113^th Meditation on God the Father

After having thematized in these last two daily reflections the goodness of our Heavenly Father and His desire to forgive even our most atrocious sins, I would like to simply “let” the Father Himself speak today, by quoting two passages from the Message to Mother Eugenia Ravasio on this subject.

My intention is to give encouragement to each person. Whatever the situation in which we find ourselves, we can always turn to our loving Father. We must never let ourselves be carried away by despair! Each person, having received the Lord’s forgiveness, can begin to “lay up treasures in heaven” (Mt 6:20), to gather gold for the Kingdom of God.  Read More

112^th Meditation on God the Father

“Even if your sins were as repulsive as mud, your confidence and your love will make Me forget them, so you will not be judged! I am just, it is true, but love pays for everything!” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).

Our Father speaks here of grave and repugnant sins, which perhaps we ourselves find it difficult to forgive. Not infrequently it happens that people, once they recognize the magnitude of their faults, fall into despair and are unable to forgive themselves. Thus, they block their own lives and, despite having received God’s forgiveness, sin continues to cast its shadow over them. Read More

111^th Meditation on God the Father

“I am the best of Fathers! I know My creatures’ weaknesses! Come to Me, come with confidence and love! I will forgive you after you have repented” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

It is that simple… That is how simple God’s love is offered to us day by day.

It was God who took upon Himself our faults, nailing them to the Cross. He carried all our sufferings and sins to Mount Calvary. Read More

110^th Meditation on God the Father

“I therefore desire man to remember often that I am right there, where he is, that he could not live if I were not with him, living just as he is. In spite of his unbelief, I always remain close to him” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

The memory of God… How easily it fades from our minds! How quickly our thoughts become occupied with the things of this world and begin to wander! There are even people who spend a lifetime without thinking about God, and perhaps have heard little or nothing about Him. Read More

109^th Meditation on God the Father

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice” (Phil 4:4).

Without knowing our Heavenly Father and without the certainty of His love for us, we cannot find true happiness. The joy which passing things give us is temporary and, therefore, cannot satisfy our innermost longing. Read More
