122nd Meditation

“Do not overburden yourselves or burden yourselves with unnecessary worries – let me take care of everything! I want you totally pure and sincere, walking hand in hand with the Father like children, without worrying about what tomorrow will bring” (Inner Word).

Unconcern-not to be confused with naivety or lack of responsibility-is founded on trust in God and confers a special radiance to the path of following Christ. It often goes hand in hand with a certain joy and serenity, which even in the most difficult situations does not fade. Read More

121st Meditation on God the Father

“If you wish to test the power of this spring about which I am talking, first learn to know Me better and to love Me to the extent that I desire, that is, not only as a Father, but as your Friend and Confidant” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).

“O Lord, you search me and know me, you know when I sit, when I rise, you understand my thoughts from afar. You watch when I walk or lie down, you know every detail of my conduct. A word is not yet on my tongue before you, O Lord, know all about it” (Ps 138:1-4). Read More

120th Meditation on God the Father

“It is not enough for Me to have shown you My love; I also want to open up My Heart to you, whence a refreshing spring will issue and where all men will quench their thirst (…) If you wish to test the power of this spring about which I am talking, first learn to know Me better and to love Me to the extent that I desire, that is, not only as a Father, but as your Friend and Confidant” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).

119th Meditation

“The Lord your God is in your midst, the warrior-Saviour. He will rejoice over you with happy song, he will renew you by his love, he will dance with shouts of joy for you” (Zeph 3:17).

Our Heavenly Father addresses these words to His chosen people and particularly to Jerusalem. He wants to have compassion and renew His love, in spite of all the transgressions of the people. Read More

118th Meditation

“My children, I am the source of all graces and benefits; but, even more, I am an abyss of love. Have you contemplated the immense Ocean of My mercy? Come, see and immerse yourselves in the immensity of My love” (Message of the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

The Father invites us again and again to immerse ourselves in His love. All the mystics speak of it and long to be enveloped and transformed by this love. Read More

117^th Meditation on God the Father

“Do what I have already instructed you to do: honour Me with a special devotion. May this make you know My will to give you many benefits and to let you share in large measure in My power and My glory, simply in order to make you happy and save you, and to show My sole desire: to love you and be loved in return by you” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).

116^th Meditation on God the Father

“I spend days, sometimes years, close to some souls to be able to ensure their eternal happiness. They do not know that I am there waiting for them, calling them every moment of the day… However, I never become weary…

I will give you an example of a soul who is facing sudden death; this soul has always been for me like the Prodigal Son.  Read More

115^th Meditation on God the Father

“Yet you are merciful to all, because you are almighty, you overlook people’s sins, so that they can repent” (Wis 11:23).

These words of Sacred Scripture reveal to us why our Father often waits so long for humans to convert, while we would have long since lost patience and invoked judgment upon them. The disciples also had to learn this lesson, when they wanted to bring down fire from heaven on a village that did not welcome Jesus (Lk 9:51-56). Read More

114^th Meditation on God the Father

Our Father’s love is poured out upon us especially through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, whose worthy celebration and participation He commends to us. Here again we are the recipients and the guests – as long as we are in a state of grace – and we simply give God the opportunity to shower us with His goodness, as He is so fond of doing.

Thus He tells us in the Message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio:

“Through this Sacrament you are intimately united with Me. It is in this intimacy that the outpouring of My love makes My holiness spread into your souls” (Father’s Message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio). Read More

113^th Meditation on God the Father

After having thematized in these last two daily reflections the goodness of our Heavenly Father and His desire to forgive even our most atrocious sins, I would like to simply “let” the Father Himself speak today, by quoting two passages from the Message to Mother Eugenia Ravasio on this subject.

My intention is to give encouragement to each person. Whatever the situation in which we find ourselves, we can always turn to our loving Father. We must never let ourselves be carried away by despair! Each person, having received the Lord’s forgiveness, can begin to “lay up treasures in heaven” (Mt 6:20), to gather gold for the Kingdom of God.  Read More
