509th Meditation
When we accept and internalise the love of our Heavenly Father, when God Himself dwells in us and His Holy Spirit transforms us, then we come to know our Father’s heart more and more. Very soon we will notice that He has an urgent desire to make His love known to all people.
508th Meditation
“Taste the sweetness of this health-giving water, and when you have felt all its delicious power in your souls satisfying all your needs, come and cast yourselves into the ocean of My charity, so as to live only in Me, to die to yourselves and to live eternally in Me” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

507th Meditation
“The Lord is (…) good in all his deeds” (Ps 114:13b); the Lord is the Good One par excellence.
To the one who approached Jesus and called Him “Good Teacher,” Jesus replied: “No one is good but God alone” (Mk 10:18).
From the Heart of God flows this goodness, which is His essence and which He wants to make known to all people. Read More
506th Meditation
On our way of following Christ, we have to deal with our weaknesses again and again. Often we do not succeed in overcoming them as we would like to and, despite our sincere efforts, they catch up with us. Sometimes we fall into sin, and then feelings of despair may even arise because we are simply not able to resist the temptations. Read More
505th Meditation
“It is a joy for me to speak with you. There are not many who will lend me an ear and with whom I can dialogue” (Interior Word).
Not seldom do we look for someone to talk to, someone who knows how to listen to us and who is interested in our concerns… How happy we are when we find such a person! This person can easily become our friend and confidant. This longing of ours is especially fulfilled when we turn to our Heavenly Father, who we can be sure understands us and always has time to listen to us. Then the Father becomes our friend and confidant. Read More
504th Meditation
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love” (Jn 15:9).
The Lord Jesus shows us here the correct hierarchy of love. It comes from the Father and is offered to us in His Son: “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son” (Jn 3:16). Read More
“All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved”, Holy Scripture affirms (Rom 10:13).
Perhaps we do not always immediately understand that it is so easy to be saved… Indeed, we are also familiar with those other statements in Scripture about the narrow gate that leads to eternal life and the wide and spacious road that leads to destruction, and the Lord warns that “many take it” (Mt 7:13).

God’s love embraces all people, whom he wants to bring to the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim 2,4). We know the way he has chosen: it is His Son Jesus, who says of Himself: “I am the Way; I am Truth and Life. No one can come to the Father except through me” (Jn 1:6). Read More
501st Meditation
God brings those who believe in Him into an ever deeper relationship with Him, and purifies them of all that hinders them from fully receiving His love. If they live in this trust that the Father asks of them, they will shine as “the light of the world” (Mt 5:14).
“And light shines in darkness…” (Jn 1:5). Read More
It is important to realise that in loving us, our Father makes himself vulnerable. We can see this especially in the Passion of his Son. A very sensitive point for the Father’s Heart is when we have a false respect for Him, derived from fear of God, which then tends to manifest itself also in the relationship with His ecclesiastical representatives.
