A DELIGHT FOR GOD

«O Lord, you derive no profit from dwelling among us, but you love us so much that you say it is your delight to be in our midst» (St Bonaventure).

Our Father’s love overwhelms us again and again and always finds new ways to manifest itself to us. As long as our heart is not totally dulled and too absorbed by the busyness of this world, we will recognise it every time we take the time to listen to the Heart of God. It may be communicated to us very softly, as the Holy Spirit often works in us, but it is so deeply impressed on our soul that we should never forget it and should always keep it in mind.

THE FATHER HIMSELF OFFERS THE SACRIFICE

«If one of My creatures had been enough to atone for the sins of other men through a life and death similar to those of My Son, I would have hesitated. Why? Because I would have betrayed My love by making a beloved creature suffer, rather than suffering Myself, in My Son. I would never have wished My children to suffer.» (Message of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

A PATH LAID OUT

« I received His [of my Son Jesus], prayers, that man might have a clearly indicated path along which to walk always in justice, so as to reach Me safely! » (Message of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

In His solicitous love, our Father has foreseen and prepared everything for His children. He not only offers us natural goods with great wisdom and love so that we may delight in them by gratefully attributing them to our Father as their origin, but much more still He showers us with spiritual goods, so that we may increasingly admire His love manifested in them.

THE REMEMBRANCE OF GOD

‘I gave Moses My commandments to remind them, in spite of everything, of God, their Father, and of His sole wish, to save them. They were supposed to observe the commandments and thereby remember their infinitely good Father, always intent upon their present and eternal salvation’ (Message of God the Father to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).

The commandments of the Lord… How important it is to keep them to this day, for they are an expression of His fatherly goodness! How much destruction is caused in every way by transgressing them!

OUR FATHER LOVES US MORE THAN HIMSELF

‘In the end, man was created! I was pleased with My handiwork. Man sins, but it is precisely then that My infinite generosity shows itself’ (Message of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

Being omniscient, our Father knew that man would be separated from Him by sin. However, His love did not allow this knowledge to prevent Him from creating man and taking pleasure in His work. In response to man’s sin, God showed even greater goodness and paved the way of salvation for us. All of us who follow His Son, Jesus Christ, know this way, and through it, we can understand the love of our Father ever more deeply. In the Message to Mother Eugenia, after explaining how men forgot Him and created laws according to their vices, offending Him along the way, the Heavenly Father expresses the extent of His love: ‘I did not stop there. Understand well that I loved you, as it were, more than My beloved Son, or rather, more than Myself’.

CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD  

“I am the Eternal One, and when I was alone, I had already thought of using all My power to create beings in My image” (Message of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

Thus, we human beings have always been part of the loving plan of our Heavenly Father. The certainty that He has always had us in mind lifts us above the ordinary course of time. This is true of every life that is born of our Father’s goodness. It is accepted, it is wanted, it is called into being because our Father has always willed it and has prepared everything for it. With infinite wisdom and care He has foreseen all that we would need to live. This is how He expresses it in His Message to Mother Eugenia:
