Dear
Friends,
I
am happy to turn to you every month a good word in the
name of Jesus. They are simple words but full of love
for you. I know that you listen gladly to them, and
that they go down in your heart as an early-morning
dew. Your souls are all beautiful ones, shining of
goodness and of divine light. You are a good ground,
and you welcome gladly the word of God and you do it
produce fruit.
His
word in fact, even if goes out of the heart of a
creature, is always sweet, and it is stronger than all
the doctrines of the philosophers and the wise of this
world.
God,
who taught the Prophets in the antiquity, talks today
still to the heart of every man that humbly puts
in listening. Jesus says in fact: “Here
I am at the door, and I knock: if someone listens to
my voice and the door opens me, I will come to him, I
will dine with him and he with Me. The winner I will
do him sit near Me, on my throne, as I have won and I
have sat down near my Father on His throne” (Ap
3, 20-21). “If
one loves me, he will observe my word, and my Father
will love him, and we will come to him and we will
take abode near him” (Gv 14, 23).
How
beautiful it is to possess God, and to love Him gladly!
With Him everything succeeds easier in the life, and
every thing is less painful even if bathed by bitter
tears. With God doesn't exist sadness, anguish, and
there won't be never above all of us the desperation,
but only comfort and hope of a future Heaven. Jesus,
that lives in our souls, feels the pulsations of our
heart, he sees all the good feelings, our anxieties,
worries and pains. He picks up all and hides it in His
Most Holy Heart. This comforts us and encourages us to
continue our life of sacrifice, of renouncement, of
goodness, of donation, and of trust that the things
will change in a best future.
If
we possess God we don't have to fear what could happen
in the life, because anything happens, good or bad, it
is already foreseen by Him for our own good. Let’s
have therefore faith in Him, because He will never
abandon us. Even if all abandoned us, He will be
always close to us to listen to our moans and our
request. He is near above all to those who suffer,
because in them He sees Himself crucified.
It
is said in the Sacred Writing: even if I were in a
dark valley I won’t have to fear some evil, because
God is with me, and He gives me safety and serenity.
This the Saints have understood, and they have
treasured every word of God. With sum determination
they have always looked for it, and after having found
they have not separated anymore from Him. This may be
for us motive of incitement to the good every day more
and more.
Unfortunately
in the world many are more prepared and fervent in
following what brings to the perdition, rather than in
looking for what assures the eternal happiness. For a
futile profit they make enormous sacrifices, but to
purchase the Heaven they don't even move a footstep.
They are deaf, mute and hard of heart, and they reject
the voice of God. They listen more gladly to the world
and its noises, and they follow more easily the
appetites and the desires of the flash rather than
God's law. They don't understand that the world
promises and offers vain things that last shortly.
They become crazy racing behind to a Singer, to famous
Men, and they close their eyes, ears and heart instead
when they feel that God calls them to the eternal
realities.
We
are Instead, His favorite friends, sensitive to His
Love. Let's turn him therefore this humble prayer: “Lord
my God, You are all my good. Remember me that I am
void, and nothing I possess. Only you are good,
correct and holy. Everything you can and everything
comes from You. Remember me in Your mercy, and fill my
heart with Your Grace. Do never dissuade Your look
from me, and don’t delay with Your visit, so that my
soul may not become an arid earth and without life.
Lord, teach me to love you, and to always complete
Your Holy Will. You know all about me, and you know me
in the intimate of my heart. Don't allow that I
separate me from You, but do that, finished this
earthly run, I can come among Your arms to enjoy
forever the endless joy. Amen.”
With
the best wishes of holiness, I bless you and regard of
heart, while I am assuring you all my daily prayer in
front of Most Holy Jesus and during the Holy Mass.
Your
faithfully
Padre
