(Continuation of God the Father's Words to M. Eugenia Ravasio (Church aproved) in Father Speaks to His Children" booklet ( around pg 16 )..."And You, My children, who have lost the faith and live in the darkness, raise your eyes, you will see shining rays coming to illuminate you. I am the sun that shines, warms and rewarms. Look and recognize that I am your Creator, your Father, your one and only God. It is because I love you that I come to make you love Me, so that you may all be saved.
I am speaking to all men, the world over, making this appeal of My fatherly love ring out, this infinite love that I want you to know is a permanent reality. Love, love, love always, but also show others how to love the Father, so that from today on I will be able to show you all the Father Who loves you so passionately. And you, My beloved sons, priests and monks, I exhort you to make known this fatherly love that I have for men, and for you in particular. You must work so that My will may be accomplished in all men and in you. It is that I should be known, honoured and loved. Do not leave My love inactive for a long time, because I am thirsty in My desire to be loved! This century is privileged above all others. Do not let this privilege pass, for fear that it might be withdrawn! Souls need a certain divine touch, and time presses; do not be afraid of anything, I'm your Father; I will help you in your efforts and your work. I will sustain you always and make you enjoy, already here below, peace and joy of soul, making your ministry and your zealous works bear fruit. This is an inestimable gift, since the soul which is peaceful and joyful already has a foretaste of heaven while awaiting its eternal reward. I communicated to My Vicar, the Supreme Pontiff, My Representative on earth, a very special predilection for the missionary apostolate in distant countries and, most of all, a great zeal to spread throughout the world the devotion to the Sacred Heart of My Son Jesus. Now I am entrusting him with the work that this same Jesus came on earth to accomplish: to glorify Me by making Me known as I am, just as I am telling all men, My creatures and children. If men could penetrate the Heart of Jesus in all Its desires and Its glory, they would realize that Its most ardent desire is to glorify the Father, the One Who sent Him, and most of all, not to let His glory be diminished as it has been until now. He desires the complete glory that men can and must give Me, as their Father and Maker, and still more as the Author of their Redemption! I am asking of man what he is able to give Me: his confidence, his love and his gratitude. It is not because I need My creature and his adoration that I desire to be known, honoured and loved; the only reason why I am stooping down to him is to save him and give him a share in My glory. Further, in My goodness and My love I realize that the beings I have drawn from nothing and adopted as My true children are falling in great numbers into eternal unhappiness with the devils. They are thus failing to fulfill the purpose of their creation and are losing their time and their eternity! If there is something that I desire, above all now, it is simply to see more fervour on the part of the just, a smooth path for the conversion of sinners, sincere and persevering conversion and the return of the prodigal sons to their Father's house. I am referring in particular to the Jews and to all others who are My creatures and children, such as the schismatics, the heretics, the freemasons, the poor infidels, the sacrilegious, and the various secret sects. I want this whole world to know that there is a God and a Creator. This God, Who will address their ignorance twice over, is unknown to them; they do not know that I am their Father. Believe Me, you who are listening to Me as you read these words: if all men who are far from our Catholic Church heard people talking about this Father Who loves them, Who is their Creator and their God, about this Father Who desires to give them eternal life, then many of these men, even the most obstinate ones, would come to this Father of Whom you had spoken to them. If you cannot go to them and talk to them directly, look for other means: thousands of direct and indirect ways. Put them into effect with the true spirit of disciples and with great fervour. I promise you that your efforts will soon be crowned with success by a special grace. Make yourselves apostles of My fatherly goodness and, because of the zeal I will give you all, you will be strong and powerful in your work among souls. I will always be close to you and in you:" if there are two of you talking, I will be with you; if there are more, I will be among you; thus you will say what I inspire you to say and I will put your listeners in the right frame of mind to hear you. In this way, men will be conquered by love and saved for all eternity. With regard to the means of honouring Me as I desire, all I ask of you is great confidence. Do not think I want austerities or mortification; I do not want you to walk barefoot or to lay your faces in the dust, or to cover yourselves with ashes. No, no! My dearest wish is that you behave as My children, simply and trusting in Me! With you I will become everything for everyone, the most tender and loving Father. I will be on intimate terms with you, giving Myself to you all, making Myself small so as to make you great for eternity. Most of the unbelievers, the impious and various communities remain in their iniquity and unbelief because they think that I am asking the impossible of them, that they have to submit to My commands like slaves of a tyrannical lord, whose power and pride keep him distant from his subjects, to oblige them to show Him respect and devotion. No, no, My children! I know how to make Myself small, far smaller than you can imagine. However, what I do require is the faithful observance of the commandments I gave the Church, so that you will be rational creatures and will not be like animals because of your lack of discipline and your evil inclinations, so that you will preserve the treasure which is the soul I gave you, clothed in the fullness of its divine beauty! Then, according to My desire, do what I have already instructed you to do: honour Me with a special devotion. May this make you know My will to give you many benefits and to let you share in large measure in My power and My glory, simply in order to