112^th Meditation on God the Father

“Even if your sins were as repulsive as mud, your confidence and your love will make Me forget them, so you will not be judged! I am just, it is true, but love pays for everything!” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).

Our Father speaks here of grave and repugnant sins, which perhaps we ourselves find it difficult to forgive. Not infrequently it happens that people, once they recognize the magnitude of their faults, fall into despair and are unable to forgive themselves. Thus, they block their own lives and, despite having received God’s forgiveness, sin continues to cast its shadow over them. Read More

111^th Meditation on God the Father

“I am the best of Fathers! I know My creatures’ weaknesses! Come to Me, come with confidence and love! I will forgive you after you have repented” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

It is that simple… That is how simple God’s love is offered to us day by day.

It was God who took upon Himself our faults, nailing them to the Cross. He carried all our sufferings and sins to Mount Calvary. Read More

110^th Meditation on God the Father

“I therefore desire man to remember often that I am right there, where he is, that he could not live if I were not with him, living just as he is. In spite of his unbelief, I always remain close to him” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

The memory of God… How easily it fades from our minds! How quickly our thoughts become occupied with the things of this world and begin to wander! There are even people who spend a lifetime without thinking about God, and perhaps have heard little or nothing about Him. Read More

109^th Meditation on God the Father

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice” (Phil 4:4).

Without knowing our Heavenly Father and without the certainty of His love for us, we cannot find true happiness. The joy which passing things give us is temporary and, therefore, cannot satisfy our innermost longing. Read More

108^th Meditation on God the Father

Our Father loves to be close to us. This is how He expresses it in the Message to Mother Eugenia:

“Realize then, o men, that for all eternity I have had but one desire, to make Myself known to men and be loved by them. I wish to stay for ever with them!” (Father’s Message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio). Read More

107^th Meditation on God the Father

 “The missionaries have spoken and still speak of God as far as they know Him, but I assure you, you do not know Me as I am, because I am coming to proclaim Myself the Father of all and the most tender of fathers, in order to transform your love, which has become distorted by fear” (Father’s Message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).

The words we heard yesterday from Father’s Message urged us to bear witness to “how sweet it is to live in truth”. The passage we meditate on today shows us how important it is to also transmit the right image of God. Read More

106^th Meditation on God the Father

“You who are in the true light, tell them [mankind] how sweet it is to live in the truth!” (Father’s Message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).

This request springs from the depths of our Heavenly Father’s Heart and is addressed to all people who are in the true light. It is important to pay close attention to these words: only when we live in the “true light” are we able to give the witness that the world so urgently needs. Ambiguity only confuses people!

105^th Meditation on God the Father

“Do you wish to gain victory over your enemy? Call upon Me and you will triumph over him” (Father’s Message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

In His Message, our Father does not leave aside the dimension of spiritual combat, because, in fact, we do have enemies. These are, first of all, the fallen angels, who try to include us in their rebellion against God or, at least, to hinder our journey with the Lord. Read More

104^th Meditation on God the Father

“Come, come closer to Me, you have every right to approach your Father; open up your hearts, pray to My Son that He may help you to know even better My goodness towards you!” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).

The ever deeper discovery of God’s goodness and mercy is of unimaginable importance, because to the person who knows that they are loved and accepted by Him, the great mystery of love that lies behind their life is revealed. It is the certainty of faith that enlightens our understanding and penetrates our hearts like a living light. In this way, our existence begins to be healed at its root. Read More

103^rd Meditation on God the Father

“I also desire that every family prominently display the picture I will later show to My “little daughter”. I wish every family to be able to place itself under My special protection in this way, so that they can honour Me more easily” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).

The Father satisfies our human need to see and feel. Just as we often place pictures and photos of our loved ones in our home to make it easier to remember them, so our Father wants us to place an image of Him in our home. Read More
