446th Meditation
“Blessed are those who dwell in thy house, ever singing thy praise!” (Ps 83:5).
The Father rejoices over every prodigal son who, leaving behind sin and confusion, returns to Him. All heaven rejoices (cf. Lk 15:7)!
But what about those who have always remained in the “Father’s house”, faithful to Him? The Psalm calls them “blessed”. They have chosen the better part. Read More
445th Meditation
“Restore us, O God of hosts; let thy face shine, that we may be saved!” (Ps 80:7).
It is the people of Israel who utter this prayer, imploring the Lord to change their destiny. They are in great distress because they have repeatedly turned away from God and been unfaithful to Him, and our Father has allowed them to feel the consequences: “Thou dost make us the scorn of our neighbors; and our enemies laugh among themselves” (v. 6).

444th Meditation
“Ask my Son to make you realise more and more how merciful and kind I am to you” (Message of the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
What could please our Lord more than to fulfil such a request? Indeed, the great desire of His Heart is that His beloved Father be known. That is why Jesus will hasten to answer this prayer. Read More
443rd Meditation
“There is a fine golden thread running through our lives. If we find this thread and follow it, our life becomes less exhausting and more fruitful. This ‘golden thread’ is the guidance of the Holy Spirit, which is quite fine and subtle. If we follow it, everything we do will be even more marked by the supernatural and, consequently, we will do it with more agility” (based on an “inner word”). Read More
442nd Meditation
“You are my friend and confidant” (Inner Word).
In the Message to Mother Eugenia Ravasio, the Father offers Himself to us as a friend and confidant, and makes us understand that this is how we will reach the fullness of love: when we have learned to love Him as He desires, “that is, not only as a Father, but as a friend and confidant”. Read More
441st Meditation
“Gentleness, combined with the clarity of the Spirit, is irresistible to those who seek the truth” (Interior Word).
These words reflect what God Himself is like, while inviting us to become like Him. It is the Holy Spirit who can lead us to adopt more and more the attitude of God. It is He who produces in us the fruits of the Spirit and forms us into the image of God. Let us think of the fruit of gentleness and the gift of understanding and wisdom, which resonate particularly in today’s sentence. Read More
440th Meditation
“How I rejoice to be among you, hour by hour, day by day!” (Inner Word).
Our Father’s declarations of love are innumerable and move the heart.
If we human beings were to interiorise these words, a wonderful horizon would open up in our lives. Indeed, how different it is to live with the certainty of being children loved and sought after by God than to believe, as is so often the case, that we have to beg for love in order to feel valued! No, it is not necessary to fight for this love, it is already there, always and forever. It is indestructible! Only we ourselves can move away from God’s love, but without our Father ceasing to love us, because “God is love” (1Jn 4:8b). Read More
439th Meditation
“Surrender to Me all that wants to overwhelm you; I am your Father” (Inner Word).
Is it not a great contradiction if, in spite of knowing our Saviour and experiencing the goodness of our Heavenly Father, we still seem to be down and depressed in life? Do we not know where to go with our faults? Are we unaware of how willing God is to forgive them if we sincerely repent? Read More
438th Meditation
“How great would be My joy to see parents teaching their children to address Me often by the name of Father, as indeed I am!” (Message of the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio). Read More
437th Meditation
“My children, I will not speak to you about the whole greatness of My infinite love, because you have only to open the holy books, to look at the crucifix, the tabernacle and the Blessed Sacrament, to realize the extent to which I have loved you!” ( Message of the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
