As You give us to understand, Beloved Father, You are not far away, but very close to us, and You will come even closer, to the extent that we allow You and open our hearts to You.
Since this is so and You call us to infinite trust, knowing that You are watching over all that happens to Your children, we come to You also at this hour of history, to ask You what is currently happening on earth. Read More
Dear Father, it is true that only in eternity, as we contemplate You from face to face, will we experience the fullness of happiness, towards which we are heading. There is no doubt about it!
However, it is not that You want us to experience only tribulation until then, even if this sometimes helps us not to enjoy a false happiness. If this were so, Beloved Father, You would not have told us through our friend St. Paul that we should always rejoice (Phil 4:4). Read More
Dear Father, we are often confronted with evil, both within and without us. Sometimes it might even seem that evil triumphs. It appears powerful and tries to obscure our vision and determine our feelings.
To Mother Eugenia You said:
“Do you wish to gain victory over your enemy? Call upon Me and you will triumph over him.” Read More
Dear Father, your Son promised us in the Gospel:
“Anyone who loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make a home in him.” (Jn 14:23)
Father, we not only want to invite You, but we cry out with all our heart: Come to us, make Yourself at home in us! We want to prepare a dwelling place for You where You can abide. Come and do not delay; stay forever. Read More
Beloved Father, in the wonderful Message you conveyed to Mother Eugenia Ravasio, You tell us how You accompanied a certain man throughout his life and showered him with blessings. However, that man did not respond to Your courtship; he became entangled in sin, thus constantly offending You. But You did not cease to call him, nor did You cease to fight for him. Shortly before his death, he finally repented of his evil life and called upon You by the name of “Father”; and You rejoiced that You could forgive him and that he would be with You in eternity.

Beloved Father, this series of meditations is a Novena in Your honour, and is to help men – Your beloved children – to know You more deeply.
It will also serve to fulfil Your wish that the Church will soon establish a liturgical Feast on which You will be honoured as “Father of all Mankind”. You entrusted this desire of Yours to Mother Eugenia Ravasio. Read More
To know You, O Father, is life; true life; eternal life…
Indeed, it is this that we always seek… We are constantly on the lookout for something that will fulfil us, that will make us happy – according to our concept of happiness -; for something that will last… But can there be true happiness without You? Read More
To You, Heavenly Father,
we entrust ourselves wholly and unreservedly,
for You are our loving and most beloved Father.
I place these words as the beginning of the novena to God the Father which we begin today, for this is how we men should live. Read More
Ex 20:1-17
And the Lord spoke all these words: I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth.
Mt 10: 26-32
Gospel for the memorial of Saint Pantaleon, Martyr
At that time, Jesus said to his apostles: Therefore fear them not. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed: nor hid, that shall not be known. That which I tell you in the dark, speak ye in the light: and that which you hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops.
