How exalted is the election granted to you, beloved Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ!

With astonishment we note that not only the Son of God Himself was entrusted to you, but also all those who belong to Him and sing the song of the redeemed (cf. Rev 14:3). And even more: you are the Mother of all men, and you become light and consolation for those who return home.

Many people come to you full of trust and appeal to your motherly heart, because they understand that your divine Son hears your pleas. Read More

MARIAN MEDITATIONS (1/3) – Mary: Daughter of the Father

Author ElijaPosted on

Download MP3

Could one imagine a daughter of the Heavenly Father more enchanting than you, beloved Virgin Mary?

A daughter who so enraptures her Father that He entrusts to her the most precious thing: His beloved Son.

No, there can be no equal to you.

You are the one whom the Lord has chosen. Only God, the Holy One, knows all your beauty, with which He Himself adorned you; and He knows with what joy and tenderness you filled His Heart, seeing you in the splendour of His grace.

THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL SONS

Author ElijaPosted on

414th Meditation

“If there is something that I desire, (…) it is the return of the prodigal sons to their Father’s house. I am referring in particular to the Jews…” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

If our Father’s wishes are most sacred to us, we can easily understand that one of His great concerns is that the Jewish People, His “Firstborn”, return to Him. The Apostle Paul was so inflamed with love for his people that, in his zeal, he uttered these words: “For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren, who are my kinsmen according to the flesh” (Rom 9:3).

THE DWELLING OF GOD IN THE SOUL

Author ElijaPosted on

413th Meditation

“As for you, souls in a state of sin, or who are ignorant of religious truth, I will not be able to enter you; however, I will be close to you, because I never stop calling you, inviting you to desire to receive the benefits I bring you, so that you may see the light and be healed of sin” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

Here the Father expresses the great love with which He follows each soul, never ceasing to call her. However, He cannot dwell in a soul that is in a state of sin. Read More

Acting in faith

Mt 17:14-20

When Jesus was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling down on his knees before him, saying: Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffereth much: for he falleth often into the fire, and often into the water. And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. Then Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you?

Dt 4:32-40

Moses spoke to the people saying: Ask of the days of old, that have been before thy time from the day that God created man upon the earth, from one end of heaven to the other end thereof if ever there was done the like thing, or it hath been known at any time,  that a people should hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of fire, as thou hast heard, and lived:   If God ever did so as to go, and take to himself a nation out of the midst of nations by temptations, signs, and wonders, by fight, and a strong hand, and stretched out arm, and horrible visions according to all the things that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before thy eyes.  That thou mightest know that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him. From heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might teach thee.

THE TRUTH OF LOVE

Author ElijaPosted on

412th Meditation

“Send me, Lord, send into my heart the appeasement, the meekness of your Spirit; lest love for truth induce me to lose the truth of love” (St. Augustine).

Proclaiming the truth with love and living in true love is what would seal our witness with deep credibility. Indeed, this is also what our Church needs for her renewal. Read More

ATTAINING FREEDOM BY AIMING AT TRUTH

Author ElijaPosted on

411th Meditation

“Freedom is not attained by aspiring to freedom; but by aspiring to truth. Freedom is not a goal, but an effect” (Leo Tolstoy).

“The truth shall make you free” (Jn 8:32) – the Lord Himself tells us. This is what all people who strive for freedom must learn. Only by living in conformity with the Will of the Father can true freedom be achieved. Only then can the plan by which He created us become a reality in our lives. Read More
