389th Meditation
“Our good God has a burning desire to grant us the great treasure of His love, but He wants us to ask Him in supplication and to act in such a way that every deed we perform is a supplication imploring that love” (St. Teresa Margaret Redi).
We must plead fervently and insistently with the Father so that His desire to grant us the great treasure of His love may be fulfilled, as the phrase of the saint we have just heard suggests. Read More
388th Meditation
“When a soul approaches Me with trust, I fill it with such an abundance of graces that it cannot contain them within itself, but radiates them upon other souls. To people who spread devotion to my Mercy I protect them throughout their lives as a loving mother protects her children; and at the hour of their death I will not be their judge but their merciful redeemer (…). The sins that hurt me most are those of mistrust” (Jesus to Sister Faustina Kowalska). Read More
387th Meditation
In the Message to Mother Eugenia, the Father poses the following question in connection with the first petition we express each day in the Our Father: “Is my Name hallowed?”
If we go deeper into this question, we will certainly note right away that His Name is not sanctified as it deserves to be. For many people, it is much more difficult to recognize God as a loving Father than to feel Him as the Creator or to have a vague intuition of a superior being or other esoteric conceptions that define Him as an all-pervading force and energy, among many other imperfect, erroneous and false ideas of God.

386th Meditation
“There is nothing greater than when a person returns to God and experiences and welcomes His love” (Inner Word).
The great return of mankind to the house of the Heavenly Father is still pending. Therefore, humanity has not yet reached its goal. The Will of the Father is not yet fulfilled on earth as it is in heaven, as He desires. Many people do not even know that there is a Creator, let alone that this Creator is their loving Father, who has no greater desire than for His child to return to Him. Read More
385th Meditation
“Mildness, which is the work of the Holy Spirit, can conquer more hearts than hardness” (Interior Word).
Is this not how our Heavenly Father treats us, and does not this mildness exhale His entire Message to Mother Eugenie? Read More
384th Meditation
“I wish to be the hope of humanity. Am I not already? Man would be lost if I were not his hope” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).
Especially in these times of such darkness, our Father’s words point the way. He has pronounced them once and for all, and He wants us to assimilate them deeply. Read More
383rd Meditation
“Keep your heart always in mine” (Interior Word).
“Wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be too” (Mt 6:21) – the Lord tells us in the Gospel. Our heart must belong first and foremost to the Father. It has its home in Him and will never be disappointed. Read More
382nd Meditation
“Endure suffering with dignity and serenity. Thus it will become a great treasure which will serve to save mankind” (Inner Word).
Our Father is able to make all circumstances fruitful, making us participants and co-operators in His great work of love. Suffering was certainly not part of God’s original plan for man, so why would our Father create us and then make us suffer? We know that suffering came into the world as a consequence of man’s sin. But now it becomes a good occasion for us to show the Father our love. Read More
381st Meditation
“Light drives away all darkness, so much so that even the slightest false thought hurts you” (Inner Word).
Light is incompatible with darkness and drives it away. When our Father makes His dwelling place in our heart, everything that should not be there has to give way. Jesus points out that all evil thoughts come from the heart of a person (Mt 15:19). Read More

“You are my friend and confidant. Take courage and go on your way day by day” (Inner Word).
God wants to bring us into such a close relationship. Our Father Himself seeks our friendship, so that we may be united with Him in the great work He wants to accomplish on earth for people and with people. Read More
