353rd Meditation
“I am your consoler. Why then should you be afraid of mortal human beings, of a child of man, whose fate is that of the grass?” (Is 51:12).
Our Father invites us to focus all our attention on Him, becoming aware of His presence again and again. Our forgetfulness and carelessness cause us, in certain situations of life, not to think of Him. So it happens that we easily let circumstances determine us, and even dominate us. Read More
352nd Meditation
“I would like their (my creature’s) lives to be made sweeter through My law” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio). Read More
351st Meditation
It is important for the Lord that we know Him as He really is. Jesus Himself tries again and again to convey to us the true image of the Father. Indeed, it is only when we have the right image of Him that we can live in a trusting relationship with Him, just as He has intended for us. Then the joyful reality that God’s light spreads in this world shines forth, and Jesus’ words become a reality: “You are light for the world” (Mt 5:14). Read More
350th Meditation
“My dear children, I have lavished these gifts upon you with special graces for twenty centuries, but with what miserable results!” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
These words of the Father give us a glimpse into His Heart. The relationship between the riches God gives us and the fruits we bear from them is disproportionate. Read More
349th Meditation
“God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him” (1 Jn 4:16b).
The royal road is love. If we remain in love, the Father remains in us. And this path we can walk at any time and in any circumstance: we can always try to opt for the greater love. Read More
348th Meditation
We are called to bring to people the message that God loves them infinitely, and to show them the ways which the Heavenly Father has chosen to give them the certainty of this love.
It pleases God to involve us in this noble task, thus making us His co-workers.
Who would not like to tell about a sovereign who truly deserves this name; a sovereign who is at the same time father, brother and friend to us; a sovereign who does not need to be idealised ….; a king who loves? Read More
347th Meditation
“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want” (Ps 23:1).
In order to make Himself understood, our Lord speaks to us with comparisons that we know from our human life. The image of the Good Shepherd who, in his vigilant attitude, does not lose sight of the flock entrusted to him, wants to convey to us how the Lord watches over His own.
346th 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 (1 Jn 1:5). Our Father is love (1 Jn 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
345th Meditation
“With you I storm the rampart,
with my God I can scale any wall” (Ps 18:29).
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
344th Meditation
Our loving Father wants to dwell in our souls and build his temple in them. As St. Paul tells us, we are called to be the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:9). So it is not only the majestic and beautiful cathedrals where the Lord dwells in the tabernacle; but at all times and in all places we can find Him in our own heart, which becomes the tabernacle of His grace. Thus speaks the Father in the Message concerning the action of the Holy Spirit: Read More
