“God Is My Father” (Mother Eugenia Ravasio)

My Father in Heaven, how sweet and healing it is for me to know: You are my Father, and I am Your child.

Above all when it is dark in my soul and my cross grows heavy, I feel the need to tell You again and again: “Father, I believe in Your love for me.”

Yes, I believe that at every moment of my life You are Father and that I am Your child. (…)

I believe! But strengthen in me faith, hope and love. Teach me to see Your love as my guide in all the events of my life. Teach me to abandon myself entirely to You, like a child in its mother’s arms. Father, You know everything, and You see everything. You know me better than I know myself. You can do all things, and You love me.

My Father, because You want us to come to You with trust, I come to ask You, together with Jesus and Mary … United with their Most Sacred Hearts, I offer You for this intention all my prayers, sacrifices and renunciations, all my actions and greater fidelity in the fulfillment of my duties. Grant me the light, the strength and the grace of the Holy Spirit. Strengthen me in this Spirit, so that I may never lose Him, nor grieve Him, nor weaken Him in me. (…)

Divine Father, loving hope of our souls, may You be known, honored and loved by all people.

Divine Father, infinite goodness poured out upon all nations, may You be known, honored and loved by all people.

Divine Father, life-giving dew of humanity, may You be known, honored and loved by all people. Amen.

If this prayer is prayed as a novena, the following should be added: “I promise You to be more generous, especially during these nine days, on a particular occasion … or toward a particular person ….”

Imprimatur: Jean Cardinal Verdier, Archbishop of Paris, May 8, 1936. The Father grants many graces through the intercession of Mother Eugenia by the prayer God Is My Father, which He Himself gave to her, especially for families, in any need of families.

God is my Father

Mother Eugenia said that even the title of the prayer God Is My Father is a complete prayer. She recommended that we repeat often during the day: God is my Father, for she stressed that the Father is very pleased and delighted with His child who lovingly calls Him My Father.
