Beloved Father, in the wonderful Message you conveyed to Mother Eugenia Ravasio, You tell us how You accompanied a certain man throughout his life and showered him with blessings. However, that man did not respond to Your courtship; he became entangled in sin, thus constantly offending You. But You did not cease to call him, nor did You cease to fight for him. Shortly before his death, he finally repented of his evil life and called upon You by the name of “Father”; and You rejoiced that You could forgive him and that he would be with You in eternity.

NOVENA TO GOD THE FATHER – Day 3: Father, I Want to Be Your Light
Beloved Father, this series of meditations is a Novena in Your honour, and is to help men – Your beloved children – to know You more deeply.
It will also serve to fulfil Your wish that the Church will soon establish a liturgical Feast on which You will be honoured as “Father of all Mankind”. You entrusted this desire of Yours to Mother Eugenia Ravasio. Read More
NOVENA TO GOD THE FATHER – Day 2: You, Father, Are the Life
To know You, O Father, is life; true life; eternal life…
Indeed, it is this that we always seek… We are constantly on the lookout for something that will fulfil us, that will make us happy – according to our concept of happiness -; for something that will last… But can there be true happiness without You? Read More
NOVENA TO GOD THE FATHER – Day 1: You Are my Father!
To You, Heavenly Father,
we entrust ourselves wholly and unreservedly,

NOVENA TO GOD THE FATHER
The dignity of chastity
Ex 20:1-17
And the Lord spoke all these words: I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth.
THE WISHES OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER
407th Meditation
Every August 7, we celebrate in our community and with the Abba Family the Feast of God the Father under the name: “Father of all Mankind”. In preparation for this Feast, we will start tomorrow a novena, which for the next nine days will replace the “3 minutes for Abba”. Read More
Fear them not
Mt 10: 26-32
Gospel for the memorial of Saint Pantaleon, Martyr
At that time, Jesus said to his apostles: Therefore fear them not. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed: nor hid, that shall not be known. That which I tell you in the dark, speak ye in the light: and that which you hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops.
THE FATHER HAS GREAT PLANS
406th Meditation
“In my love, I have projected great plans for you” (Inner Word).
Once our Father has subjected everything to His loving dominion, down to the smallest detail, He has great plans in mind for us human beings.
Indeed, it is not just a few people who are called to find the way of faith, but all. Not only some must learn that their Creator and Redeemer is the kindest of all fathers, but all mankind must know it and hear it. Not only the Church must know it, but the call of a Father full of love must resound to the ends of the earth and in every possible way. Read More
THE CARE OF GOD
405th Meditation
“Without temptations, we would not perceive God’s care for us, nor would we acquire confidence in Him, nor learn the wisdom of the Spirit, nor would the love of God be consolidated in the soul” (Isaac of Syria).
What we have said in the last meditations regarding the struggle against the powers of darkness, we can also apply to the struggle against temptations, to which we are inevitably exposed during our pilgrimage through this world. These are part of the struggle entrusted to us. Read More
