The Father Speaks to His Children is a series of Christian revelations by Mother Eugenia Elisabetta Ravasio. She was an Italian Roman Catholic nun, mystic and writer who claimed to hear divine voices.
I have read this book as part of Father Mark Goring’s School of Reading, it is the fourth book that I have read that he has highlighted as his book of the month. Father Mark sent out a PDF but I went looking to an eBook version. I did find them on Kindle and Kobo but upon reading the PDF discovered that there should not be. At the beginning of the book after the title page it states:
“4th print edition in english, July-13, 1995 1st digital pdf edition in english February-28, 2005
This edition serves as a manuscript. It is not sold and not commercially available. This book is distributed cost-free in order to circulate the message of the Father. Thus, nobody is authorized to charge amounts or donations for this work, which wants to exist only by trusting in the hope of this message. All those, who want to thank for it are invited to pray, especially for those people, who do not yet know the Father. Everyone can help voluntarily to distribute this message.”
You can find a PDF version online, if you search the author and title. This book has:
Imprimatur: + Petrus Canisius van Lierde, Vic. Generalis e Vic. Civitatis Vaticanae, Roma, die 13 Martii 1989
The chapters in this volume are:
Preface Short Biography of Mother Eugenia Elisabette Ravasio Testimony of the Right Reverend A. Caillot Conclusion The Father´s Message 1 The Father´s Message 2 (To the Pope) The Father´s Message 3 (To The Bishop) The Father´s Message 4 Prayer of Mother Eugenia Summary
This is a fascinating little read. It is only 35 pages in length from title page to a summary by P. Andrea D’Ascanio OFM. It is an easy volume to read and yet it contains a significant amount of important material. I worked my way through this over a few days and over several sittings. Pausing at the end of each message. Taking time to think, reflect and pray. The work concludes with these words:
““God is my Father!” This cry is being heard ever more frequently in today’s world: people are coming to recognize that God is indeed their Father.
Consequently, we feel it our duty to publish a message, given to the world by God the Father through one of His creatures who loved Him so much, Sister Eugenia Elisabetta Ravasio, and recognized as valid by the Church.
We consider it appropriate to introduce this work by quoting the testimony of a former Bishop of Grenoble, the Right Reverend Alexandre Caillot. In 1935 he set up a board of experts, drawn from various parts of France, to conduct a diocesan enquiry, which lasted ten years.
Its members included the Bishop of Grenoble’s Vicar General, Mgr Guerry, theologian; the Jesuit brothers, Fathers Albert and Auguste Valencin-Amons, who ranked among the foremost authorities in the field of philosophy and theology and were expert in evaluating such cases; and two doctors of medicine, one of whom was a psychiatrist.
We are sure that this message will help people to understand the deep tenderness the Father has for each one of us, and we hope that it will receive the widest possible circulation.””
This whole final section is missing from the digital version. The conclusion by Alexandre Caillot at the time of the revelation states:
“Following the dictates of my soul and my conscience, and with the keenest sense of my responsibility to the Church, I declare that supernatural and divine intervention seems to me the only logical and satisfactory explanation of the facts.
Isolated from all the surrounding features of the case, this essential fact seems to me to be noble, lofty and supernaturally rich: that a humble nun has called souls to true devotion to the Father, such as Jesus taught and the Church has enshrined in its liturgy. There is nothing alarming in this, only something that is very simple and in accordance with solid doctrine.
The miraculous facts which accompany this message could be separated from the main event and its value would still be preserved in its entirety. For doctrinal reasons, the Church will declare whether the idea of a special feast can be considered separately from this particular case involving the sister.
I believe that the fundamental proof of the authenticity of the nun’s mission is shown by the way in which she puts into practice in her life the beautiful doctrine which she was apparently destined to remind us of.
I deem it proper to let her continue her work. I believe that the hand of God is in all this. After ten years of research, reflection and prayer, I bless the Father for having deigned to choose my diocese as the place for such touching manifestations of His love.”
This booklet is an important message in this day and age. For generations raised without fathers, absentee fathers, or fathers focused on work and their own lives. We need the Father in heaven in our lives. For those in parishes with unfatherly priests …
There appears to be a few variations of this volume available. By different publishers and offered online from different sources. The edition father Mark made available was the 2005 first pdf edition. I have obtained 2 other versions and plan to read them as well. It is an excellent volume and a book I highly recommend!

Note: This is the third edition of this volume I have read.
Questo libro è uno dei più belli che abbia avuto il piacere di leggere, e mi fa amare ancora di più il padre. Mi ci sono voluti diversi giorni per leggerlo, non perché fosse complesso, ma perché volevo assimilare ogni parola detta dal padre nella mia anima, per essere riempita del suo amore. E oggi desidero ardentemente conoscerlo di più, amarlo di più. Un libro molto consigliato, soprattutto per le anime che si sentono orfane in questo mondo. Sappiate che qui, nella nostra chiesa cattolica, c'è un padre che vi ha creati, che vi ama veramente, e che vuole solo essere amato da tutti i suoi figli.
I also read this for Fr Mark's school of reading. How do you rate a revelation to a Catholic nun from God the Father? Per the reading God is, indeed, a kind and loving Father. One merely needs to spend time with him in prayer or simple conversation to understand. I found it interesting that these are directly from God, not Jesus or Mary , as it usually seems. I enjoyed the read and found it comforting.
This book is for all children of God. It is for catholic Christians. It is for our separated brothers and sisters. It is for Muslims who do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
Love God, your Father. Become Catholic. Go to Mass. Say the Our Father. Pray the Rosary. Receive the Eucharist after Baptism.
These Word from God the Father Himself, brings Him to life and deep into your heart. Life changing!!! The Promises are nothing less than Heaven itself GUARANTEED!
