We lost so much when the gates of Paradise were closed to us! Even if we have become accustomed to it and no longer perceive it with great pain, it is a deep misery into which man plunged when he fell into sin. But in the depths of our souls there is still a longing for Paradise, which can become an incentive for us to seek God. Read More

A beautiful flower in our Father’s heart is His mercy. With it, and not with inflexible severity, He wants to judge the world. Mercy is His unsurpassable motivation to be ever vigilant and to go out again and again in search of men, so that they may open themselves to His love. Read More

511st Meditation

 

Indeed, one would think that in all those parts of the world that have been blessed with the announcement of the Christian faith, as well as the regions marked by Judaism and those where there is knowledge of the Old Testament scriptures, God should be recognised as loving Father.

510th Meditation

“Time is in my hands, but with your zeal and love you can influence it” (Interior Word).

We can take this as an invitation from God that we can even collaborate in the history of salvation, because the times of His salvific action are not static and immovable.

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.

“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
