393rd Meditation
“My God, Trinity whom I adore (…), pacify my soul; make it your heaven, your beloved abode and the place of your repose. May I never leave you alone in it, but may I be there entirely, fully awake in my faith, in adoration, surrendered without reserve to your creative action” (St. Elizabeth of the Trinity). Read More
392nd Meditation
“Nothing should you consider as an obstacle on the way to the Lord. Do not pay so much attention to whether you are enthusiastic or discouraged. It is part of our condition of exile to change thus from one state of mind to the next. At such times, believe that He never changes, that in His goodness He always bends over you to draw you in and shelter you” (St. Elizabeth of the Trinity). Read More
391st Meditation
“He who preaches with love, refutes heretics (HERetiks) enough, even if he does not utter a single argument against them” (St. Francis de Sales).
A wonderful quote from St. Francis, which lends itself to meditation in our “3 minutes for Abba”. Read More
390th Meditation
“Someone says to me: ‘I must understand in order to believe’. I reply: ‘Believe that you may understand'” (St. Augustine).
In these words of St. Augustine we find once again that simplicity which pervades Sacred Scripture; a simplicity which enables us to arrive at the goal with certainty. Read More
389th Meditation
“Our good God has a burning desire to grant us the great treasure of His love, but He wants us to ask Him in supplication and to act in such a way that every deed we perform is a supplication imploring that love” (St. Teresa Margaret Redi).
We must plead fervently and insistently with the Father so that His desire to grant us the great treasure of His love may be fulfilled, as the phrase of the saint we have just heard suggests. Read More
388th Meditation
“When a soul approaches Me with trust, I fill it with such an abundance of graces that it cannot contain them within itself, but radiates them upon other souls. To people who spread devotion to my Mercy I protect them throughout their lives as a loving mother protects her children; and at the hour of their death I will not be their judge but their merciful redeemer (…). The sins that hurt me most are those of mistrust” (Jesus to Sister Faustina Kowalska). Read More
387th Meditation
In the Message to Mother Eugenia, the Father poses the following question in connection with the first petition we express each day in the Our Father: “Is my Name hallowed?”
If we go deeper into this question, we will certainly note right away that His Name is not sanctified as it deserves to be. For many people, it is much more difficult to recognize God as a loving Father than to feel Him as the Creator or to have a vague intuition of a superior being or other esoteric conceptions that define Him as an all-pervading force and energy, among many other imperfect, erroneous and false ideas of God.

386th Meditation
“There is nothing greater than when a person returns to God and experiences and welcomes His love” (Inner Word).
The great return of mankind to the house of the Heavenly Father is still pending. Therefore, humanity has not yet reached its goal. The Will of the Father is not yet fulfilled on earth as it is in heaven, as He desires. Many people do not even know that there is a Creator, let alone that this Creator is their loving Father, who has no greater desire than for His child to return to Him. Read More
385th Meditation
“Mildness, which is the work of the Holy Spirit, can conquer more hearts than hardness” (Interior Word).
Is this not how our Heavenly Father treats us, and does not this mildness exhale His entire Message to Mother Eugenie? Read More
384th Meditation
“I wish to be the hope of humanity. Am I not already? Man would be lost if I were not his hope” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).
Especially in these times of such darkness, our Father’s words point the way. He has pronounced them once and for all, and He wants us to assimilate them deeply. Read More
