“I want to protect the young people as a tender Father. You who especially need someone to take care of you in life, so that you can avoid evil, come to Me! I am the Father Who loves you more than any other creature will ever be able to do!” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
“My soul has held fast to you, my God; for your sake I endured death by stoning.” (Lauds Antiphon for the Feast of St. Stephen).
“This is the revelation of God’s love for us, that God sent his only Son into the world that we might have life through him” (1 Jn 4:9).
“In the daytime God sends his faithful love, and even at night; the song it inspires in me is a prayer to my living God” (Ps 42:8).
The Feast of the Nativity of the Son of God draws nearer every day. Our hearts are to be filled with great joy and warmth. The promises announced and prepared from all eternity by our Father are coming to fulfillment. The plan of His love is becoming a reality…
The anguished search of the Heavenly Father for us continues ever since we lost the union with God which we enjoyed in Paradise. Every time we go astray, every time we turn away from “the fountain of living waters, to become cracked cisterns” (Jer 2:13), we hear in the background the call of the Father:
“And you who are in the true light, tell them how sweet it is to live in the truth!” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).
“The Law of the Lord is perfect, refreshment to the soul” (Ps 19:7).
When I awake in the morning, You, Father, are already there, and all night You have watched over me. Then You expect me to turn to You and my first word to be consecrated to You, gladly and joyously! But sometimes I forget and let myself be carried away by moods. What a pity!
