“Do as the fish does: when you feel a storm coming, immediately immerse yourself in contemplation and take refuge in the arms of Christ; thus you will be safe from all the temptations of the world and the dark powers” (St. Peter of Alcantara).

REMAINING FAITHFUL TO THE TRUTH
“If our religion is truly the truth and the Gospel is truly the Word of God, then we must believe and live according to it, even if we were the only ones” (St. Bonaventure).
WILL I FIND SOMEONE?
“I so ardently thirst to be loved by men in the Most Blessed Sacrament that this thirst devours Me, and I find no one who strives to quench it in order to respond in some way to My love.” (Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque)
“MY LOVE NEVER GAVE UP”
Let us continue with the story that our Father tells us in the Message to Mother Eugenia to help us understand how great His love is for us, mankind. Let us remember that this is a soul who never gave thanks for the blessings God granted her, who offended Him, who lived immersed in a web of errors, and for whom mortal sin had become habitual.
OUR FATHER’S WAITING
“I was waiting for him,” says Our Father in His account of the soul that did not want to listen to Him and constantly offended Him with his way of life. This expresses the great waiting of Our heavenly Father for all people, whom He has destined for eternal communion with Him. He waits until we enter eternity, when we will never again stray from His side. Only then will the waiting be consummated in a feast of unshakeable joy. Sometimes in this life, we can experience a foretaste of this joy, but its fullness remains a promise.
THE LOVING TREATMENT OF THE FATHER TOWARDS AN UNGRATEFUL SOUL
The message from the Heavenly Father to Mother Eugenia Ravasio aims to help us get to know God the Father better. One of the most moving passages is when He tells the story of a soul who constantly offended Him with his sins and whom He nevertheless accompanied patiently until the hour of his death. Shortly before dying, this person repented for his life and invoked the Father. I highly recommend reading this passage in its entirety, as it allows one to deeply reflect on the heart of our Father: https://www.dioepadre.org/msg/msg_inglese.pdf (Part I of the message, last two pages).

LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE LORD IN YOUR HEART!
“When you contemplate what I tell you in the depths of your heart, you gain much more than if you read many books. Oh, if only souls would listen to my voice when I speak to them in their hearts, they would quickly reach the summit of holiness” (From the Diary of Sister Faustina).
WHEN WILL I SEE THE FACE OF GOD?
“My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and behold the face of God?” (Psalm 42:2).
THE SOUL: When, beloved Father, when will the hour come? I am dying of thirst!”
OUR GUARDIAN ANGEL
“For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways” (Ps 91:11).
THE FATHER’S LOVE HEALS PEOPLE’S HEARTS
“You must proclaim My love for mankind in order to heal their hearts” (Interior word).
The exhortation contained in today’s phrase undoubtedly extends to all those who have entered into an intimate relationship with God and wish to follow the impulses and requests He addresses to us in the Message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio.
