359th Meditation
To know, honour and love the Father…
In the Message to Mother Eugenia Ravasio, which played an essential role in bringing about these “3 minutes for Abba”, the Father repeatedly invites us to know, honour and love Him. If we do so, He will be able to grant us more and more all that He has in store for us. Read More
Mk 12:38-44
In his teaching he said, ‘Beware of the scribes who like to walk about in long robes, to be greeted respectfully in the market squares, to take the front seats in the synagogues and the places of honour at banquets; these are the men who devour the property of widows and for show offer long prayers.

Mk 12:35-37
While teaching in the Temple, Jesus said, ‘How can the scribes maintain that the Christ is the son of David? David himself, moved by the Holy Spirit, said: The Lord declared to my Lord, take your seat at my right hand till I have made your enemies your footstool. David himself calls him Lord; in what way then can he be his son?’ And the great crowd listened to him with delight. Read More

“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Ps 22:1).
These are the words of Psalm 22 that Jesus pronounces shortly before He dies.
Our Father never forsook Him, but because Jesus bore all the sin of this world and nailed it to the Cross, God allowed Him to experience “in the flesh” the full weight of estrangement from God, that terrible inner state of being excluded from love and true life, “like the slaughtered lying in the grave” (Ps 88:5).

Jn 6:51-58
Jesus said to the jews: I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, for the life of the world.’ Then the Jews started arguing among themselves, ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’ Jesus replied to them: In all truth I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

Today we close the series of meditations on the Holy Spirit that have accompanied us throughout the last few weeks. Starting tomorrow, we will return to our habitual biblical meditations, usually based on the reading or the gospel of the day.

356th Meditation
Today I want to share with you an extract from an inner word I received in prayer in the year 1984.
“Seek my Face and remain in silence before it, so that it may penetrate you. My Face is again giving a face to this world. It must pierce the darkness and imprint my features on the world. Seek my loving, suffering and holy Face.” Read More
What I have yet to tell you is that my Friend “sheds a ray of light divine” and tears the dark night. That is also what He did for me. His radiant light illuminated my life and led me to Jesus, our Saviour – I can never thank Him enough!
But He is not content with enlightening and leading me, a poor man, to salvation. He radiates His light into this world so that all people may recognise the Messiah whom the Heavenly Father has sent to us. Read More
355th Meditation
“I shall speak of your instructions before kings and will not be shamed” (Ps 119:46).
Do we have the courage to speak publicly about our faith, professing it as it is? Or have we already been intimidated by the increasingly anti-Christian spirit of this world, which, if possible, would like to banish Christian witness altogether? What would happen if we were brought before the civil authorities, before the “kings” of this world? Would we lose our courage? Read More
