424th Meditation
“I will once more cast the net of my love. Cast the net with me!” (Inner Word).
Are we ready to cooperate in the Lord’s great catch of fish? Do we still have hope that many people will find faith, precisely in these dark times that loom over humanity? Read More
423rd Meditation
“Entrust everything to me and be completely without worry” (Inner Word).
Trust and carelessness go hand in hand when the relationship with our Heavenly Father becomes deeper and deeper. Many things want to weigh us down and worry us, making life difficult for us. But the Lord Himself exhorts us to a holy unconcern: “Be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on” (Mt 6:25). Read More
Hope is a theological virtue, which makes us expect from the Lord what we do not yet see. If we place our hope in Him, the Father can transform our hearts. This is what He tells us in the Message to Mother Eugenia:
“Remember, o men, that I wish to be the hope of humanity. Am I not already? Man would be lost if I were not his hope. But it is necessary for Me to be recognized as such, so that peace, confidence and love may enter men’s hearts and put them in contact with their Father in heaven and on earth!” Read More
421st Meditation
“Lift up your eyes with me to the Father from the cross of this world, which causes so much suffering” (Interior Word).
Whoever has eyes to see and ears to hear will certainly perceive that dark times are coming upon the world as well as upon the Church. Because of the loss of faith and the lack of clear orientation on the part of the Church, fewer and fewer rays of light are shining on the world, which so urgently needs the light of the Church. Sin and confusion proliferate. It often happens that sin is no longer called by its name and even a diabolical inversion of values can occur. Read More
420th Meditation
“I make Myself little with the little ones, I make Myself an adult with adults, and the same with the elderly, so that all may comprehend what I wish to tell them for their sanctification and My glory” (Father’s Message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio). Read More
419th Meditation
“I know your needs, your desires, and everything in your hearts. But how happy and grateful I would be if I saw you coming to Me and confiding in Me your needs, like a son who has total trust in his father. How could I refuse you the smallest or biggest thing if you asked Me?” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio). Read More
418th Meditation
“When I realized that neither the patriarchs nor the prophets had been able to make Me known and loved by men, I decided to come Myself” (Message of the Father to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).
A deep sorrow and, at the same time, an immense gratitude can invade our heart when we hear these words. A deep sorrow because it is so difficult for us people to understand the language of God. Not even the presence of the patriarchs and the message of the prophets could sufficiently touch hearts. In fact, we know what was the fate of the prophets. The pain intensifies even more when we consider what mankind did to the Son of God Himself. Read More
417th Meditation
“Remember that you are not alone: a Father thinks of you and offers you a share in the unfathomable privileges of His love” (Father’s message to Sr. Eugenia Ravasio).
Our Father exhorts all people to think of Him. These words of His remind us of the exhortation that St. Benedict addressed to His monks, calling them to do everything in the presence of God. Read More
416th Meditation
“When I contemplate with open eyes what You, my God, have created, I already possess heaven here” (St. Hildegard of Bingen).
We need eyes that see and ears that hear (Mt 13:16). Once these are opened, we begin to contemplate the glory of God. We discover everywhere the Father’s love in action, either to make His love known to us directly, or to fill us in superabundance with His beauty, or to heal the sick, remove evil from us and impel us to do all the infinite good that the infinitely Good One willed that we should do. Read More
415th Meditation
“Let my speech be acceptable to him: but I will take delight in the Lord” (Ps 103:34).
Vigilance in speaking is very pleasing to the Lord. In fact, He Himself exhorts us to clarity and unambiguity in our speech: “Let your speech be ‘Yes, yes’; ‘no, no’. That which is over and above these, is of evil” (Mt 5:37). The words that come from our lips must be like crystal-clear, unclouded water, flowing from a purified heart and rejoicing God and people.
