88^th Meditation on God the Father

“My love for My creatures is so great that I have no greater joy than that of being among them.” (Message of the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio)

At first, these words are certainly surprising. If we do not remain with our eyes closed in the face of our own misery and if we get to know ourselves and other people a little, if we take a look at history and listen to the accounts of Sacred Scripture, the question will easily arise in us: “Lord, what is it that you find in us that you are so pleased to be in our midst?” Read More

87^th Meditation on God the Father

“My presence among you is like the sun on the earth. If you are well disposed to receive Me, I will come very close to you, enter into you, light you up and warm you with My infinite love” (The Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

On a natural level, the sun gives us light and warmth, awakening us to life. It is a wonderful gift from God. The Father uses this example to compare it with His presence and His work in our midst. Read More

86^th Meditation on God the Father

“I will not give rein to my fierce anger, I will not destroy Ephraim again, for I am God, not man, the Holy One in your midst, and I shall not come to you in anger” (Hos 11:9).

Undoubtedly many acts committed by man attract the wrath of God, for He is merciful but also just. Let us remember, for example, how Jesus expelled the merchants from the Temple (Jn 2:14-16), because they, instead of worshipping God, were doing their business in the sacred precinct, thus contributing to its profanation.

85^th Meditation on God the Father

“Ephraim, how could I part with you? Israel, how could I give you up? How could I make you like Admah or treat you like Zeboiim? My heart recoils within me; my compassion grows warm and tender” (Hos 11:8).

If only we could know our Father’s heart better! Then the layer of ice around our heart would begin to melt, so that His love could penetrate it, transforming us and making us capable of loving like Him. Read More

84^th Meditation on God the Father

“I lead them with human ties, with leading-strings of love. With them, I was like someone lifting an infant to his cheek, and I bent down to feed him” (Hos 11:4).

The Father uses a thousand ways to show His love to mankind. In many forms he bends down to us, and this happens most clearly in the birth of the Son of God, who came to us as a man, so that we might understand how close God wants to be to us, how precious we are to Him…. Read More

83^rd Meditation on God the Father 

“I myself taught Ephraim to walk, I myself took them by the arm, but they did not know that I healed them” (Hos 11:3).

The Father and His chosen people… What a love story with so many facets! In yesterday’s verses we heard that the more God called them, the more the children of Israel turned away from Him and turned to idols. Read More

82^nd Meditation on God the Father

“When Israel was a child I loved him, and I called my son out of Egypt. But the more I called, the further they went away from me; they offered sacrifice to Baal and burnt incense to idols” (Hos 11:1-2).

This is the drama that our Father experiences so often. It runs through the whole of human history, and it is particularly painful when it is the people of Israel who are the protagonists. The verses that follow this passage from the Prophet Hosea show us how tenderly God calls His own and how He is always ready to forgive them. But it is with sorrow that He has to note that the more He calls them and shows them His love, the more His people turn away from Him and offend Him with their aberrations. Read More

81^st Meditation on God the Father

“How hard for me to grasp your thoughts,

how many, God, there are!

If I count them, they are more than the grains of sand;

if I come to an end, I am still with you” (Ps 139:17-18). Read More

80^th Meditation on God the Father

“I Myself am coming to bring the flame of the law of love so that, by this means, the enormous layer of ice that surrounds mankind can be melted and destroyed.” (Message of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio) Read More

79^th Meditation on God the Father

 

“You will never feel truly free nor truly happy until you recognize Me as your Father and submit to My yoke, to be true children of God, your Father” (Message of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

When we think we can achieve freedom and happiness outside of God’s holy commandments, we find ourselves in the greatest deception. It is Lucifer’s deception, which makes people believe that they can determine their life according to their own ideas and that everything will turn out well. The opposite is the case! Read More
