“How great would be My joy to see fathers teaching their children to call Me ‘Father’ frequently, for that is what I truly am!” (Message of God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
Are we looking for a way to bring future generations back to the faith? In today’s message, our Father shows us a way: we must familiarize children from a young age with the name of the Heavenly Father. It will penetrate them deeply, and its frequent invocation will lead them to trust not only in their biological fathers, but even more in the One who is also the Father of their fathers. Thus, children will develop trust in the Heavenly Father from a young age, providing a solid foundation for their life’s journey. Even if they later turn away from the faith, a solid foundation will have been established, and one day they will remember, like in the parable of the prodigal son, who, in his time of need, thought of his father and returned to him.
According to His own words, our Father desires “to establish Himself in every family as in His domain, so that all may say with certainty, ‘We have a Father who is infinitely good.'”
Our Father longs for children to be close to Him, just as Jesus said: “Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs” (Mt 19:14). Therefore, He asks parents to make Him known to their children. He also recommends that an image of Him, which He made known to Mother Eugenie, be placed in every home so that everyone can see it and so that every family can place itself under His protection.[1]
What our Father expresses here in relation to children and families also applies to all of us. God wants us to be close to Him and share all our needs, labors, sorrows, sufferings, desires, and joys with Him. This makes Him happy because it deepens our intimate and trusting relationship with our Heavenly Father.
