178th Meditation
When I awake in the morning, You, Father, are already there, and all night You have watched over me. Then You expect me to turn to You and my first word to be consecrated to You, gladly and joyously! But sometimes I forget and let myself be carried away by moods. What a pity!
How important is this first word: the greeting to You! It places me in the truth of being, for who in the order of the redeemed Creation would not greet You? Read More
177th Meditation
The more we love Jesus, the more we love our Heavenly Father, who sent Him into the world. Everything we do to the glory and honour of the Son of God also glorifies the One from whom He proceeds. Through Jesus, we come to the Father (cf. Jn 14:6).
However, the Father desires to be honoured with an own feast and cult, even beyond the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. Read More
176th Meditation
What great mercy you had towards us in sending us your Son Jesus! With incomparable love you set your gaze upon us, who so often run away from you or even turn against you, who offend you with our sins or simply forget you. You, on the other hand, are always present and look at us with love. You care attentively for us, because you do not want us to lead a meaningless life, let alone to be lost forever. Read More
175th Meditation
“Your heaven, My creatures, is in paradise, together with My chosen ones, because it is there that you will contemplate Me in an everlasting vision and will enjoy eternal glory. My heaven is on earth with you all, o men! Yes, it is on earth and in your souls that I look for My happiness and My joy. You can provide Me with this joy and it is also your duty towards your Creator and Father, Who desires and expects this of you” (Father’s Message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio). Read More
174th Meditation
“Some call on chariots,
some on horses;
but we call upon the name
of the Lord our God” (Ps 19:8).
The number of the faithful who firmly adhere to Tradition and to the doctrine of the faith is ever decreasing. The number of those who are no longer submitted to the previous teachings of the Church is increasing. Read More
173rd Meditation
“Though an army pitch camp against me, my heart will not fear, though war break out against me, my trust will never be shaken” (Ps 26:3).
Our Father does not exempt us from the combat in which we are immersed as long as our earthly life lasts. But He does have our backs. No one who wants to walk the path of holiness, to which we are all called, will be able to escape this struggle. If anyone evades it, they have already lost the battle. Read More
172nd Meditation
“The joy I feel in being with you is no less great than that which I felt when I was with My Son Jesus during His mortal life” (Father’s Message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).
Our Father never tires of expressing His love to us in a thousand ways, until we finally believe in it and reciprocate His love. Read More
171st Meditation
“With you I storm the rampart,
with my God I can scale any wall” (Ps 17:30).
Our Father gives us the courage to do great things with Him. Not infrequently “hedges and walls” are erected on the path of following the Lord, which want to discourage us: obstacles that seem insurmountable, one difficulty after another, setbacks and perhaps even concrete enmities. Read More
170th Meditation
“Nothing is impossible for me, and when I find an open heart, I want to give it everything” (Inner Word).
For our Father it is a great treasure to find an open heart. To this person He can grant everything, not withholding anything of what He has arranged for them in His love. An open heart is a great joy for Him.
We have certainly experienced this also on the human level, when we meet someone who has an open heart towards us. How easy it is to establish a fruitful communion with such a person! Read More
169th Meditation
“You delight in sincerity of heart,
and in secret you teach me wisdom” (Ps 51:6).
The sincere heart mentioned in the psalm is related to purity of heart, which can become very deep. The more we advance in the process of purification, the more we will perceive the movements of our heart, thanks to the light of the Holy Spirit. Everything, even the smallest things, will be opened before God, so that all inner blockage towards Him begins to dissolve. Read More
