God’s love embraces all people, whom he wants to bring to the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim 2,4). We know the way he has chosen: it is His Son Jesus, who says of Himself: “I am the Way; I am Truth and Life. No one can come to the Father except through me” (Jn 1:6). Read More

501st Meditation

God brings those who believe in Him into an ever deeper relationship with Him, and purifies them of all that hinders them from fully receiving His love. If they live in this trust that the Father asks of them, they will shine as “the light of the world” (Mt 5:14).

“And light shines in darkness…” (Jn 1:5). Read More

500th Meditation

It is important to realise that in loving us, our Father makes himself vulnerable. We can see this especially in the Passion of his Son. A very sensitive point for the Father’s Heart is when we have a false respect for Him, derived from fear of God, which then tends to manifest itself also in the relationship with His ecclesiastical representatives.

To know our Father better means to love Him more. When the gifts of the Holy Spirit unfold in us, especially the gift of understanding and wisdom, we experience a stronger encounter with the love of our Father.

How much we admire the love of a mother, who stands by her child even in the most difficult circumstances! For not a few people, this motherly love is perhaps the only thing they can rely on amidst the waves of life’s confusion and distortion. Read More

The Lord tells us: “Store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor woodworm destroys them and thieves cannot break in and steal” (Mt 6:20).

We know what He means! Indeed, everything we do moved by true love becomes the most precious gold in the heavenly treasury. Read More

St. Benedict Abbot recommended to his monks to live consciously in the presence of God. This is excellent advice, which enables man to awaken to full reality! Indeed, time and again the truth is described to us that God constantly watches over His own. God’s gaze rests upon everything and everyone. Read More

494th Meditation

“The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God” (Ps 104:21).

God’s love and care extends to all of His irrational creation. This must have prompted a St. Francis of Assisi to include all the elements in the brotherhood of creatures in his famous canticle. All that our Father has created finds its deepest meaning in Him and bears witness to Him, even though, as a result of sin, the original harmony has been disturbed and death has entered this world.

“Come, draw near: you all have the right to draw near to your Father!” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

In the world of politics there is often talk of “human rights” that must be guaranteed and respected. However, if we do not have a correct understanding of the order of values established by God, we can end up with a false idea of what human rights are. The words of the Father’s message that we heard today, on the other hand, make us see a fundamental and very profound right of our existence. Read More

With what abundance the Father provides us! Just as He gives us daily bread, He also feeds our souls with the spiritual bread we need. Day by day He speaks to us through His holy Word. Day by day His voice whispers to our heart, blessing us with His presence. Read More
