Thanks to God, the Divine Providence, who always takes time to instruct us and to help us in all our needs. We remain attentive to perceive the visits of God in our life at the end of the day, because in various situations the Lord manifests himself to ours and surprises us with His merciful love. Divine Providence comes to meet us, each moment in form of counsel, through the smile of a child, embrace, help, a critic in the form most unusual.

I perceived that God spoke to me and I felt visited by Him through one one of the exhortations of the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, to the youth of all all ages from zero to one-hundred twenty years. “Open your heart to God, allow him to surprise you through Christ. Give Him the right to speak to you during these days. Open the doors of your liberty to His merciful love. Present to Him your happiness and your struggles to Christ, allowing that He illuminates your mind with His light and to touch your heart with His Grace.”

We pray with faith: “It the Lord who comes in whom I hope.” (cf Psalm 62:5)

We ask today to the Lord the grace to be attentive to His visits in our life.

Jesus I trust in you!
