356th Meditation
Today I want to share with you an extract from an inner word I received in prayer in the year 1984.
“Seek my Face and remain in silence before it, so that it may penetrate you. My Face is again giving a face to this world. It must pierce the darkness and imprint my features on the world. Seek my loving, suffering and holy Face.” Read More
What I have yet to tell you is that my Friend “sheds a ray of light divine” and tears the dark night. That is also what He did for me. His radiant light illuminated my life and led me to Jesus, our Saviour – I can never thank Him enough!
But He is not content with enlightening and leading me, a poor man, to salvation. He radiates His light into this world so that all people may recognise the Messiah whom the Heavenly Father has sent to us. Read More
355th Meditation
“I shall speak of your instructions before kings and will not be shamed” (Ps 119:46).
Do we have the courage to speak publicly about our faith, professing it as it is? Or have we already been intimidated by the increasingly anti-Christian spirit of this world, which, if possible, would like to banish Christian witness altogether? What would happen if we were brought before the civil authorities, before the “kings” of this world? Would we lose our courage? Read More
My divine Friend does not come to dwell in me only when I have already put my inner house in impeccable order. On the contrary, if I ask Him to do so, He Himself helps me with that. He does not shrink from anything; He is ready to show me the dirty corners that I would not even be able to discover, and He Himself gets down to work, but always with charming kindness and great perseverance. He wants to remain forever in my soul and prepare it for eternity. There it will stand firm forever and can never be derailed again. Read More
354th Meditation
“Listen, my people, while I give you warning; Israel, if only you would listen to me! You shall have no strange gods, shall worship no alien god” (Ps 81:8-9).
These words of our Father are no less important for us today than they were in that time for the people of Israel. If we obey our Father, His Spirit can easily shape our lives, because the Lord wants to come to a union of hearts with us. The prerequisite for this is that we listen to Him and obey Him. Read More
I want to tell you about my divine Friend, because He is so good to me that I really have to share about Him with you. It is not that I think that you do not know Him and that He is exclusively my Friend – of course not! But if I tell you about Him, perhaps you will know Him a little better. Indeed, the more we hear about Him and the more time we spend with Him, the better we will know Him. Read More
353rd Meditation
“I am your consoler. Why then should you be afraid of mortal human beings, of a child of man, whose fate is that of the grass?” (Is 51:12).
Our Father invites us to focus all our attention on Him, becoming aware of His presence again and again. Our forgetfulness and carelessness cause us, in certain situations of life, not to think of Him. So it happens that we easily let circumstances determine us, and even dominate us. Read More
352nd Meditation
“I would like their (my creature’s) lives to be made sweeter through My law” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio). Read More
If the gift of understanding enables us to penetrate the divine mysteries, the gift of wisdom grants us a “delightful” knowledge of God. “Taste and see that the Lord is good!” -exclaims the psalmist (Ps 34:8). First he invites us to taste, and only then to see. Read More
351st Meditation
It is important for the Lord that we know Him as He really is. Jesus Himself tries again and again to convey to us the true image of the Father. Indeed, it is only when we have the right image of Him that we can live in a trusting relationship with Him, just as He has intended for us. Then the joyful reality that God’s light spreads in this world shines forth, and Jesus’ words become a reality: “You are light for the world” (Mt 5:14). Read More
