Can you imagine yourself being the creator of your own world: You have given freedom to the creatures you have created and they have turned away from you; instead of giving up on them and recreating a more perfect species, you forgive them and determine to redeem them from their sins and rescue them from their foes? Unbelievable thought, isn't it?
This unbelievable situation is in fact infinitely more intense as our God is both a righteous and merciful God. Our fallen nature and these two natures of God cornered our God into an extremely difficult situation, to choose between us and Himself. And He has chosen us!
God the Father does not demand us to make up for our own sins. He knows by our own effort, we could never do that. So, right at the beginning of time after the Fall of Adam and Eve, He has willed to send His Son into the world through a woman. This… is the Father's Love.
Jesus fills in all the missing gaps that God the Father requires of us. Between the high bar of God the Father, and low bar of humankind, lies Jesus the bridge in between. Not only has Jesus died on the cross to pay the price of our sins, but also fills the gap and void that exists between us and the Father. Jesus is the perfect mediator between heaven and earth. And Jesus is also our advocate! And that love originates from the Father.
But God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
If God the Father loves us so much, why wouldn't He love His only begotten Son more? We know parents love their children even more than they love themselves! So there is no need to speculate that God the Father does not love His Son and so sent Jesus to die for us. God the Son knows how much His Father loves Him but He also knows that His Father loves us also and treats us as His own children. So, God the Son, who loves His Father most, returns His love by willingly lowering Himself to become a slave, to die a shameful death for us on the cross, to pay the huge price of our sins, and to fill the huge void between God the Father and us!
God the Father and God the Son are the same God. So, the Father's merciful love is in the Son, and the Son's Passion is also in the Father. There is only one God, inseparable. This is who God is! God the Father and God the Son invested every ounce of their love in each one of us. That is what it means by ALL IN, this bottomless love of God for us, His creatures.
Unimaginable? Yes, it is! Even if we can't comprehend or accept this fact, it is what it is! We can't deny it!
And this unbelievable big Brother of ours, Jesus, goes further to intercede and pledge for us in front of His Father. Not only can we see that from His prayer to His Father before His Passion (John 17), He loved and cared for all those around Him every step of the way to Calvary! Can we imagine being our advocate and for those who were His enemies at the time when the heavy sins of all humankind, from beginning to the end of time, crushing on Him… alone… physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually? On someone who knows no sins! This was against His human nature not to lay blame on others or even to curse, let alone care for those He loved, forgive those who killed Him, and advocate for them! This…is the Love of the Son!
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)
Imagine the excruciating pain inflicted on the Hearts of the Father and the Son bearing the suffering of each other when Jesus was dying on the Cross! And it's during this intense moment, the total darkness seemed to overshadow our Lord Jesus, when He felt the abandonment of God the Father! This… is the climax of the Greatest Love Story!
And about three o’clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46)
This… is the total outpouring of His Love on the Cross, both from the Son, and from the Father! This is the price that God the Father and God the Son have paid for you, and for me!
耶穌是天人之間的完美中保。 耶穌是我們的護衛者！ 而這份愛是源於天父。
「但是，基督在我們還是罪人的時候，就為我們死了，這證明了天主怎樣愛我們。」(羅馬人書5:8)
我深深體會到：天主父和耶穌，這份毫無保留地傾流的愛！ 這使我五體投地！我要如何還愛呢？請教我，並賜我回愛的機會和能力。

天主我感謝你無盡，無比的大愛。我不容許罪惡和驕傲把你和我的愛隔绝。我明白到自己的軟弱，我會以你的教導做我生活中心，棄絕罪惡，實踐你的旨意。求聖神的帶領 使我以心神祈禱，以全心全靈全力全意去愛慕, 敬拜和跟隨你。求聖神賜力量和恩寵繼續行聖徳的道路。亞孟。
聖父感受到聖子在精神和肉體上的痛苦，而聖子也承受聖父因救贖人類而犧牲自己獨生子的煎熬，祂們為我們毫無保留所傾出的大愛，對我來說沒有甚麼可以使我與聖父、聖子的愛相隔絕。
慈悲的救主??我渴慕祢的聖言啓導我行苦路中的愛德。?
聖周五我們重新經歷天父看到耶穌用人的身份勇敢地為罪人的救贖奉獻祂的性命的過程。苦難的基督熱愛我們，但卻被我們離棄、欺辱、鞭撻、刺傷、最後在十字架上傾盡祂的寶血。善良無辜的耶穌在深愛祂的母親前受眾人的唾棄，母子內心所受的創傷和痛楚，會是多麽難受！
看到走在苦路痛不欲生的主，被釘在十字架血流滿面但還用憐惜的眼神望著著我安慰著我的主，此時我還忍心在基督身上加一鞭、踢一腳、打上一口釘嗎？不會，不會。但真的不會？事實上，我和你，你和他及所有的人，仍天天傷害著我們的主。背棄他跟隨魔鬼的人少嗎？樂於走在黑暗中，在罪惡世界群舞高呼的人一望無盡頭啊！
我選擇跟誰走？我站在哪個群體中？
上主，請讓我穩守在基督的十字架下，陪著祂，伴著聖母，仰望著將戰勝罪惡、戰勝魔鬼、戰勝死亡的基督。唯有祂會領我走向永生，唯有祂為我們罪人贖回進入天國得享重生的希望。上主，復活我的生命，讓我為祢作見證罷！
仁慈的天父，今日已經聽心田的農夫39天，願主與我們永遠在一起。我會全心，全靈，全意，全力，全愛祢。感謝天主
主耶穌，感謝祢的愛，求祢給我常常意識祢的愛，專注於祢。主，可憐我這個罪人吧！
那份源於父與子對我們的大愛，一直推動著祂們去為我們付出一切！
我們還有什麼理由可以使我們與天主的愛相隔絕兄呢！
我生命旅途中多次困境都安然渡過, 是天主對我無盡的愛……..我到了晚年才醒悟……我會努力, 全心、全靈、全力、全意地去回應及回報!
主耶穌，全因有祢的愛，我才能有不一樣的人生，耶穌我愛祢，此生不变。
我真的体会到天主对我的無盡的愛，我决定不容許自己犯罪把我与天主的隔绝。
我欶弱，但我願意，我深信天主会幚我。
親愛的天父：祢藉著新舊約聖經的啓示，教會二千多年来的見證，展示了祢無限的愛。祢從來沒有放棄得罪過祢的子民，今天派遣了祢至愛的子耶穌為救贖我們的罪被釘死在十字架上，又派遣聖神改造我們。天父，對於祢的愛，我很多時仍存有疑惑軟弱。求祢賜我更多的思寵，為祢的愛作見證。
仁慈和唯一的天主聖父，聖子及聖神，我真的猜不透為何祢們對世人(罪人)的慈愛是何等高深長闊；但我對祢們的愛的回應卻是何等的少！
天主聖三，請寬恕我，請不斷加深我對祢的愛的渴求，不容許自己的罪過和驕傲把我與祢的愛隔絕；請幫助我努力實踐福音的精神和勇敢傳播主耶穌基督的聖死、復活和升天的喜訊與真理！
願光榮歸於父、及子、及聖神，起初如何，今日亦然，直到永遠，亞孟。
主, 藉着袮的仁慈, 照顧和引领下, 使我能走在祢為我安排的道路上, 遠離誘惑和危險, 賜我平安和喜樂.因主耶穌基督之名, 求主附聽我們的禱告.
I truly appreciate God’s bottomless love for me. I didn’t allow my sins and my pride to separate me from the love of God through the attending and prays and good counselling of good priests and praying my rosary and Precious Blood Devotions etc.
