“I saw another angel, (…) he said with a loud voice, ‘Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come; and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of water’” (Rev 14:6-7).

THE NOBLE BATTLE
“Fight the noble battle, trusting infinitely in me” (Inner Word).
Our Father does not exempt us from the battle that we inevitably have to fight during our earthly life. It is part of our fallen condition as human beings. While we must strive for what is good, we must also defend ourselves against enemies, both within and without, who seek to lead us away from the path of following Christ.
A burning heart
Isa 48:17-19
Thus says Yahweh, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Yahweh your God and teach you for your own good, I lead you in the way you ought to go. If only you had listened to my commandments! Your prosperity would have been like a river and your saving justice like the waves of the sea. Your descendants would have been numbered like the sand, your offspring as many as its grains. Their name would never be cancelled or blotted out from my presence.
LET OUR FATHER EXERCISE HIS FATHERHOOD
“Do not refuse Me this joy which I desire to enjoy with you! I will give it back to you a hundredfold and, since you will honour Me, I will honour you too, by preparing great glory for you in My kingdom!” (The Father’s Message to Mother Eugenia Ravasio).
The violent are taking the Kingdom of Heaven by storm
Mt 11:7b, 11-15
Jesus began to talk to the people about John: ‘In truth I tell you, of all the children born to women, there has never been anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the kingdom of Heaven is greater than he. Since John the Baptist came, up to this present time, the kingdom of Heaven has been subjected to violence and the violent are taking it by storm. Because it was towards John that all the prophecies of the prophets and of the Law were leading; and he, if you will believe me, is the Elijah who was to return. Anyone who has ears should listen!
Saint Lucia: bearer of light
In the midst of Advent, a bright light shines forth: it is a wise virgin whose name alone – and even more her witness – proclaims the Lord. She is Saint Lucia, the “light bearer”. She was one of those wonderful virgins who gave her life for Christ without hesitation. Like St. Agatha, St. Agnes, St. Catherine of Alexandria and so many others, Lucia was betrothed to only one man: Christ. This saint also has the honour of being mentioned every day in the canon of the Holy Mass.
THE LITTLE PARADISE
“Since you know My favourite place of rest, are you not going to offer Me it? I am your Father and your God; will you dare refuse Me this? Oh, do not let Me suffer because of your cruelty towards a Father Who is asking you for this one grace for Himself”.
THE PEACE OF OUR FATHER
“It is through My Son and the Holy Spirit that I am coming to you and into you, and it is in you that I seek My peace” (The Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
The more we dialogue with our Father and are in living contact with Him, the more we will learn to understand Him, because God will be able to communicate to us more deeply. Let us remember that Jesus Himself told His disciples that He could not yet tell them everything because they would not be able to comprehend it. He then promised them that He would send them the Holy Spirit (cf. Jn 16:12-13). Read More
Our Lady of Guadalupe
Lk 1:39-48
A reading from the memorial of Our Lady of Guadalupe
In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah, and she entered the house of Zechari′ah and greeted Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

The Sacred Way
Isa 35:1-10
”Let the desert and the dry lands be glad, let the wasteland rejoice and bloom; like the asphodel, let it burst into flower, let it rejoice and sing for joy. The glory of Lebanon is bestowed on it, the splendour of Carmel and Sharon; then they will see the glory of Yahweh, the splendour of our God. Strengthen all weary hands, steady all trembling knees and say to the faint-hearted, ‘Be strong! Do not be afraid. Read More
