MAY THE WHOLE WORLD PROCLAIM YOUR GOODNESS
May the whole world proclaim your paternal goodness and your divine mercy” (from Mother Eugenia Ravasio’s prayer “God is my Father”).
DEEP WITHIN YOURSELF
“Always cling to me and go deep within yourself. There I am present” (Inner Word).
THE WISE GUIDANCE OF OUR FATHER
“Do what you can, ask for what you cannot, and God will give you so that you can” (St. Augustine).
Once we have set out on the path of following the Lord, our Father takes us into His service and gives us great responsibility. We should never give up in the face of difficulties that may come our way and which tend to “puff up”, appearing bigger than they really are. This also applies to situations that seem insurmountable. Here we are invited to put into practice St Augustine’s phrase: we go as far as we can and at this point we ask our Father for the grace to face in the right way what lies before and beyond us.
INCOMPATIBILITY BETWEEN LOVE OF GOD AND INJUSTICE
“The more God’s love reigns in a person, the less power injustice will have over him” (St. Augustine).
THE SALVATION OF SOULS
“Every day is important; in every hour I offer my salvation to people” (Inner Word).
These words remind us of Saint Paul’s exhortation: “Make the most of the time” (Eph 5:16). They call us to great vigilance and to be attentive to the guidance of our Father. Indeed, this vigilance helps us to remain aware of the importance of the salvation of souls, which we would otherwise be in danger of forgetting in the course of time.

YOU ARE MY FATHER AND I AM YOUR SON
“My Father in Heaven, how sweet it is to know that You are my Father and that I am Your child!” (from Mother Eugenia Ravasio’s prayer “God is my Father”).
GOD IS MY FATHER
This is part of the prayer that God the Father Himself imparted to Mother Eugenia Ravasio:
My Father in Heaven, how sweet it is to know that You are my Father and that I am Your child!
