EARTHLY JOYS ARE FLEETING

Author ElijaPosted on

144th Meditation

“Earthly joys are fleeting. They do not last if they are not connected with me” (Inner Word).

When earthly joys are sought for their own sake, how quickly even those that are legitimate from the perspective of Christian morality pass away. They are fleeting moments, and though sometimes intoxicating and exciting, they do not last, but leave the soul empty after a while. If they are sought again and again, the same story is repeated and the deepest dimension of the human soul remains unsatisfied and without inner peace.

2 Th 2:16-3:5

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who has given us his love and, through his grace, such ceaseless encouragement and such sure hope, encourage you and strengthen you in every good word and deed.

FEAR NOTHING AND NO ONE

Author ElijaPosted on

142nd Meditation

“Fear nothing and no one, for I am your Father” (Interior Word).

As Sacred Scripture tells us, our Father wants us, in the certainty of His love, to travel our way through time. There are so many terrible things in this world, so many things that frighten us. Jesus Himself tells us: “In the world you will have sufferings, but take heart: I have overcome the world” (Jn 16:33). Read More

Jn 10:11-18

A reading for the memorial of St. Charles Borromeo

Jesus said at that time, “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep. The hired man, since he is not the shepherd and the sheep do not belong to him, abandons the sheep as soon as he sees a wolf coming, and runs away, and then the wolf attacks and scatters the sheep; he runs away because he is only a hired man and has no concern for the sheep.

AWAKENING LOVE

Author ElijaPosted on

141st Meditation

“You can awaken love even more, so that it may inundate you completely. This is what love wants, and for this it seeks you” (Interior Word).

Love has no limits, because “God is love” (1 Jn 4:16). This is how Sacred Scripture describes it to us. There is nothing more important than to live in love, “for love covers a multitude of sins” (1 Pt 4:8). Read More

WE ARE THE JOY OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER (MESSAGE OF THE FATHER TO SISTER EUGENIA RAVASIO)  

Author ElijaPosted on

   140th Meditation

“The joy I feel in being with you is no less great than that which I felt when I was with My Son Jesus during His mortal life” (Father’s Message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).

Who could please our Father as much as His only-begotten Son, who was obedient to Him even unto death? And what a joy it must have been for the Father to hear the Virgin Mary’s “yes” to His Will! Read More

Phil 3:3-8

We are the true people of the circumcision since we worship by the Spirit of God and make Christ Jesus our only boast, not relying on physical qualifications, although, I myself could rely on these too. If anyone does claim to rely on them, my claim is better. Circumcised on the eighth day of my life, I was born of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrew parents.
