GOD’S LOVE IS FOR EVERYONE

Author ElijaPosted on

“Just as the sun shines on all trees and flowers as if each were the only one on earth, so too does God care for all souls in a special way.” — Therese of the Child Jesus.

This helps us understand well what St. Therese of Lisieux is saying. Our Father’s love is for all people, and He wants to call everyone into His kingdom. No one is excluded from this love, neither the righteous nor the sinner. Yet the difference lies in whether one accepts God’s love and begins to live in it, or whether one’s heart remains closed. And it is indeed true that each person is loved uniquely by God, as if our Father were caring for only that one person. This is possible for God because He is love. There are no limits within our Father, and therefore His love never ceases. He calls those who are far from Him to repentance so that He may bestow His gifts upon them. He teaches those who already live with Him to grow in His love. Read More

Part XIII: Concluding reflections

Author ElijaPosted on

Over the past few weeks, I have discussed two serious topics in my daily meditations. In the first series, I spoke about self‑deception and other deceptions that have recently occurred in the world and in the Church. In the second series—which, in a certain sense, could be considered an extension of the first—we have spoken about the advent of a specific Antichrist, whose spirit, from my point of view, is already working intensely to prepare for his seizure of power.

GOD IS EVERYTHING

Author ElijaPosted on

“I am your freedom and your joy, just as I am for my Son and the angels” (Inner Word).

If we understood these words, we would stop seeking freedom and joy that do not come from our Father. We would realize that earthly pleasures do not truly fulfill the soul; in fact, they can leave it feeling empty. The same is true of freedom. “If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed,” says the Lord (Jn 8:36). To attain true freedom, our heart must belong to God because it was created by and for Him. Once surrendered to Him, everything else falls into place according to that hierarchy. But if it does not belong to Him completely, then other things and people take the place that belongs to God.

Part XII:  The spiritual armor

Author ElijaPosted on

After the eleven previous meditations in this series, it has certainly become clear to us that the Antichrist, who is to appear in the End Times before the Second Coming of Christ, will be a person deeply influenced by Satan. By perverting the hypostatic union of the Son of God, who took on human nature without losing His divine nature, the Antichrist will enter into a kind of “pseudomystical union” with Lucifer. Soloviev alludes to this in his Short Tale of the Antichrist, which I summarized in Part III of this series (https://en.elijamission.net/part-iii-the-antichrist-in-solovyovs-narrative/). Read More

DIVINE FRIENDSHIP

Author ElijaPosted on

“I offer you a divine friendship and a union of wills” (Inner Word).

A divine friendship? Doesn’t that sound a bit far‑fetched? Well, in the Message to Mother Eugenia, our Father Himself expressed that He wants to be our friend. And let us not forget Jesus’s words to his disciples: “You are my friends if you do what I command you.  No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.“ (John 15:14-15) Read More

Part XI:  Other forms of spiritual resistance

Author ElijaPosted on

Anyone with eyes to see will undoubtedly be able to discern the extent to which a “different spirit” is exerting influence on the ecclesiastical hierarchy and, consequently, also on the faithful who trust in its guidance. While it is good for the sheep to follow their shepherds, obedience is abused when the shepherds no longer lead the flock along the path God has laid out for them. Unfortunately, this is precisely what is happening at crucial junctures. Read More

THE PERMANENT PRESENCE OF GOD

Author ElijaPosted on

“I desire man to remember often that I am right there, where he is.” (Message from God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

With these words our Father reminds us that there is not a single moment in our lives when He is far from us. God is always there—whether to call us to conversion when we have strayed, or to strengthen and shape us according to His will when we live in His grace. Nothing is hidden from our Father, who in all things seeks to make people understand His goodness and to help them recognize just how much they depend on Him. Read More

Part X: Spiritual resistance

Author ElijaPosted on

With today’s meditation, we come to the end of the list of serious deviations within the Church that reveal the influence of the anti-Christian spirit.

We have yet to mention the unhealthy rejection of the Holy Mass in its traditional rite, as it was celebrated for so many centuries. This rejection became evident in various statements and measures during the last pontificate, particularly in the Motu Proprio Traditiones Custodes. Thus, Pope Benedict XVI’s intention to allow the Tridentine Mass to receive the respect and practice it deserves was largely thwarted. Read More

DENYING ONESELF

Author ElijaPosted on

“I assure you that victory consists in overcoming yourself. That is your greatest enemy.”  (St. Paul of the Cross)

Today we hear once again a saying of St. Paul of the Cross. How valuable are the words of the saints! They often spring from a very intimate communion with God. Sometimes they are words inspired in them by the Lord Himself; at other times they are the fruit of a long spiritual journey. In any case, they are gems we should treasure. Read More

Part IX: Anti-Christian influence in the Church

Author ElijaPosted on

When considering whether the Church, or rather its current leadership, is under the influence of the Antichrist, I noted the public veneration of Pachamama in the Vatican Gardens and St. Peter’s Basilica as a deeply troubling first sign. I mentioned this example in yesterday’s meditation because it is the most illustrative, standing in stark contrast to what God entrusted to his people in the Old Testament and to the mission entrusted to the Church. How many martyrs shed their blood for refusing to sacrifice to idols? An act of idolatry in the Vatican is so absurd that one cannot help but wonder what kind of blindness has spread for something like this to happen. Read More
