We have already pointed out in the preceding meditations that the fulfillment of the first commandment to love God with all one’s heart and with all one’s strength is the basis for all actions arising from love. The good that we do on the basis of our decision will only gains its full splendour when it is done, witnessed and thus also serves for its glorification in our union with God. Read More

Healing and deliverance

The father speaks to his children, Part 27

I myself come and bring to you the burning fire of the law of love, so that with his help, the immense layer of ice that holds humanity imprisoned may melt.

With the knowledge of the Lord and the experience of His love, our life in the depths of our being becomes less cramped. We come home more and more spiritually and emotionally, because our true home is the fellowship with God and His own. Read More

God’s will to redeem

The false image of God: one of the consequences of original sin.

In the Holy Scriptures and in the proclamation of the Church we encounter the concrete salvific will of God, who wants all people to be saved. We know where God’s will of salvation has led him: to death on the cross of the Lord, to redeem all people. Can there be a greater love?

No! Read More

Love of God and Mission

The father speaks to his children, Part 25

“The missionaries have spoken and still speak of God as far as they know Him, but I assure you, you do not know Me as I am.

If we understand mission, that is, the mission of the Risen One to preach the Gospel to all creatures (cf. Mt 28,19), as the seeking love of our Father for His children, then we come very close to the innermost heart of God. He has entrusted participation in this search for his children and thus opened a deep desire of his heart. Read More

Love to God and love to the neighbor

The father speaks to his children, Part 24

The cultivation and growth of love of God is so primary that we know of contemplative monasteries in the Holy Church which, in seclusion, serve God.

The great theme that runs through the Father’s message is the love of God in two ways. The love of the heavenly Father for us and our love for him.

This theme is particularly important today, even if in the Church it is not uncommon for a primacy of charity and the improvement of this world to come to the fore, and for the cultivation of love for God to be equated with it or even put on the back. There is a kind of change of perspective and man instead of God moves into the centre of attention. Read More

The right relationship with God

The father speaks to his children, Part 23

It is not enough for Me to have shown you My love; I also want to open up My Heart to you, whence a refreshing spring will issue and where all men will quench their thirst.

In the last meditation we reflected on the source and the ocean of love that the heavenly Father wants to open up for us.

The spring from which living water flows is considered a symbol of the knowledge of God. But we can never know God better than through love, which is his innermost being. “God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him” the Apostle John tells us in his letter (1. Jn 4,16). Read More

Preface:

To all those who follow us daily or occasionally with the meditations.

In the coming days until August 7, I will continue the reflections on the Father’s message that have accompanied us in 21 meditations during Lent until Palm Sunday. August 7th itself is for us – according to the will of our Heavenly Father – an internal celebration, which some other faithful have already included in their lives. The coming reflections are focused on the second part of the Father’s message and are intended to accompany this precious message. Read More

The self-deception, Part 4

The self-knowledge that comes from the Holy Spirit brings consolation, for it leads us to the Cross of Christ, which is the throne of grace where we attain forgiveness and mercy.

Fr. Sladek’s text on self-deception, which we read in these last three days, showed us how important it is to guard against spiritual blindness and to avoid any pretence in our imitation of Christ. Jesus warns us of this blindness by speaking of the log that we carry in our eye without realizing it (cf. Mt 7,5).

How can a self-deception arise and how can it be overcome? Read More

The self-deception, Part 3

The separation between the ‘head’ and the ‘heart’ is the particular temptation of intellectuals.

On this day, we will conclude the text of self-deception and spiritual blindness that we had been reading for the last few days. Afterwards, it will be necessary to mention some conclusions and recommendations about the causes that favor self-deception and how we can wake up from it. This is what we will focus on in tomorrow’s reflection. Read More

The self-deception, Part 2

We must not be afraid to recognize ourselves as we are. What should concern us is, that we may still live in some form of blindness.

As of yesterday, we are reflecting on an important spiritual theme, which should help us to wake up entirely to the truth, so that our following of Christ may be free of illusions and our witness may thus be more effective in the world. It is about “self-deception”…
