“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

“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

“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

“If a speck of imperfection clings to your heart, do not worry. Cast it immediately into the fire of divine love, and ask for forgiveness with sincere repentance. Continue to live in peace.” (St. Paul of the Cross). Read More

“My love gives life to man at every moment” (Message from the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

If we, the faithful, were to fully awaken to this reality, our entire lives would become a hymn of praise to God’s love. If all people knew and recognized this, the world would be different, and many shadows would dissipate. God’s love would shine like a radiant sun in the hearts of all. Read More

“I long to enrich you more and more!” (Message from the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

To understand our beloved Father’s heart, we must allow His words to sink deeply into our hearts. In them, we discover the nature of His love for us. God wants to make us sharers in His immeasurable riches. He longs to fill us with His gifts and is waiting only for us to be ready to receive all that He wants to give us. Read More

“Jesus delights in showing me the only path that leads to that divine fire. That path is the surrender of the little child who falls asleep without fear in his father’s arms…” (St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus). Read More

“Holiness consists simply in doing God’s will and being exactly what God wants us to be.” (St. Thérèse of Lisieux)

St. Thérèse’s God-given simplicity shows us that every person can walk this path of holiness. For us, this means seeking to know God’s will. Jesus made it clear that we show our love for Him by following His commands and living in God’s grace. If we live this way, we will understand the Lord’s instructions more and more clearly, and, endowed with the Spirit of Counsel, we will learn to discern God’s will ever more fully in whatever situation we find ourselves.
