In order that you may know at least some of My pain, imagine the most tender of mothers who has great love for her children, while those children spurn her love. Consider her pain. No one is in a position to console her. This is but a feeble image and likeness of My love. – Jesus (Divine Mercy in My Soul, 1447)
God’s love can also be likened to a mother’s love, a mother that cares deeply for her children and would do everything in her power to protect them.
It is a love that is willing to give all and to sacrifice all for the sake of her children. It is a love that will never give up no matter what the cost.
Who can truly understand the depths of a mother’s love who bore her child in her own womb? Who can feel her anguish when her child is lost and away from her love? To a mother, the most painful suffering is not her own but of her child’s, and the greatest disappointment is whenever any of her children refuses to receive her love.
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem… How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not! – Matthew 23, WEB
