289th Meditation

“Whatever good others do, prompted by us, will increase the splendour of our glory in heaven” (St. John Bosco).

This phrase fits very well into our daily reflections on God the Father, and we can place it in context with the Father’s Message, in which He asks us to pass on to people a deeper knowledge of God. How much will the splendour of our glory increase if others, prompted by us, begin to turn again to the Father and praise Him! Read More

288th Meditation

“Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will gather me up” (Ps 26:10).

“I have trusted in the Lord without wavering” (Ps 26:1b).

286th Meditation

“Let me always find you on watch, so that I may count on you at all times” (Inner Word).

What an extensive invitation from our Father! Not only does He constantly surround us with His fatherly love and thus give us an eternal home, but He also wants to count on us. The friendship He offers us should not be one-sided, so that it is not only we who can entrust our Father with what is most intimate to us, but that He can also count on us and include us in His plans of salvation.

284th Meditation

“I come from God, My Father; to Him I return; to Him alone I belong” (Father’s Message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

Let us dwell today on the last part of this sentence of Father’s Message: “To Him alone I belong”.

The Father has given us this certainty, and we must repeat it again and again: “It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture” (Ps 99:3). Read More

283rd Meditation

“I come from God, My Father; to Him I return; to Him alone I belong” (Father’s message to Sr Eugenia Ravasio).

With what simplicity the Father reveals to us our deepest identity, making us discover at the same time the meaning of our existence, which consists in knowing, honouring and loving this our Father. Read More

282nd Meditation

“Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God” (Ps 42:11).

In the Gospel the Lord tells us: “In the world you will have hardship, but be courageous: I have conquered the world” (Jn 16:33). Read More

281st Meditation

“Your life and your mission are precious to me” (Inner Word).

Every human life has been created by God, and He has given it a task to fulfil. Indeed, each life has to proclaim the One from whose hands it came and to be inserted into the plan of salvation of His love. Read More
