«You must love Me and honour Me so that you will not be judged, or rather, that you will be judged with infinitely merciful love. Have no doubt! If My Heart were not like this, I would have already destroyed the world every time it committed sin!» (Message of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

ACTS OF THE APOSTLES (Acts 10: 23b-29): “The first Gentiles embrace the faith and are baptised”
The next day he (Peter) rose and went off with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him. And on the following day they entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his kinsmen and close friends. When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him. But Peter lifted him up, saying, “Stand up; I too am a man.” And as he talked with him, he went in and found many persons gathered; and he said to them, “You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit any one of another nation; but God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean. So when I was sent for, I came without objection. I ask then why you sent for me.”
THE REMEMBRANCE OF GOD
‘I gave Moses My commandments to remind them, in spite of everything, of God, their Father, and of His sole wish, to save them. They were supposed to observe the commandments and thereby remember their infinitely good Father, always intent upon their present and eternal salvation’ (Message of God the Father to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).
The commandments of the Lord… How important it is to keep them to this day, for they are an expression of His fatherly goodness! How much destruction is caused in every way by transgressing them!
ACTS OF THE APOSTLES (Acts 10:1-8): “The vision of Peter and Cornelius”
At Caesare′a there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort, a devout man who feared God with all his household, gave alms liberally to the people, and prayed constantly to God. About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius.” And he stared at him in terror, and said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God. And now send men to Joppa, and bring one Simon who is called Peter; he is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside.” When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those that waited on him, and having related everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

GOD SEEKS FRIENDS
‘In the Old Testament, I created and chose prophets to live among men. To them I told My desires, My sorrows and My joys, so that they could communicate them to everyone’ (Message of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
ACTS OF THE APOSTLES (Acts 9:26–35): “Paul’s second escape and Peter’s apostolic journey”
When he [Paul] had come to Jerusalem he attempted to join the disciples; and they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple. But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus. So he went in and out among them at Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord. And he spoke and disputed against the Hellenists; but they were seeking to kill him. And when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.

OUR FATHER LOVES US MORE THAN HIMSELF
‘In the end, man was created! I was pleased with My handiwork. Man sins, but it is precisely then that My infinite generosity shows itself’ (Message of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
Being omniscient, our Father knew that man would be separated from Him by sin. However, His love did not allow this knowledge to prevent Him from creating man and taking pleasure in His work. In response to man’s sin, God showed even greater goodness and paved the way of salvation for us. All of us who follow His Son, Jesus Christ, know this way, and through it, we can understand the love of our Father ever more deeply. In the Message to Mother Eugenia, after explaining how men forgot Him and created laws according to their vices, offending Him along the way, the Heavenly Father expresses the extent of His love: ‘I did not stop there. Understand well that I loved you, as it were, more than My beloved Son, or rather, more than Myself’.
ACTS OF THE APOSTLES (Acts 9:17-25): “Saul recovers his sight and proclaims Jesus”
So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized, and took food and was strengthened. For several days he was with the disciples at Damascus. And in the synagogues immediately he proclaimed Jesus, saying, “He is the Son of God.” And all who heard him were amazed, and said, “Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called on this name? And he has come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests.”
ACTS OF THE APOSTLES (Acts 9:1-22): “The Conversion of Saul”
Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he journeyed he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed about him. And he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting; but rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.” The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one. Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
