Mt 20:20-28
In these days the mother of Zebedee’s sons came with her sons to make Jesus a request and bowed low; and he said to her, ‘What is it you want?’ She said to him, ‘Promise that these two sons of mine may sit one at your right hand and the other at your left in your kingdom.’ Jesus answered, ‘You do not know what you are asking.

If we want to deepen our relationship with our Heavenly Father, it is important to take time to be alone with Him. Many fruits could be listed that arise from this intimacy. However, there is one reason that can be our main motivation for seeking and cultivating this silent dialogue with our Father. He Himself mentions it:
“No one can imagine the joy I experience when I am alone with a soul!” Read More
Gen 18:20-32
In these days Yahweh said, ‘The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin is so grave, that I shall go down and see whether or not their actions are at all as the outcry reaching me would suggest. Then I shall know.’ While the men left there and went to Sodom, Yahweh remained in Abraham’s presence. Abraham stepped forward and said, ‘Will you really destroy the upright with the guilty?

God created us from nothing. His only motivation was His love for us. That is why He created man in the image of Himself (Gen 1:27) and clothed him with great dignity.
This is what the Father conveys to us in the Message to Mother Eugenia:
“When I create a person from nothing, from dust, from the element of the earth, I give him something very great; something that comes from Me: the spirit, the soul. Read More
Gal 2:19-20
In fact, through the Law I am dead to the Law so that I can be alive to God. I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me. The life that I am now living, subject to the limitation of human nature, I am living in faith, faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. Read More
Various practices of piety have arisen among the faithful to honour God the Father: Rosaries and litanies dedicated to Him, different prayers of consecration, among others… A form of worship that is proper to us is the “Office to God the Father”, as well as various ejaculatory prayers that can be repeated as a prayer of the heart. These newly initiated daily impulses are also intended to serve this purpose. Read More
2 Cor 5:14-20
Optional reading for the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene
For the love of Christ constraineth us when we consider that if one man died for all, then all have died; his purpose in dying for all humanity was that those who live should live not any more for themselves, but for him who died and was raised to life. Read More

Mt 13:10-17
Then the disciples went up to Jesus and asked, ‘Why do you talk to them in parables?’ In answer, he said, ‘Because to you is granted to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven, but to them it is not granted. Anyone who has will be given more and will have more than enough; but anyone who has not will be deprived even of what he has. Read More
God longs for us men to love Him and that this love be also expressed in a special worship and veneration.
We can imagine what it is like when we ourselves are filled with love and want to share this love with others… And if we, who are so imperfect, are urged to transmit this love to others, how much more our Father, who is the very source of love! In fact, the worship and veneration that God the Father asks for, have as their profound aim that our hearts turn to Him and that we discover and correspond to the true sense of our existence.