make you happy and save you, and to show My sole desire: to love you and be loved in return by you.".... Padrito’s reflection It seems to me that in this months excerpt, He is saying that establishing devotion to the Sacred Heart was a necessary precursor to establishing devotion to the God the Father. He says that this is Jesus' most ardent desire, "to glorify the Father". In fact, who do we think we are offering the Holy Mass to? We offer the saving act of Jesus to the Father. Jesus’ act of salvation and redemption is an act of re-establishing the relationship of Father to His children, which was His mission, and why He so desired to accomplish it, willing to endure everything that he did. Sacrifice and oblation you want not, but a body you have prepared for me, ...then I said, I have come to do your will. If this was Jesus’ mission, it is now time for it to now become the mission of the Church. We have spent 2000 thousand years trying to spread the good news of God the Father sending His Son to save us, but mostly without the ... so that we may be reconciled to the Father emphasis. This story has been told, albeit for the most part badly, and is now so distorted that it is almost unrecognizable. On top of that there is now all the effects of trauma and abuse which people filter what they hear through, which distorts it even more. And with all of the persecution which strikes so much fear in people who want more in their lives --but are tired of the struggle, and which also reminds them of their abuses; it becomes so clear that it takes an act of God to draw a soul nearer to Himself, much less draw all men to Him en masse. Father emphasizes here (particularly to those in authority) to firstly, spread devotion to the true nature of His Person as God our Father as He is now revealing Himself to us (He had been mostly not known up to that point or not known correctly) including an annual Feast Day (*under the title of God the Father of All Mankind). It is necessary to note here that these Words from God the Father to us through M. Eugenia occurred in the early 1930s, almost 100 years later, were nearly entirely lost up until the end of this last century through the efforts of one Priest (Fr. Andrea D'Ascanio) who published them for global distribution. We are blessed now to have God the Father's efforts renewed to establish a Holy Octave of Consecration along with the Feast Day as He elaborated on in dialogue with Barbara Rose Centilli " Seeing with the Eyes of the Soul"). And so it is better understood that to do so most effectively, one ought to first consecrate oneself and live that consecration to obtain more consecratees and to obtain the Feast Day. Secondly, speak of Him with confidence. And tell people that He does not desire sacrifices and mortifications but to simply behave as His children, trusting Him. Father goes on to say something within this excerpt above for our reflection this month, that will certainly be scandalous to the Pharisees of today, that even many of the most hardened hearts, if they were to hear of Father being spoken of as He has described Himself with simplicity, confidence and trust; that those who speak of Him will be given special graces to reach these souls where they otherwise would not be able to. Souls that He describes as freemasons, schismatics, heretics, infidels, sacrilegious, and secret sects. It takes an act of God to reach souls these days, and He is giving extra graces for it to those who are willing to honor this desire of His. It is time for the Church to take up Jesus' own mission to bring all of God's children back to God our Father. And the Consecration and Feast Day of the Father of all Mankind is the means that the Father Himself has chosen to bring this about. This being true, it is therefore also true that there is no greater means to achieve that very end of bringing all souls to the Father than the very devotion that He Himself established for this very purpose. Where shall He find such souls? Souls who are willing to give everything to Him, willing to place all at His disposal, willing to believe His words above the words of the world, above the voices which instead repeat the world's words which sadly, may even be heard from the pulpit and the pews, wearing mitres and stoles with a slew of of meaningless letters behind their names. Truth stands on its own merit and none of these titles can add merit to what is known in the mind of God to be true. No truth becomes more true because of who said it, it is true by its very nature of being the truth, since truth is the very person of God, "I am the truth." And the Truth Himself said, "he who is of the truth, hears My voice" and "My sheep hear My Voice, I know them and they follow Me." Be seekers of truth. Seekers of truth, recognize your God in the words of your Father. Recognize a true father in the words of your God. Do you want a father who is also God? Here He is. Do you want love to be your father? Do you want to be able to trust again? Do you want to feel loved for who you are? Are you seeking forgiveness, redemption? Do you want to be known for who you were made to be, who you can become, and not by all of your mistakes and failures? Do you want to eat of the fruit of the Tree of Life instead of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? Do you feel like you were made for more than what the world has to offer. Do you want to be a part of restoring mankind to the Kingdom of the Father? Consecrate yourself to Him. Get to know Him through His own Self revelation and prayer. Learn to know, love and honor Him as He desires. And offer yourself that others may come to this as well. For He says that when all of His children call out to Him via the Consecration and Feast Day, that he Himself will come. Pax Et Bonum *"honour Me with a special devotion' God the Father had previously identified this in earlier pages as a Feast Day celebrated in the Church under the title of Father of All Mankind. This month's excerpt is a continuation of Father self revealing His true nature as God our Father, the 1st Person of the Holy Trinity. The Format for a Feast Day as well as Consecration to Him under this title formally in the Church as He requested was fulfilled only recently, into a liturgical format for public (as well as private daily renewal) celebration and can be obtained here: God Our Father: Consecration and Feast Day for the Father of All Mankind |
