Holy Tuesday
Jn 13,21-38
Having said this, Jesus was deeply disturbed and declared, ‘In all truth I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.’ The disciples looked at each other, wondering whom he meant. Read More

The love to Jesus
Holy Monday
Jn 12,1-11
Six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead. They gave a dinner for him there; Martha waited on them and Lazarus was among those at table. Mary brought in a pound of very costly ointment, pure nard, and with it anointed the feet of Jesus, wiping them with her hair; the house was filled with the scent of the ointment. Read More
The day Jesus was honored
Palm Sunday
In the Holy Week we change a little the previous rhythm. Scripture interpretations will be more meditative and somewhat shorter.
“Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna on high!” (from the Gospel before the Palm Procession: Mt 21,1-11) Read More
Trust and the introduction of a feast
The father speaks to his children, Part 21
Today we come to the end with the father’s message of the first part of the booklet. It has accompanied us during this Lent until Palm Sunday, and also during the difficult time of crisis which humanity is now experiencing due to the pandemic, the extent of which cannot yet be estimated. Read More
The Father’s Delight and Our Paradise
The father speaks to his children, Part 20
Father’s words:
“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!” Read More
Significance of the Father’s Message
The father speaks to his children, Part 19
As I had communicated yesterday, I will continue until Saturday with the meditations on the “Message of the Father”. This is divided into two parts. In the previous reflections, I had followed the order of the booklet almost completely. Read More
Reflection on the Pandemic, Part 4
Sadly, we have to note that in this difficult crisis we have practically no official leadership from the Church to show the faithful the way forward in this situation. Since this is how things stand, we must abandon ourselves especially to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who will not leave us without instructions or allow the faithful to be left alone in the midst of the crisis.

Reflection on the pandemic, Part 3
To contextualize, I’ll first summarize what we’ve talked about over the past two days…
I called the outbreak of this pandemic a permission from God, which is to be understood as a rebuke from Him, so that we may seek Him, turn from the ways of perdition and choose the way of truth. Read More
Reflection on the Pandemic, Part 2
Yesterday we had spoken of this pandemic as being a permission from God, and representing a rebuke from Him. I had mentioned the reasons why this would be understandable on the part of God’s love and care, in view of the increasing “culture of death”.
It is, in the first place, about the eternal salvation of men. Yes, man is to be saved from his lost life and from his alienation from God, and he is to live as a child of the Heavenly Father and be sheltered under His love, already in this world and, in full, in eternity. Read More
Reflection on the pandemic, Part 1
General reflections
It is difficult for me to ignore the fact that we are in a great crisis worldwide, which has apocalyptic features. The seriousness of the situation becomes clear when one considers the many restrictions at the civilian level, to the extent that personal freedom is significantly limited in various fields. Even more difficult for the faithful is the fact that many are no longer able to receive the sacraments, so that they are deprived of the comfort that the Church normally offers her children.
