88^th Meditation on God the Father

“My love for My creatures is so great that I have no greater joy than that of being among them.” (Message of the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio)

At first, these words are certainly surprising. If we do not remain with our eyes closed in the face of our own misery and if we get to know ourselves and other people a little, if we take a look at history and listen to the accounts of Sacred Scripture, the question will easily arise in us: “Lord, what is it that you find in us that you are so pleased to be in our midst?” Read More

87^th Meditation on God the Father

“My presence among you is like the sun on the earth. If you are well disposed to receive Me, I will come very close to you, enter into you, light you up and warm you with My infinite love” (The Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

If only we could know our Father’s heart better! Then the layer of ice around our heart would begin to melt, so that His love could penetrate it, transforming us and making us capable of loving like Him. Read More

84^th Meditation on God the Father

“I lead them with human ties, with leading-strings of love. With them, I was like someone lifting an infant to his cheek, and I bent down to feed him” (Hos 11:4).

The Father uses a thousand ways to show His love to mankind. In many forms he bends down to us, and this happens most clearly in the birth of the Son of God, who came to us as a man, so that we might understand how close God wants to be to us, how precious we are to Him…. Read More
