The mouse is the "truth" or the "good word" and the little woman, who is all of mankind, goes to great length to rid herself of it. The mouse is forever faithful, not repaying harm with harm and doesn't give in until he can show his gift of love. Note: the advent calendar at the end was not a secular image but of an empty Nativity creche and that the little mouse wears the crown of the Prince of Peace.

Excellent explanation!!
I may be an old man...but I can say, "The Beautiful Great One" (God), can not only move mountains, but work great miracles, in the smallest and tiniest packages ! I enjoyed this story, it brought tears to my tired old eyes. Wado (thank you) !
He loved us first, and we can’t help but love him back.
He returned her lost wedding ring. In turn her faith was restored. The Holy Spirit's love for us never ceases, no matter how many times we try to destroy it. Spirit comes to us in many forms. For her -A Christ mouse.

My heart fell when I heard her ring hitting the floor. But I knew that she would get it back and when she had gotten it back, I was so very happy for her. But when she was feeding the mouse that touched my heart and I am wiping away tears as I write this.
Not the least bit ashamed to say that by the time she saw the gift, and read the card I was crying, and continued to do so until the end…I absolutely love this. God bless us one and all. 🥹🙏🏻♥️
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for the life lesson❤
Ein schöner Kurzfilm der für mich nur widerspiegelt, das das Tier nicht unser Feind ist, sondern der Mensch 😪.
So touching. So charming. Thank you. Years ago we had problems with mice in the house. My SO put out mouse traps. I tried buying humane traps. One morning I got up and there was a mouse in one of the traps my SO had set out. His neck had been broken. He was a little male mouse. I felt so awful. That little mouse, a little brother, providing for his family and he never came home. I removed all the mouse traps.

Lovely way to remember the grace of Jesus Christ!❤️
I am not a religious person...This is an amazing film. I loved every second of it and am even shedding tears at this moment. To the creators of this film...Thank You very much! Absolutely Beautiful!
I loved this. You could have a class discussion on it. The lady was a very good actress! Loved the crowned micey in the end. Preciousness!
Really loved this. It was a powerful film and made me want to do something about loneliness... what a brutal weight the elderly have to carry alone.

such a beautiful, creative story. Thank you.
Wow! This was so heartwarming. Thank you.
the very things that we fear are some times our greatest gifts . Loved this ;D
Delightful & good photography etc (in my humble opinion). At one time that would have been on Christmas TV
Tears are falling. Beautiful film.😢🥰I’ve passed it on to my friends❤️🐈.

That was awesome, made me laugh and even brought a tear to my eye. So many lonely people out there, and with this crazy virus thing it’s worse. God show me how to reach the lost and lonely is my prayer .
Que hermoso ♥️...me quedé en silencio, pero de entusiasmo! Es díficil para los ancianos que están solos....es peor para los que estamos solos en la mediana edad. En un momento vi a mi madre que vive con mi hermana❤, y a misma en las acciones de la señora. Gracias
Peace on Earth Good Will to All creatures
Amazing!! Totally loved this, got so absorbed in it didnt want it to end. xx
❤❤❤❤❤
I just saw this on God TV. What a sweet little film!💗💓
This is the reason why I have always loved mice . I have two beautiful ones one grey and one white , fluffy toys of course , and I can’t sleep without them . The white one is called : the snows mice . She lives in my imagination in the snows country , in my closet . She comes with me in my bed for the Christmas season which is from December 1st until February 15th . That’s my rule . The other one the grey , is The Mice . She used to travel with me all around the world as I’m an ex flight attendant . She even flew on Concorde . They are my angels , my protectors . I can’t sleep with them , I tried , but did so many nightmares that I promptly understood they were a part of a Divine combination between me and the Universe. I’m 60 , and if you ask me to spend a couple of days with you especially during winter, get ready to set up a place for three : La Souris , La Souris des Neiges and me . 🐭🐭🤠💖✨💫
THANK YOU SO MUCH 💖💖 FOR THAT 👍👍 WONDERFUL VIDEO 🤠🤠🤠
Love it. May be featuring in a Carol Service in Shrewsbury next month...

I have a house mouse. Her name is Missy. Since my biyfriend passed, she is my only companion. She is well behaved. I don't encourage her to stay, and I will not kill her. I plan to do catch and release❤
Great short film! Very edenic. I have just finished reading That Hideous Strength and it instantly reminded me of the scene where Ransom throws the crumbs on the floor and the mice come out to eat them.
What an amazing video!!! 👏🏻 Well done :)
I love this so much!
Little mouse got so fat! Can’t fit in his house anymore. 😂 Sweet ending. Thank you.
Precious !
Sweet! Thanks!

Sad end. Just one lonely insane mouse.
Is this about resisting some faith and then accepting that god is there all along?
I never laughed so hard in my life
Sweet little film. However, I would get a cat. 🐈
All animals are creatures of God
Thought it going to be like the movie Mousehunt lol
That was adorable and well done, but I don’t understand it -is it just a cute video or is there supposed to be a hidden meaning?

That's a really fat white mouse

Hi, i know that you were trying to do something good for Christmas, but it is very offensive to present Christ as a mouse. He is our God, and we have to respect him as our God and Savior, not all Christians will agree on this film, i personally do not agree on this, please Forgive me if my words are harsh. Merry Christmas ❤

Oh lighten up! Jesus used stories all the time in his teaching. He used symbols. This film is symbolic. Jesus had a sense of humour. It seems that you don’t.

Sorry but Iam not convinced by your words, sir. It's clear in the movie that Christ was presented as a mouse, and that is unacceptable and irrespective to our God. And from where did you know that Christ had a sense of humor? Did Jesus tell any Joke written in the Bible? If yes, then please show it to me. If you agree that God would be presented as a mouse then it is your responsibility not mine.

@@ritakevorkian2649 Are you afraid to see humour in the presence of the divine? Do you see Jesus as a tight lipped unsmiling puritan? Aramaic is a language full of subtleties that we in the west don’t always pick up. His speech would have been clever and witty when outsmarting the hypocrites of the day. By the way - your thumbnail picture of Jesus is a joke anyway. He was not a po faced blue eyed blond. He was a Galilean, probably swarthy and a bit rough. I am a Christian of over 70 years practice and I can find no reason to be offended by Jesus being depicted as a mouse. I think he would enjoy it. Please lighten up.

Sir, I respect your opinion, so please respect mine as well, because everyone has the right to express their opinions and thoughts. The image in my thumbnail is the image of Jesus' face on the shroud of Turin. If you haven't seen Christ's face, then how are you claiming that he looked swarthy and rough? Show me a clear evidence. I live in Egypt and people in the middle East are not as swarthy as you might think. I know that you are a Christian and you love God. But that doesn't mean accepting any Christian films without examining them. That's the point.

I think you have not understood my English - I saw that you changed your comment. WhenI say Lighten up, this has nothing to do with being enlightened. It just means please be more relaxed in your attitudes. Jesus himself said ‘I am come that you might have life, life in all its fullness.’ I don’t think he wants us to be rigid and disapproving all the time. The film about the mouse has absolutely nothing in it that is disrespectful or insulting to Jesus. It is allegory and symbolic - the way that he himself taught his followers.
Well, that was stupid and blasphemous
IDOLATRY This have nothing with Jesus Christ ... have heart and mind for your Creator LORD HOLY GOD JESUS CHRIST , not devilish ring's 💍...
Repay thoughtless cruelty with kindness.
