THE LORD IS GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL

93rd Meditation on God the Father

“The Lord is gracious and compassionate,

  slow to anger and rich in love” (Ps 145:8).

The grace of our Heavenly Father always envelops us, as a constant invitation to open ourselves to His love. It always knocks at the door of our heart, asking to be received as a delicate, dear and welcome guest. If we open the door to it, it will enter and take up residence in our heart, making our heart a throne of God’s grace. This grace begins to guide us and shape everything in us according to the wisdom of the Divine Will. Read More

TRIUMPHANT CONFIDENCE

92nd Meditation on God the Father

 “Trust in Me with a confidence so deep as to transform yourselves: this I shall be unable to resist. I shall then forgive your errors and lavish the greatest favours upon you.” (Message of the Father to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).

Trust in God opens wide the door to true life, so that a certain happiness may enter our hearts, which can heal many things in us, as well as serve other people. Our life then acquires a security and freedom never before experienced, and our Father can communicate to us day by day in a simple way, so that we can understand Him better and better. Read More

Memory of Our Lady of Sorrows

Jn 19:25-27

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.

THE HAPPINESS OF THE FATHER IN OUR SOUL

91st Meditation on God the Father

“As for the souls who live in justice and sanctifying grace, I show My happiness by living in them. I give them Myself. I transmit to them the use of My power and through My love they find a foretaste of heaven in Me, their Father and their Saviour!” (Father’s Message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

Isn’t it comforting to hear someone tell you that he loves you, and to know that he means it and is really capable of loving? How much more wonderful if the one who declares His love to us is God the Father Himself, who even assures us that His happiness is to be with us! Read More

A FLAMING SWORD IN THE HANDS OF GOD

90th Meditation on God the Father

“Pray to Me, so that I will be able to accomplish My work of love in all souls” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

One of the most beautiful and fruitful tasks that our Father entrusts to us is prayer. Not only is it of inestimable value for our own sanctification but it benefits all humanity.

What is it that makes prayer so valuable, to such an extent that God calls some in our Church to consecrate their whole lives to it, withdrawing from the world and considering it their main mission for the Church and the world, along with the path of holiness? Read More

ADAM, WHERE ARE YOU?

89th Meditation on God the Father

“But Yahweh God called to the man. ‘Where are you?’ he asked” (Gen 3:9).

These are the first words that the Father addresses to man after he has fallen into sin. He expresses all his love in how he seeks us.

This search of God for us will continue until we have reached eternity, where we will be able to fully accept God’s love, and our faith will become beatific vision. Read More

Isa 61:9-11

A reading for the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary

Their race will be famous throughout the nations and their offspring throughout the peoples. All who see them will admit that they are a race whom Yahweh has blessed. I exult for joy in Yahweh, my soul rejoices in my God, for he has clothed me in garments of salvation, he has wrapped me in a cloak of saving justice, like a bridegroom wearing his garland, like a bride adorned in her jewels.
