“Do not put your trust in princes,

in any child of Adam, who has no power to save. (…)

How blessed is he who has Jacob’s God to help him,

his hope is in the Lord his God” (Ps 146:3,5). Read More

REMARK: When we put “Inner Word” as a reference, these are statements that Brother Elias perceived in prayer.

“Live in intimate friendship with me. This friendship will deepen more and more, until you are completely with me in eternity” (Inner Word).

Friendship with our Heavenly Father is one of the most beautiful experiences in life. Just as Jesus called His disciples “friends” (Jn 15:15) and treated them as such, so the Father invites us to live in close friendship with Him. The word “close” is meant to underline even more the intimacy of this relationship. Read More

The Lord tells us: “Store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor woodworm destroys them and thieves cannot break in and steal” (Mt 6:20).

We know what He means! Indeed, everything we do moved by true love becomes the most precious gold in the heavenly treasury. Read More

“In my Heart you are at home, always and forever. There you find everything, even in the thickest darkness.”

To feel at home is a deeply rooted longing in man. Home is the place where he can be as he is, where he does not feel threatened, where he knows he is loved, where he finds his place…. Read More

“When I look into my Heart, I cannot hold back my love. It always wants to pour itself out on men, to envelop them and to give itself to them”.

How does the fire of love burn in our Father’s Heart, wanting to give itself to us! Read More

“Trust in me without reserve” – I heard one day in prayer.

The love of our Father invites us to trust Him unreservedly. There is nothing that God does not know; He knows us better than we know ourselves, He knows our heart:

“Lord, you examine me and know me,

you know when I sit, when I rise,

you understand my thoughts from afar. Read More

In prayer, I heard one day these words: “Do not lose heart when evil seems to triumph. These are Pyrrhic victories, fictitious victories, after which comes defeat and the definitive separation between good and evil.”

When we notice how evil seems to triumph in the world and around us, the temptation is great that we become despondent, lose heart and thus indirectly give evil even more influence. But it should not be so! Read More

 

 

“Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name, you are mine.” (Isa 43:1)

The Apostle Paul exclaims: “Can anything cut us off from the love of Christ?” (Rom 8:35), and then assures us that absolutely nothing – “neither death nor life, (…) nothing already in existence and nothing still to come, nor any power, (…) nor any created thing whatever, will be able to come between us and the love of God, known to us in Christ Jesus our Lord” (v. 38-39).

All people must realise that they have a most loving Father. This is the objective reality on which their lives are founded. Only by internalising this truth can they awaken to the fullness of life (cf. Jn 10:10b).

It is the Heavenly Father who can heal all our wounds and make us discover the loving meaning of our existence by making Himself known to us. Herein lies man’s true happiness! Read More

When His hour had come, Jesus turns to the Father and commends His own to Him and assures Him: “[They] have indeed accepted it and know for certain that I came from you, and have believed that it was you who sent me” (Jn 17:8b). Read More
