THE SENSITIVE HEART OF GOD

351st Meditation

It is important for the Lord that we know Him as He really is. Jesus Himself tries again and again to convey to us the true image of the Father. Indeed, it is only when we have the right image of Him that we can live in a trusting relationship with Him, just as He has intended for us. Then the joyful reality that God’s light spreads in this world shines forth, and Jesus’ words become a reality: “You are light for the world” (Mt 5:14). Read More

“HAVE PITY ON YOURSELVES”

350th Meditation

“My dear children, I have lavished these gifts upon you with special graces for twenty centuries, but with what miserable results!” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

These words of the Father give us a glimpse into His Heart. The relationship between the riches God gives us and the fruits we bear from them is disproportionate. Read More

TO CONQUER SOULS BY LOVE

348th Meditation 

We are called to bring to people the message that God loves them infinitely, and to show them the ways which the Heavenly Father has chosen to give them the certainty of this love.

It pleases God to involve us in this noble task, thus making us His co-workers.

Who would not like to tell about a sovereign who truly deserves this name; a sovereign who is at the same time father, brother and friend to us; a sovereign who does not need to be idealised ….; a king who loves? Read More

 THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

347th Meditation

 “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want” (Ps 23:1).

In order to make Himself understood, our Lord speaks to us with comparisons that we know from our human life. The image of the Good Shepherd who, in his vigilant attitude, does not lose sight of the flock entrusted to him, wants to convey to us how the Lord watches over His own.

MY LIGHT DRIVES AWAY ALL DARKNESS

346th Meditation

“My light drives away all darkness, to the point that it pains you to have had even the slightest wrong thought” (Interior Word).

God is light and there is no shadow in Him (1 Jn 1:5). Our Father is love (1 Jn 4:8b). When love is poured into our hearts and we allow ourselves to be moved by it, nothing can stand in the way of this love. This is how the purification of the heart takes place. Read More

WITH MY GOD I CAN SCALE ANY WALL

345th Meditation

“With you I storm the rampart,

with my God I can scale any wall” (Ps 18:29).

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

THE WORK OF THE SPIRIT

344th Meditation

Our loving Father wants to dwell in our souls and build his temple in them. As St. Paul tells us, we are called to be the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:9). So it is not only the majestic and beautiful cathedrals where the Lord dwells in the tabernacle; but at all times and in all places we can find Him in our own heart, which becomes the tabernacle of His grace. Thus speaks the Father in the Message concerning the action of the Holy Spirit: Read More

A NEW HEART

343rd Meditation

“I shall give you a new heart, and put a new spirit in you; I shall remove the heart of stone from your bodies and give you a heart of flesh instead” (Ezek 36:26).

What is at stake is the heart of man! To whom does it belong?

Our Heavenly Father wants to dwell in our heart and make it receptive to His love, which He unceasingly offers us. The new heart that He gives us is one that is no longer hardened, that no longer closes itself off to love, that opens itself to the needs of all, that no longer tolerates the coldness that it still discovers in itself and allows the love of God to melt the layer of ice that often surrounds it.
