285th Meditation
“Be faithful unto death and I will give you the crown of life” (Rev 2:10).

Spiritual resistance to the anti-Christian threat
In our journey towards the great Feast of the Resurrection of Our Lord, we have dealt with the grave threat of the anti-Christian powers. These have even penetrated our Church, seeking to disintegrate and weaken her from within, so that she loses her clear and unequivocal witness and is no longer able to give true guidance to men. The more the Church adopts the “smell of this world”, the less she reflects the face of her Divine Bridegroom. Read More
284th Meditation
“I come from God, My Father; to Him I return; to Him alone I belong” (Father’s Message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
Let us dwell today on the last part of this sentence of Father’s Message: “To Him alone I belong”.
The Father has given us this certainty, and we must repeat it again and again: “It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture” (Ps 99:3). Read More
The crisis in the Church
If we take a critical look at the current situation in the Church, we can quickly focus on Germany, where a “different Church” is already manifesting itself in certain aspects. Those who follow more closely what is happening on the so-called “synodal way” can see that here a process of adaptation of the Church to the world is taking place. The Catholic identity is increasingly being renounced in order to adopt the moral standards of the world. Read More
The attack on the Church
All that we have heard in the previous meditations on the Antichrist clearly shows us the great danger that the antichristian spirit poses to humanity. It is the most tenacious and perhaps also the last attempt of the Devil to expand his dominion over the whole orb of the earth, to subjugate it and, if possible, to induce mankind to worship him.

283rd Meditation
“I come from God, My Father; to Him I return; to Him alone I belong” (Father’s message to Sr Eugenia Ravasio).
With what simplicity the Father reveals to us our deepest identity, making us discover at the same time the meaning of our existence, which consists in knowing, honouring and loving this our Father. Read More
282nd Meditation
“Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God” (Ps 42:11).
In the Gospel the Lord tells us: “In the world you will have hardship, but be courageous: I have conquered the world” (Jn 16:33). Read More
Lk 1:26-38
In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, you who enjoy God’s favour! The Lord is with you.’ Read More

281st Meditation
“Your life and your mission are precious to me” (Inner Word).
Every human life has been created by God, and He has given it a task to fulfil. Indeed, each life has to proclaim the One from whose hands it came and to be inserted into the plan of salvation of His love. Read More
