“The good God, who guides us as He pleases, has prepared everything with power and care since time immemorial” (St. Charles de Foucauld).

LIKE THE SON OF GOD
“Anoint people with mercy and consolation as the Son of God did” (St. Hildegard of Bingen).
What a beautiful task is entrusted to us Christians: to resemble the Lord in such a way that, when they meet us, men have at least an idea of what He is like! When I see how sacred music opens people’s hearts, penetrating them with its beauty and drawing them to the love of our Father, I think how wonderful it would be if we allowed the Holy Spirit to transform us into sacred music.

THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
“In the path of righteousness is life” (Prov 12:28).
If you seek life, walk in the path of justice.
Justice is one of the cardinal virtues that ennobles human beings and orients them towards God. A person who practices justice has a guideline that opens the doors to true life. He has an important criterion of discernment because he judges according to justice, not personal interests.
GOD HOLDS US IN HIS HAND
“Rejoice, for God holds you so firmly in His hand that you need not lean on your own security” (St. Hildegard of Bingen).
St. Hildegard of Bingen offers us a wonderful invitation that will grant us great freedom if we follow it. We love to lean on our own security so that we always have a solution at hand. Instead, Hildegard exhorts us to place all our trust in the hands of our Father, who can truly provide us with the security we need. Read More
THE SPIRIT OF FAMILIARITY
“I would like a great trust to arise between man and his Father in Heaven—a true spirit of familiarity and gentleness, so that my great goodness may not be abused” (Message of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
NOVENA TO GOD THE FATHER
A DEEPER LIBERATION
“Who can understand sins? From my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord” (Ps 19:13).
We are not always aware of all the faults we carry within us. Our self-knowledge does not reach the ultimate depths. Therefore, it is possible that there are contents in our unconscious that we will have to reject and bring before the Lord once we perceive them, so that He may purify us. Read More
THE INEXHAUSTIBLE THEME
“Come, my chosen one, and I will set my throne in your heart” (Antiphon from the Common of Virgins).
Love is the great theme, again and again. It’s no wonder, for it was out of love that our Father created, redeemed, and sanctified everything. Love is the greatest thing that gives deep meaning to all that exists. Without love, everything would be “as sounding brass” (1 Cor 13:1). Read More
THE SMALL FLOCK
“Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Lk 12:32).
GOD’S BELOVED FOREVER
“Oh, my good Lord, if only my soul could be called Your beloved” (Blessed Henry Suso).
In these words from the German mystic, we hear the longing of a soul that loves God. This longing has become so intense that it begs for the most intimate union with God. It is the desire of souls who have begun to love the Lord and recognize, in the light of this love, that they can and want to love Him more. Thus, this longing arises from the depths of the heart.
