“FIRST, THE FATHER!”
“Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.” (Col 1:12)
This is how the praise of God begins in the so-called Christ Hymn in the Letter to the Colossians. It serves as a reminder that all the graces we are privileged to receive through the Son of God come from our Heavenly Father. Therefore, it is right that we not overlook this, but, just as the prayers in the Holy Mass are always addressed to our divine Father, turn back to God our Father in joy, praise, and thanksgiving for everything.
“EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT”
“Surrender yourself completely to me, your loving God and Father. Then everything will work out.” (Inner Word)
What does our Heavenly Father mean by these words?
“SPEAKING FAMILIARLY WITH OUR FATHER”
“Did I not create you in My image? I did this so that you should find nothing strange when you talk on familiar terms with your Father, your Creator and your God.” (From God the Father’s message to M. Eugenia Ravasio).
“THE MERCIFUL GOD”
“God delights in mercy.” (Micah 7:18)
Our Father is not merely merciful because, otherwise, none of us humans would achieve our goal and would therefore need God’s help, as if it were a mere necessity.
“BE DEAF TO WHAT IS UNNECESSARY”
“We must not listen to much of what reaches our ears, as if we were deaf, but instead direct our mind and reason toward what brings peace to the heart.” (Thomas à Kempis).
“A WISE LIFE”
“Happy and wise is he who endeavours to be during his life as he wishes to be found at his death.” (Thomas à Kempis)
“GOD WILL DRAW NEAR TO US”
“COURAGEOUS LOVE”
“Whoever loves the Savior with courageous love never ceases to love Him in times of temptation, desolation, and despair” (St. Alphonsus Liguori)
“TRUE LIFE”
“Every word that comes from my Son’s mouth is true life.” (Inner Word)
It was the Desert Fathers who drew our attention to the fact that we should “chew the Word of God”, that is, repeat it over and over again. In this they found the true nourishment for their spiritual life.
