Truly Beloved


For the Son was truly beloved of the Father and was never lost, never not loved, never forgotten, never uncared for, despite the punishing agony of the Cross and the seeming abandonment. Jesus knew the Father loved Him and was with Him through it all, even when the suffering was so great that  he cried out to Him why had He forsaken him, such was the overwhelming desolation of the pain upon the cross. 
Yet He had lived a life of prayer and connectedness to the Father. 
Only One who has known such love and relationship, can give such love. 
Thus we can be certain that even when we suffer, even when we are in agony, we are beloved as He was beloved, for He wanted us to be with Him and He held us all on the cross as He was dying and willing us all to be with Him always: that was the gift of love given to Him by the Father.  That is the love felt in the Eucharist. 
The unbreakable bond of love.
