175th Meditation
“Your heaven, My creatures, is in paradise, together with My chosen ones, because it is there that you will contemplate Me in an everlasting vision and will enjoy eternal glory. My heaven is on earth with you all, o men! Yes, it is on earth and in your souls that I look for My happiness and My joy. You can provide Me with this joy and it is also your duty towards your Creator and Father, Who desires and expects this of you” (Father’s Message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio). Read More
174th Meditation
“Some call on chariots,
some on horses;
but we call upon the name
of the Lord our God” (Ps 19:8).
The number of the faithful who firmly adhere to Tradition and to the doctrine of the faith is ever decreasing. The number of those who are no longer submitted to the previous teachings of the Church is increasing. Read More
173rd Meditation
“Though an army pitch camp against me, my heart will not fear, though war break out against me, my trust will never be shaken” (Ps 26:3).
Our Father does not exempt us from the combat in which we are immersed as long as our earthly life lasts. But He does have our backs. No one who wants to walk the path of holiness, to which we are all called, will be able to escape this struggle. If anyone evades it, they have already lost the battle. Read More
172nd 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).
Our Father never tires of expressing His love to us in a thousand ways, until we finally believe in it and reciprocate His love. Read More
171st Meditation
“With you I storm the rampart,
with my God I can scale any wall” (Ps 17:30).
Our Father gives us the courage to do great things with Him. Not infrequently “hedges and walls” are erected on the path of following the Lord, which want to discourage us: obstacles that seem insurmountable, one difficulty after another, setbacks and perhaps even concrete enmities. Read More
170th Meditation
“Nothing is impossible for me, and when I find an open heart, I want to give it everything” (Inner Word).
For our Father it is a great treasure to find an open heart. To this person He can grant everything, not withholding anything of what He has arranged for them in His love. An open heart is a great joy for Him.
We have certainly experienced this also on the human level, when we meet someone who has an open heart towards us. How easy it is to establish a fruitful communion with such a person! Read More
169th Meditation
“You delight in sincerity of heart,
and in secret you teach me wisdom” (Ps 51:6).
The sincere heart mentioned in the psalm is related to purity of heart, which can become very deep. The more we advance in the process of purification, the more we will perceive the movements of our heart, thanks to the light of the Holy Spirit. Everything, even the smallest things, will be opened before God, so that all inner blockage towards Him begins to dissolve. Read More
168th Meditation
“Honour to me is a sacrifice of thanksgiving;
to the upright
I will show God’s salvation” (Ps 49:23).
We should praise our Father without ceasing, thus joining the choirs of angels and saints, for the one who praises God is the one who honors Him. Read More
167th Meditation
“Put your hope in the Lord, be strong,
let your heart be bold, put your hope in the Lord” (Ps 27:14).
The Lord is our strength…
This is the constant experience of those who walk with the Lord through this life and try to fulfill their mission in this world. We are very limited beings and many things are beyond our capacity. But this does not mean that we have to lose hope, but rather that we must realistically accept the limits that God has placed on us. Read More
166th Meditation
“My light drives away all darkness, to the point that it pains you to have had even the slightest wrong thought” (Interior Word).
God is light and there is no shadow in Him (1Jn 1:5). Our Father is love (1Jn 4:8b). When love is poured into our hearts and we allow ourselves to be moved by it, nothing can stand in the way of this love. This is how the purification of the heart takes place. Read More
