165th Meditation
“Delight yourself in the Lord
and He will give you the desires of your heart” (Ps 36:4).
To delight in the Lord means to have access to the Heart of the Father and to rejoice in Him. This does not refer so much to rejoicing in what the Father has done and continues to do for us, but rather to delighting in God Himself. Read More
164th Meditation
“In you is the source of life, in your light we see the light” (Ps 36:10).
Our Father wants to open our eyes so that we may see. As related in the Gospel, our Lord restores sight to the blind (Mk 10:46-52). But an even greater gift of His love is to grant us the light of faith, to open our spiritual eyes and enable us to see with the eyes of God. Read More
163rd Meditation
“Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord?
Who shall take a stand in His holy place?
The clean of hands and pure of heart, whose heart is not set on vanities,
who does not swear an oath in order to deceive” (Ps 24:3-4). Read More
162nd Meditation
“I am the true source of the Law, and you should reflect it. Since I come to confirm to you once again that it is a Law of love, you should be apostles who, inflamed by love, seek delicate and gentle souls, so that My Kingdom of love may expand among all” (Message of the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
The Father wants us to be a reflection of His love. God’s love is to be made visible in each of us in many ways. Read More
161st Meditation
I wish (…) that you could console Me and love Me for half an hour each day (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
Mother Eugenia, to whom our Heavenly Father addressed these words, clarifies that this desire of the Father extends to all His children. Indeed, it is a great comfort to Him that His children confidently turn to Him and devote time to Him. Read More
160th Meditation
“Rejoice in the Lord, exult all you upright, shout for joy, you honest of heart” (Ps 31:11).
The joy in the Lord that the psalm acclaims here must inundate the righteous, for they strive to do the Will of God. It is in itself a source of joy to know God and to taste the wisdom of His commandments, as well as to walk in the path that the Father, in His goodness, has prepared for us. Read More

159th Meditation
“I shall instruct you and teach you the way to go; I shall not take my eyes off you” (Ps. 31:8).
Our Father’s ways are perfect and, as long as we listen and follow His instructions, we will not go astray.
158th Meditation
“I have come to bring peace with this work of love. I will let a ray of peace fall upon anyone who honours Me and trusts in Me, so that he will be relieved in all his troubles, all his worries, sufferings and afflictions, especially if he calls Me and loves Me as his Father” (Father’s Message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).
157th Meditation
“Fear not, my child: I protect you as the apple of my eye” (Inner Word).
Undoubtedly there are many dangers that threaten us in this life, both from within and from without. In reality, nowhere are we really safe, no matter how hard we try to acquire all kinds of securities. Nor is a merely human optimism sufficient for being able to cope with the uncertainties of this earthly life. Circumstances may arise everywhere for which we had not accounted or prepared. This is why Jesus tells us in the Gospel: “In the world you will have sufferings,” and then adds: “But be of good cheer: I have overcome the world” (Jn 16:33).
