Part 1: The Call On January 6th I had dedicated a part of the meditation to St. Joan of Arc, because it was her birthday. Last year on 16 May we had celebrated the centenary of her canonisation. For us – who write these daily meditations – this was a great celebration, because we are

Meditation on the Father’s Message In 2020 I had planned to write a meditation on God the Father on the 7th of each month. If possible, I would like to continue this this year, because it is very enriching when we get to know the Holy Trinity both in its unity and in the different
