1 Pet 1, 3-9

It is reserved in heaven for you who are being kept safe by God’s power through faith until the salvation which has been prepared is revealed at the final point of time. Read More

They were astonished at the fearlessness shown by Peter and John, considering that they were uneducated laymen; and they recognised them as associates of Jesus; but when they saw the man who had been cured standing by their side, they could find no answer.

While they were still talking to the people the priests came up to them, accompanied by the captain of the Temple and the Sadducees.

In the Holy Week we change a little the previous rhythm. Scripture interpretations will be more meditative and somewhat shorter.

The father speaks to his children, Part 17
Father’s words taken from the Message to Mother Eugenia Ravasio:
“Oh, how I would like to make known to you that I am for you an Almighty Father, and how much I would like to be so also for those to whom I want to show my benefits! I would like them to lead a sweeter life with my Law. I would like you to go to them in my Name and speak to them of me. Yes, tell them that they have a Father who, after having created them, wants to give them the treasures He possesses. Above all, tell them that I think of them, that I love them and I want to give them eternal happiness. Oh! I promise you: men will convert more quickly. Read More
