511st Meditation
Indeed, one would think that in all those parts of the world that have been blessed with the announcement of the Christian faith, as well as the regions marked by Judaism and those where there is knowledge of the Old Testament scriptures, God should be recognised as loving Father.
510th Meditation
“Time is in my hands, but with your zeal and love you can influence it” (Interior Word).
We can take this as an invitation from God that we can even collaborate in the history of salvation, because the times of His salvific action are not static and immovable.
509th Meditation
When we accept and internalise the love of our Heavenly Father, when God Himself dwells in us and His Holy Spirit transforms us, then we come to know our Father’s heart more and more. Very soon we will notice that He has an urgent desire to make His love known to all people.
508th Meditation
“Taste the sweetness of this health-giving water, and when you have felt all its delicious power in your souls satisfying all your needs, come and cast yourselves into the ocean of My charity, so as to live only in Me, to die to yourselves and to live eternally in Me” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

507th Meditation
“The Lord is (…) good in all his deeds” (Ps 114:13b); the Lord is the Good One par excellence.

On our way of following Christ, we have to deal with our weaknesses again and again.

505th Meditation
“It is a joy for me to speak with you. There are not many who will lend me an ear and with whom I can dialogue” (Interior Word).
Not seldom do we look for someone to talk to, someone who knows how to listen to us and who is interested in our concerns… How happy we are when we find such a person! This person can easily become our friend and confidant. This longing of ours is especially fulfilled when we turn to our Heavenly Father, who we can be sure understands us and always has time to listen to us. Then the Father becomes our friend and confidant. Read More

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love” (Jn 15:9).
The Lord Jesus shows us here the correct hierarchy of love. It comes from the Father and is offered to us in His Son: “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son” (Jn 3:16). Read More
“All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved”, Holy Scripture affirms (Rom 10:13).
Perhaps we do not always immediately understand that it is so easy to be saved… Indeed, we are also familiar with those other statements in Scripture about the narrow gate that leads to eternal life and the wide and spacious road that leads to destruction, and the Lord warns that “many take it” (Mt 7:13).

God’s love embraces all people, whom he wants to bring to the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim 2,4). We know the way he has chosen: it is His Son Jesus, who says of Himself: “I am the Way; I am Truth and Life. No one can come to the Father except through me” (Jn 1:6). Read More
