THE HONOR OF BEING CHILDREN OF GOD
“Call Him Father many times a day and tell Him – alone, in your heart – that you love Him, that you adore Him: that you feel the pride and the strength of being His child” (St. Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer). Read More
REST IN THE DIVINE SONSHIP
“Rest in the divine sonship. God is a Father – your Father – full of tenderness, full of infinite love” (St Josemaria Escriva).
THE PRICE OF LOVE
“The light of God dispels all darkness, so much so that you will be pained by the slightest wrong thought that you have” (Inner Word).
A WIDENED HEART
“Your heart needs to be enlarged because a most loving God dwells in it” (Inner Word).
Often our hearts are so small and narrow, apart from the fact that there are so many things in them that need to be purified by the love of God. This is foremost the work of the Holy Spirit, sent to us by the Father and the Son. Read More
THE TRIUMPH OF THE FATHER IN THE HEART OF MARY
“The Heart of Mary is a pure and holy enclosure for encountering God” (Interior Word).
Is there another heart besides that of Jesus in which Our Father could dwell with all His love? Yes, in the Immaculate Heart of Mary. As the Church truthfully teaches us, the Virgin Mary, by an act of God’s grace, was preserved from original sin in view of the mission that was to be entrusted to her.

THE SAVIOUR OF HUMANITY
“No one comes to the Father, but by me” (Jn 14:6).
How important it is that we Christians never relativize, let alone deny, this affirmation! These are words spoken by the Son of God at the command of our heavenly Father, and they are therefore an invitation to all humanity. Those who think that the Sacrifice of the Lord can be set aside and that every religion will find its own way to God are mistaken. Whoever holds this view has not understood the Christian faith, because our Father wants us to come to Him through His Son. It was He who prepared the way for us; moreover, He Himself became the way for us. Read More
LOVE OVERFLOWING
“Love must inundate you. This is what it desires and for this it seeks you” (Inner Word).
This is what our Father wants, because since He is love Himself, He cannot help but seek a recipient for this love. Let us remember the prayer that our Father Himself asked us to address to Him in the message to Mother Eugenia: “Ask me to establish the work of my love in the souls of all people”. Read More
NEVER FORGET THE MERCY OF GOD
