“Go simply from day to day and leave the future in my hands” (Interior Word).
Let us continue to reflect a little on the wise advice of St. Francis de Sales that we heard yesterday, because our Father wants us to live with great trust in Him.
If every day we are attentive to the task entrusted to us and carry it out, we will discover a profound meaning to our life, an immeasurable dignity and honor: our life, wanted by God and precious in His eyes, is at the service of the Kingdom of God. How many people are still searching for the reason and meaning of their existence and still do not find the answer!
Our Father, however, gives us a simple answer, which the Church has transmitted to humanity throughout the centuries: “You, O human beings, are here on earth to praise me, to glorify me and to serve me”. In other words, as the Father said in the message to Mother Eugenia Ravasio, “to know, to honor and to love God.” Everything else comes from this!
And this “everything else”, which is the wonderful and honorable cooperation in God’s salvific plans, we must not take into our own hands, nor pretend to fulfill it according to our human criteria, but let ourselves be guided by the Holy Spirit. In this way we will be at the service of our Father and of all humanity.
Thus we model our future in the Lord, entrusting ourselves to the wise providence of our Father, who loves it when we turn to Him in this attitude of trust. In this way the Father can draw us more and more into his Will and make our lives fruitful.
