383rd Meditation
“Keep your heart always in mine” (Interior Word).
“Wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be too” (Mt 6:21) – the Lord tells us in the Gospel. Our heart must belong first and foremost to the Father. It has its home in Him and will never be disappointed. Read More
382nd Meditation
“Endure suffering with dignity and serenity. Thus it will become a great treasure which will serve to save mankind” (Inner Word).
Our Father is able to make all circumstances fruitful, making us participants and co-operators in His great work of love. Suffering was certainly not part of God’s original plan for man, so why would our Father create us and then make us suffer? We know that suffering came into the world as a consequence of man’s sin. But now it becomes a good occasion for us to show the Father our love. Read More
381st Meditation
“Light drives away all darkness, so much so that even the slightest false thought hurts you” (Inner Word).
Light is incompatible with darkness and drives it away. When our Father makes His dwelling place in our heart, everything that should not be there has to give way. Jesus points out that all evil thoughts come from the heart of a person (Mt 15:19). Read More

“You are my friend and confidant. Take courage and go on your way day by day” (Inner Word).
God wants to bring us into such a close relationship. Our Father Himself seeks our friendship, so that we may be united with Him in the great work He wants to accomplish on earth for people and with people. Read More
379th Meditation
“Do the Will of the Heavenly Father willingly, entirely and immediately” (Inner Word).
What great simplicity our life takes on when we begin to make these words a reality! What joy for the Heavenly Father when a soul seeks to serve Him in this way! How many unnecessary complications, which often make life sluggish and cumbersome, will fall away! Read More
378th Meditation
“Anyone who attaches himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him” (1 Cor 6:17).
What a wonderful invitation to become one spirit with our Father: to think like Him, to act like Him, to allow ourselves to be entirely formed by Him and to become like Him! Mission impossible? No! Read More
377th Meditation
“I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children. Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do” (Mt 11:25-26).
This is how our Father has arranged it in His wisdom. Read More
376th Meditation
“God is treating you as his sons. Has there ever been any son whose father did not train him?” (Heb 12:7).
At first these words may sound frightening to some. But this fright is not justified, because our Father wants nothing more than to give us the formation we need to reach our goal. Read More
375th Meditation
“The time is propitious, do not lose this love which is being offered to your hearts so tangibly” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).
We live in the time of grace, in the so-called “Kairos”. The door to the Heart of God is wide open thanks to His Son. It is open to all men, if they accept God’s invitation and turn to Him. But in addition to this time of grace for mankind in general, the Lord grants us again and again moments of particular grace. Read More
374th Meditation
Having completed the series of meditations on how to know, honour and love the Heavenly Father more deeply, it is fitting to hear from His own mouth why He asks these three things of us. In the Message of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio, it says:
“I am asking of man what he is able to give Me: his confidence, his love and his gratitude. It is not because I need My creature and his adoration that I desire to be known, honoured and loved; the only reason why I am stooping down to him is to save him and give him a share in My glory. Read More
