333rd Meditation
“If you know me, you will know my Father too. Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” (Jn 14:7,9).
These words of our Lord lead us to the knowledge of the Father. Our Saviour wants to make the Father known to us, and we understand that He does the works of His Father so that the Father may be glorified and we may know Him as He truly is (Jn 10:37-38). Read More
332nd Meditation
“As long as man does not live in the truth, he cannot taste real freedom” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
Without truth, there can be no real freedom. “The truth will set you free” – the Lord tells us in the Gospel. Only living in accordance with the Father will lead us to where true freedom dwells. Read More
331st Meditation
“Though night still covers the earth and darkness the peoples, on you the Lord is rising and over you his glory can be seen” (Is 60:2).
Do these words not accurately describe the present situation of the world, if one does not close one’s eyes to reality? Is not the loss of faith increasingly obscuring the life of peoples? Has not confusion penetrated even into our Holy Church? Read More
330th Meditation
“Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips! Do not let my heart incline to any evil” (Ps 141:3-4a).
The tongue is “a whole wicked world” (James 3:6) and it is from our heart that evil proceeds (cf. Mt 15:19). This is what Sacred Scripture tells us, with its incomparable sobriety and without beating about the bush. “Who can discern his errors?” (Ps 19:12). Read More
329th Meditation
“Let faithful love and constancy never leave you: tie them round your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart” (Prov 3:3).
God’s fatherly admonitions point us in the right direction. We must never neglect the path of virtue, and we must always return to it if we have strayed even a little. After every defeat we must get up again and get back on track. Read More
328th Meditation
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding” (Prov 3:5).
How easily we tend to seek our security in ourselves or in passing things! Especially if we are intellectually gifted, we believe that we can overcome everything with human intelligence. Yet this is a great folly. Read More
327th Meditation
“The missionaries have spoken and still speak of God as far as they know Him, but I assure you, you do not know Me as I am, because I am coming to proclaim Myself the Father of all” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
Here, the Father explains one of the reasons why He wants to make Himself known to mankind through Mother Eugenia Ravasio. Evidently, the true image of our Father has not yet sufficiently penetrated the souls of people. The devil has managed that an imperfect, distorted and false image of God persists, even in those Christians who already follow the Lord. Read More
326th Meditation
“If you knew this Father (…), would not then this love which you would offer me (…) extend itself to the rest of humanity who still do not know this Christian society and who know even less Him Who created them and is their Father?” (The Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio). Read More
325th Meditation
“If you knew this Father (…), would not then this love which you would offer me become, under My impulse, an active love?” (Message of the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
As we get to know our Father more deeply, the love that dwells in His paternal Heart awakens in us. If we love Him, we will at the same time love people and seek their salvation. Read More
324th Meditation
“Is it not true that, if you knew this Father (…), you would love Me as affectionate children?” (Father’s Message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
We know that, in the Message to Mother Eugenia, the Father speaks again and again that we must know Him, honour Him and love Him. Read More
