THE WORK OF THE SPIRIT
Our loving Father wants to dwell in our souls and build his temple in them. As St. Paul tells us, we are called to be the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:9). So it is not only the majestic and beautiful cathedrals where the Lord dwells in the tabernacle; but at all times and in all places we can find Him in our own heart, which becomes the tabernacle of His grace. Thus speaks the Father in the Message concerning the action of the Holy Spirit: Read More

THE GLORY OF JESUS IS ALSO THE GLORY OF THE FATHER
The more we love Jesus, the more we love our Heavenly Father, who sent Him into the world. Everything we do to the glory and honour of the Son of God also glorifies the One from whom He proceeds. Through Jesus, we come to the Father (cf. Jn 14:6).

14th Meditation on God the Father
It is important for the Lord that we know Him as He really is. Jesus Himself tries again and again to convey to us the true image of the Father. Indeed, it is only when we have the right image of Him that we can live in a trusting relationship with Him, just as He has intended for us. Then the joyful reality that God’s light spreads in this world shines forth, and Jesus’ words become a reality: “You are light for the world” (Mt 5:14). Read More

“Your love is better than life”
Ps 62:2-9
O God, you are my God, for you I long; *
for you my soul is thirsting.
My body pines for you *
like a dry, weary land without water.
THE HEAVEN OF GOD IN OUR SOULS

OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE LIGHT
God’s love embraces all people, whom he wants to bring to the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim 2,4). We know the way he has chosen: it is His Son Jesus, who says of Himself: “I am the Way; I am Truth and Life. No one can come to the Father except through me” (Jn 1:6). Read More
