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
117th 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).

116th 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
115th 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
114th 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
113th 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
112th 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
111th 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
110th 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
109th 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
