HOW SWEET IT IS TO LIVE IN THE TRUTH

Author ElijaPosted on

180º Meditation

 

“And you who are in the true light, tell them how sweet it is to live in the truth!” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).

Our Father always has in mind the salvation of all, who are called to live in such a way that the meaning of their existence is fulfilled completely and that they experience “how sweet it is to live in the truth”. Therefore, it is not surprising that our Father encourages His own to transmit the truth to others, especially to those who are still trapped in darkness. Read More

In the midst of the darkness, a light shines… It is the shining light of faith, which guides us through the darkness that surrounds us today. Faith does not allow itself to be disturbed, but continues to praise the Coming of Christ, His Birth in Bethlehem. This same faith makes us vigilant not to overlook the signs of the times and to be prepared for the Return of Christ. Read More

In the meditations of December 9 and 10, we had focused on the darkness we see around us. Although it is undoubtedly dense darkness, it should not lead us to surrender, to a fatalistic attitude, as if we could not defend ourselves against it. Read More

THE FIRST WORD UPON AWAKENING

Author ElijaPosted on

178th Meditation

When I awake in the morning, You, Father, are already there, and all night You have watched over me. Then You expect me to turn to You and my first word to be consecrated to You, gladly and joyously! But sometimes I forget and let myself be carried away by moods. What a pity!

How important is this first word: the greeting to You! It places me in the truth of being, for who in the order of the redeemed Creation would not greet You? Read More

NOTE: We will pause today in the “Advent in Apocalyptic Times” series because, since it is Sunday, we want to meditate on the biblical texts for this day.

James 5:7-10

Now be patient, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. Think of a farmer: how patiently he waits for the precious fruit of the ground until it has had the autumn rains and the spring rains! You too must be patient; do not lose heart, because the Lord’s coming will be soon. Read More

THE GLORY OF JESUS IS ALSO THE GLORY OF THE FATHER

Author ElijaPosted on

177th Meditation

The more we love Jesus, the more we love our Heavenly Father, who sent Him into the world. Everything we do to the glory and honour of the Son of God also glorifies the One from whom He proceeds. Through Jesus, we come to the Father (cf. Jn 14:6).

However, the Father desires to be honoured with an own feast and cult, even beyond the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. Read More

GOD´S GREATEST GIFT

Author ElijaPosted on

176th Meditation

What great mercy you had towards us in sending us your Son Jesus! With incomparable love you set your gaze upon us, who so often run away from you or even turn against you, who offend you with our sins or simply forget you. You, on the other hand, are always present and look at us with love. You care attentively for us, because you do not want us to lead a meaningless life, let alone to be lost forever. Read More

Darkness covers the earth (ADVENT IN APOCALYPTIC TIMES, Part II)

NOTE: As of yesterday, we have begun in the daily meditations a series entitled “Advent in Apocalyptic Times”. If anyone would prefer to listen to a meditation on the reading or the gospel of the day, you can find it at the following link: http://en.elijamission.net/a-burning-heart/

“Night still covers the earth and darkness the peoples…” (Is 60:2).

We cannot close our eyes or overlook the great darkness that hangs over the peoples. Just as we must not allow ourselves to be swallowed up by it, giving too much weight to the plans of evil and occupying ourselves excessively with them, it would also be a mistake to overlook it or to want to ignore it.
