375th Meditation
“The time is propitious, do not lose this love which is being offered to your hearts so tangibly” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).
We live in the time of grace, in the so-called “Kairos”. The door to the Heart of God is wide open thanks to His Son. It is open to all men, if they accept God’s invitation and turn to Him. But in addition to this time of grace for mankind in general, the Lord grants us again and again moments of particular grace. Read More
Mt 10:26-33
At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: do not be afraid of them. Everything now covered up will be uncovered, and everything now hidden will be made clear. What I say to you in the dark, tell in the daylight; what you hear in whispers, proclaim from the housetops.
374th Meditation
Having completed the series of meditations on how to know, honour and love the Heavenly Father more deeply, it is fitting to hear from His own mouth why He asks these three things of us. In the Message of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio, it says:
“I am asking of man what he is able to give Me: his confidence, his love and his gratitude. It is not because I need My creature and his adoration that I desire to be known, honoured and loved; the only reason why I am stooping down to him is to save him and give him a share in My glory. Read More
373rd Meditation
To know, honour and love the Father…
If we look into the Heart of our Heavenly Father and trust in Him fully awakens in us, we will soon discover what is the infinitely great desire of this Heart. His deepest longing is to fill us with His love, and this love extends to all people, without exception. How much He desires that all should know Him in His Fatherly goodness! Read More
Acts 13:16,22-26
Paul stood up, raised his hand for silence and began to speak: ‘Men of Israel, and fearers of God, listen! After he deposed Saul and raised up David to be king, whom he attested in these words, “I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will perform my entire will.”
372nd Meditation
To know, honour and love the Father…
We understand that, through the first commandment, our Heavenly Father invites us to correspond to His love with our whole existence, without withholding anything from Him. Read More
2 Cor 11:18,21b-30
So many people boast on merely human grounds that I shall too. I say it to your shame; perhaps we have been too weak. Whatever bold claims anyone makes — now I am talking as a fool – I can make them too. Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I. Read More
371st Meditation
To know, honour and love the Father…
Even if our heart – which sometimes feels cold – seems to correspond so poorly to the Father’s love and is saddened by it, He gives us the opportunity to show Him our love in yet another way. It is also worth noting that the very fact that we are saddened by loving Him less ardently and perseveringly than we would like to is already a sign of love, because here the heart suffers when the expression of love does not flow from it and when we cannot enter into an intimate heart-to-heart relationship with God.

2 Cor 11:1-11
I wish you would put up with a little foolishness from me – not that you don’t do this already. The jealousy that I feel for you is, you see, God’s own jealousy: I gave you all in marriage to a single husband, a virgin pure for presentation to Christ. But I am afraid that, just as the snake with his cunning seduced Eve, your minds may be led astray from single-minded devotion to Christ. Read More
370th Meditation
To know, honour and love the Father…
Our Father wants us to love Him with our whole heart, and we turn to the Holy Spirit to ask Him to accomplish this in us, detaching our hearts from all that hinders us from corresponding to this great love. Read More
