplish something on a spiritual level. Readers of the Grail Message, aware of the significance of these teachings, are invited to thank God for the Grace received.

On April 18 each year, it is recommended that you turn your thoughts to the Divine and pray that the Force of Light may accompany you. The path of the Light of Truth is not an easy one; it is strewn with obstacles that cause some to turn away from it and follow paths that are not the Truth. Yet there is only one path: that of the Light of Truth. Stray from this path and you risk losing your way, as disobedience to God’s Will leads to other paths that are not the Truth.

God’s Grace is offered to humanity every year. Everyone is free to receive it or let it pass them by. It is therefore essential to open oneself to God’s Force in order to benefit fully from It.

MUCH STRENGTH TO YOU ALL.
