Make a mental representation to be present in the Calvary of that evening, watching Jesus died on the cross so cruelly: naked, all body fallen, his face deformed by blows.
Asking for the grace to feel God’s love so much that God even gives us His beloved Son.
What love can compete to the Father’s love to His Son Jesus? God love Jesus to the extreme. By Jesus’ word, I recognize that the Father loves me so much. God loves me as He loves Jesus: “You loved them, even as You have loved Me” (Jn.17:23). “Them” are the apostles, and are those who believe in Jesus through the apostles’ witnesses (Jn.17: 20).
God the Father loves the world, concretely loves me that He gave His beloved Son to the world: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (Jn.3: 16). Why did God so love human beings that He gave His beloved Son to them when He knew the danger His Son must affront? Is God’s love to human beings, really to me? Does it show God loves human beings, including me?
In the last meal with His beloved disciples, “Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end” (Jn.13: 1).
Jesus loves me so much that He gave me His own life: “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends” (Jn.15:13). In fact, He died for me. He showed that in the Eucharistic symbol.
Jesus loves me as God the Father loves Him. He begs me love Him: “Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love” (Jn.15: 9). What does it mean if a boy ask a girl to love him? Jesus did the same to me.
You would give the most precious gift to those whom you love.
His beloved Son and the Holy Spirit are the most precious to God. However God the Father loves humankind and gives His beloved Son and the Holy Spirit to mankind (Jn.14: 16;15: 26).
Everyone would like to live beside those whom you love. Because the Holy Spirit loves human being He is with us forever, always beside us (Jn.14:16).
Moreover not only is the Holy Spirit with me, but God the Father and Jesus Christ is with us forever (Jn.14: 23). This shows that God the Trinity loves human beings extremely.
Colloquy
Let us ask God for the grace to feel God’s love to me; to experienced God’s love. We will be peaceful and happy all our life. Talk with God as needed.
