THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN US

“The work of the third person of My divinity takes place silently, and often man does not even notice it.” (From the message of God the Father to Madre Eugenia Ravasio)

In His message to Madre Eugenia, the Heavenly Father now goes on to explain how He wishes to dwell in the souls who are in a state of grace. The indwelling of God is the infinitely great gift to those who have received and responded to the message of salvation. It changes everything, for with it the soul can be led to all good under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

The real fight    

Col 3:1-11

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.  For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.  When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming. In these you once walked, when you lived in them. But now put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and foul talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old nature with its practices and have put on the new nature, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.  Here there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free man, but Christ is all, and in all.

In Christ alone resides the fullness of the Godhead    

Col 2:6-15

As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so live in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. See to it that no one makes a prey of you by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ. For in him the whole fulness of deity dwells bodily, and you have come to fulness of life in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.  In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of flesh in the circumcision of Christ;  and you were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. And you, who were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, having canceled the bond which stood against us with its legal demands; this he set aside, nailing it to the cross.  He disarmed the principalities and powers and made a public example of them, triumphing over them in him.

THE GATE OF SALVATION

“The cross is My way to descend to My children, for through the cross I let you be redeemed by My Son. And for you the cross is the way by which you can ascend to My Son and through My Son to Me. Without the cross you could never come to Me, for man has brought separation upon himself as a punishment through sin.” (From God the Father’s message to M. Eugenia Ravasio.)

INCURABLE WOUND OF DEMONS!

“In the fruit of the woman’s womb, the Lord not only gave us a Savior who conquered death by death; He also gave us, in the woman herself—the perpetual Virgin and Mother of God, Mary—an unceasing intercessor with her Son, our God. She crushed, and continues to crush, the head of the serpent in every generation of humanity. She is an invincible and unconquerable protector, even of the most desperate sinners. The Mother of God is therefore also called the “Incurable Wound of Demons,” for the demon cannot corrupt a person unless that person first refrains from seeking refuge in the help of the Mother of God.” (St. Seraphim of Sarov)

The holy obedience of Mary  

Micah 5:1-4a

Thus says the Lord: “But you (Bethlehem) Ephrathah, the least of the clans of Judah, from you will come for me a future ruler of Israel whose origins go back to the distant past, to the days of old. Hence Yahweh will abandon them only until she who is in labour gives birth, and then those who survive of his race will be reunited to the Israelites. He will take his stand and he will shepherd them with the power of Yahweh, with the majesty of the name of his God, and they will be secure, for his greatness will extend henceforth to the most distant parts of the country. He himself will be peace! Should the Assyrian invade our country, should he set foot in our land, we shall raise seven shepherds against him, eight leaders of men”.

PROOFS OF OUR LOVE

“The time to prove our love is short, and we only have one life” (St. Maximilian Kolbe).

You are right, dear Maximilian Kolbe. Time is short and we are often lazy and slow to do good. This is because we do not yet love our Heavenly Father enough, and we fail to understand the incredible opportunity we have to be a light in the midst of darkness, thus honoring God and serving mankind. Indeed, every day is a gift to prove our love.

The wisdom of giving oneself to the Lord  

Wis 9: 13-18

“For who can learn the counsel of God? Or who can discern what the Lord wills? For the reasoning of mortals is worthless, and our designs are likely to fail; for a perishable body weighs down the soul, and this earthy tent burdens the thoughtful mind.  We can hardly guess at what is on earth, and what is at hand we find with labor; but who has traced out what is in the heavens?  Who has learned your counsel, unless you have given wisdom and sent your holy spirit from on high?  And thus the paths of those on earth were set right, and people were taught what pleases you, and were saved by wisdom.”

Firm in faith  

Col 1:21-23

You were once estranged and of hostile intent through your evil behaviour; now he has reconciled you, by his death and in that mortal body, to bring you before himself holy, faultless and irreproachable-as long as you persevere and stand firm on the solid base of the faith, never letting yourselves drift away from the hope promised by the gospel, which you have heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become the servant.

Through His Son, God did everything to reconcile humanity to Himself. This is the immutable message which has been entrusted to the Church down the centuries and which is to reach all creatures. Regardless of the situation in which people find themselves, there are no hopeless cases! God has compassion on even the greatest of sinners. He loves them and wants them to be with Him. It is up to us to accept the offer of grace we receive from the Lord.
