Inner healing in God (Part III)
Forgiveness
Thanks to the gift of faith, our awareness of our eternal destiny is awakened. The Word of God nourishes us daily, enlightening our understanding and dispelling the darkness of ignorance and error.
However, for this to take effect in one’s being, one’s sins must be forgiven because they weigh heavily on one’s life and obscure the relationship with God.
Through the death and resurrection of His son, God offers humanity forgiveness for their sins. It is an act of infinite love and mercy in which God takes on the sins of humanity to lift up fallen man.
HOLY SOBRIETY
“One can doubt man’s disposition, but not God’s plans, which will be fulfilled in a timely and importunate manner, even amidst of errors and darkness” (Interior Word).
Inner healing in God (Part II) „The Word of God“
Yesterday we took a look at the beginning of a healing process that starts with the true faith. With the gift of faith as our answer to God’s love and search for us, the transcendent destiny of our lives finds its way: a conscious relationship with God is now restored and the life of God can be communicated to us.
The emphasis on true faith is especially important, as it is given to us through the Holy Scriptures and the orthodox Magisterium of the Church. This does not mean that elements of the truth cannot exist in other religions. However, they are still interspersed with frequent errors and lack of knowledge of God, so that they do not represent in themselves a valid way of salvation and therefore cannot heal the soul as only the authentic way of faith in Jesus Christ can do. In this way, God calls all people.
A HOLY SERVICE
“Address your prayers to me so that I may carry out the work of my love in all souls” (Message of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
Inner healing in God (Part I)
From today onwards, I would like to dedicate my daily meditations to a topic that I consider to be of particular importance in these times, as many people are seeking healing and often resorting to questionable and dubious methods. The topic is inner healing.
In this context, it is important to note that, as Christians, we cannot use any healing method offered to us without first subjecting it to discernment, especially if it is related to another religion or uses psychotechnical methods from the esoteric realm.
DO I SUFFER WELL?
“It is true that I suffer much, but do I suffer well? That is the question.” (St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus)
THE POWER OF SIMPLICITY
“The simpler a thing is, the more force and power it possesses.” (Meister Eckhart)
MARIAN MEDITATIONS (3/3) – Mary: Bride of the Holy Spirit
Beloved Virgin, how many manifestations of love shine forth in you!
In relation to the Father, we see you as a loving daughter; to the Son you are mother and disciple; to the Holy Spirit you are united in a spousal love.
If already here, in our earthly reality, we are moved by the tender love of a human spouse, and can observe how she blossoms and turns her whole heart and attention to her husband, how much more so is it with you, since your Bridegroom is the Holy Spirit Himself!
MARIAN MEDITATIONS (2/3) – Mary: Mother of the Son
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.
