“I Myself have placed in the hearts of men the search for Me, and I Myself am the answer” (Inner Word).
Why does man seek?
Because the Father Himself has placed this longing in his heart and, according to the unforgettable words of St. Augustine, “our heart is restless until it rests in You” (Confessions, I, 1). Read More
“As long as you remain in my heart, you will be under my divine protection. Even if the powers of darkness rise up, they will achieve nothing” (Inner Word).
Our Father offers us His Heart as a refuge, for against Him the powers of darkness can achieve nothing. They attack man in order to confuse him and, if possible, to seize his grace. But if we remain in the Heart of God, their efforts will be in vain. Read More
Rev 21:9-14
One of the seven angels that had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came to speak to me and said, ‘Come here and I will show you the bride that the Lamb has married.’ In the spirit, he carried me to the top of a very high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down out of heaven from God.

2 Tes 2:1-3a,14-17
About the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, brothers, and our being gathered to him: please do not be too easily thrown into confusion or alarmed by any manifestation of the Spirit or any statement or any letter claiming to come from us, suggesting that the Day of the Lord has already arrived. Never let anyone deceive you in any way. Read More
“Do not put your trust in princes,
in any child of Adam, who has no power to save. (…)
How blessed is he who has Jacob’s God to help him,
his hope is in the Lord his God” (Ps 146:3,5). Read More
REMARK: When we put “Inner Word” as a reference, these are statements that Brother Elias perceived in prayer.
“Live in intimate friendship with me. This friendship will deepen more and more, until you are completely with me in eternity” (Inner Word).
Friendship with our Heavenly Father is one of the most beautiful experiences in life. Just as Jesus called His disciples “friends” (Jn 15:15) and treated them as such, so the Father invites us to live in close friendship with Him. The word “close” is meant to underline even more the intimacy of this relationship. Read More
Lk 1:26-38
Reading for the feast Queenship of Mary
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 favor! The Lord is with you.’ Read More
Hb 12:4-7.11-15
In the fight against sin, you have not yet had to keep fighting to the point of bloodshed. Have you forgotten that encouraging text in which you are addressed as sons? My son, do not scorn correction from the Lord, do not resent his training, for the Lord trains those he loves, and chastises every son he accepts. Read More
The Lord tells us: “Store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor woodworm destroys them and thieves cannot break in and steal” (Mt 6:20).
We know what He means! Indeed, everything we do moved by true love becomes the most precious gold in the heavenly treasury. Read More
Ez 43:1-7a
In those days, the angel led me to the gate, the one facing east. I saw the glory of the God of Israel approaching from the east. A sound came with him like the sound of the ocean, and the earth shone with his glory. This vision was like the one I had seen when I had come for the destruction of the city, and like the one I had seen by the River Chebar. Read More
