379th Meditation
“Do the Will of the Heavenly Father willingly, entirely and immediately” (Inner Word).
What great simplicity our life takes on when we begin to make these words a reality! What joy for the Heavenly Father when a soul seeks to serve Him in this way! How many unnecessary complications, which often make life sluggish and cumbersome, will fall away! Read More
378th Meditation
“Anyone who attaches himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him” (1 Cor 6:17).
What a wonderful invitation to become one spirit with our Father: to think like Him, to act like Him, to allow ourselves to be entirely formed by Him and to become like Him! Mission impossible? No! Read More
377th Meditation
“I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children. Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do” (Mt 11:25-26).
This is how our Father has arranged it in His wisdom. Read More
376th Meditation
“God is treating you as his sons. Has there ever been any son whose father did not train him?” (Heb 12:7).
At first these words may sound frightening to some. But this fright is not justified, because our Father wants nothing more than to give us the formation we need to reach our goal. Read More
375th Meditation
“The time is propitious, do not lose this love which is being offered to your hearts so tangibly” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).
We live in the time of grace, in the so-called “Kairos”. The door to the Heart of God is wide open thanks to His Son. It is open to all men, if they accept God’s invitation and turn to Him. But in addition to this time of grace for mankind in general, the Lord grants us again and again moments of particular grace. Read More
374th Meditation
Having completed the series of meditations on how to know, honour and love the Heavenly Father more deeply, it is fitting to hear from His own mouth why He asks these three things of us. In the Message of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio, it says:
“I am asking of man what he is able to give Me: his confidence, his love and his gratitude. It is not because I need My creature and his adoration that I desire to be known, honoured and loved; the only reason why I am stooping down to him is to save him and give him a share in My glory. Read More
373rd Meditation
To know, honour and love the Father…
If we look into the Heart of our Heavenly Father and trust in Him fully awakens in us, we will soon discover what is the infinitely great desire of this Heart. His deepest longing is to fill us with His love, and this love extends to all people, without exception. How much He desires that all should know Him in His Fatherly goodness! Read More
372nd Meditation
To know, honour and love the Father…
We understand that, through the first commandment, our Heavenly Father invites us to correspond to His love with our whole existence, without withholding anything from Him. Read More
371st Meditation
To know, honour and love the Father…
Even if our heart – which sometimes feels cold – seems to correspond so poorly to the Father’s love and is saddened by it, He gives us the opportunity to show Him our love in yet another way. It is also worth noting that the very fact that we are saddened by loving Him less ardently and perseveringly than we would like to is already a sign of love, because here the heart suffers when the expression of love does not flow from it and when we cannot enter into an intimate heart-to-heart relationship with God. Read More
370th Meditation
To know, honour and love the Father…
Our Father wants us to love Him with our whole heart, and we turn to the Holy Spirit to ask Him to accomplish this in us, detaching our hearts from all that hinders us from corresponding to this great love. Read More
