317th Meditation

It is the mystics who can vividly describe to us the love of God, often using ecstatic language, as sometimes happens on the human plane with lovers, who want to express their love.

These mystics are as if enraptured, because the overwhelming divine love has opened up the depths of their soul, pouring into them and overflowing as well. They can hardly contain it! Because of our earthly limitations, it is difficult to describe in words what the soul experiences. However, we can turn to the language of love. Read More

316th Meditation

“In your name they rejoice all day long, by your saving justice they are raised up. You are the flower of their strength, by your favour our strength is triumphant” (Ps 88:17-18).

The heart is filled with great joy when it comes to know our Father as He truly is. Read More

315th Meditation

“How blessed the nation that learns to acclaim you! They will live, O Lord, in the light of your presence. The Holy One of Israel is our king” (Ps 89:15,18).

Whoever acclaims the Lord and acknowledges Him as King, enters into the reality established and revealed by God, because the Lord is indeed a King. Moreover: He is the true King, in whom everything has its origin. Read More

314th Meditation

“As I desire most to be known by all of you, so that you can all enjoy, even here on earth, My goodness and My tenderness, make yourselves apostles to those who still do not know Me” (Father’s Message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio). Read More

313th Meditation

“Better one day in your courts than a thousand at my own devices” (Ps 84:10).

How much the psalmist understood what it means to be in the nearness of God! Indeed, isn’t that so? Even if it were only one day that we could spend close to our beloved Father, how incomparable it would be in relation to all the other days when we were not near Him! Read More

312th Meditation

“If only my people would listen to me, if only Israel would walk in my ways, I would feed him on pure wheat, would give you your fill of honey from the rock” (Ps 81:13.16).

This is what our Heavenly Father has in store for us: a life in abundance, a life in His loving presence, abundantly supplying the bodily and spiritual needs of His children and filling them with His overflowing and unceasing love. These are the intentions of our Father, which remain unchanging! With the eyes of faith we can recognise them and rejoice in the Father day by day. Read More

311st Meditation

 

“My people would not listen to me, Israel would have none of me. So I left them to their stubborn selves, to follow their own devices” (Ps 81:11-12).

These verses of the psalm describe the consequence of not listening to the voice of our Father. God makes us see that with our will we refuse to obey Him: “Israel would have none of me”. Read More

310th Meditation

“Listen, my people, while I give you warning; Israel, if only you would listen to me!” (Ps 81:8).

We know a little of the great suffering that results when we do not listen to the voice of the Lord, when we do not heed His warnings and directives, when we deviate from His commandments… When this happens, a person turns away from the guidance of the Lord and can even fall under the sway of influences hostile to God. Thus, life can become a disaster. Read More

309th Meditation

In the Message to Mother Eugenia, the Heavenly Father tells us, “You cannot see Me, apart from a single person, the one to whom I am dictating this message! Only one among all of humanity! Yet I am talking to you, and in her whom I see and to whom I am talking I see you all and am speaking to each and every one of you, and I love you as if you could see Me!” (Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).

308th Meditation

“Restore us, O Lord God of hosts! Let your face shine on us and we shall be safe” (Ps 80:19).

How often we are in need of our Father to lift us up and restore us, and how often He does it! Who is not heard when they turn to Him?

To restore us means to strip us of the heaviness: whether it is the heaviness of our faults, the burden of our many failures, the discouragement of not being as good as we would like to be, the weight of a troubled life, the burden of a difficult situation… Read More
