239th Meditation
“Remain in my guidance, and the miracle of my love will accompany you and become palpable to other people” (Inner Word).
Our Father not only wants to keep us with Himself and delight us with His love, but He also wants to make us messengers of His love. If we reciprocate His love and know that we are sheltered by it, this will happen. Read More
We continue with the theme from yesterday. It is primarily about this Gospel passage of 8 February:
‘It is what comes out of someone that makes that person unclean. For it is from within, from the heart, that evil intentions emerge: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within and make a person unclean.’ (Mk 7:20-23) Read More

Mk 7:14-23
He called the people to him again and said, ‘Listen to me, all of you, and understand. Nothing that goes into someone from outside can make that person unclean; it is the things that come out of someone that make that person unclean. Anyone who has ears for listening should listen!’ Read More
237th Meditation
“I am just, it is true, but love pays for everything! Listen, My children, let us make a comparison, and you will be assured of My love. For Me, your sins are like iron, and your acts of love like gold. If you gave Me a thousand pounds of iron, it would not be like giving Me just ten pounds of gold! In other words, with just a little love, great iniquities can be expiated” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio). Read More
Mk 7:1-13
The Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered round him, and they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with unclean hands, that is, without washing them. For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, keep the tradition of the elders and never eat without washing their arms as far as the elbow; and on returning from the market place they never eat without first sprinkling themselves.

“How can we ever thank You enough, O Beloved Father, for Your love and Your infinite mercy” (Hymn of Praise to the Most Holy Trinity).

235th Meditation
“Your heart is therefore as sensitive as mine, and mine as yours” (Father’s message to Sr Eugenia Ravasio).
Once again, our Father makes us understand what his Heart is like by reminding us what ours is like, created in the image and likeness of His. If our heart is not completely dull and cold, we know well how we react to true love, to injustice, etc…. Read More
1 Cor 2:1-5
Brothers, when I came to you, I did not come with any brilliance of oratory or wise argument to announce to you the mystery of God. I was resolved that the only knowledge I would have while I was with you was knowledge of Jesus, and of him as the crucified Christ. Read More
