Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.He said to them, When you pray, say:

Our Father, who art in Heaven,

hallowed by Thy name,Thy kingdom come;

Thy will be done on earth

as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread;

and forgive us our trespasses

who trespass against us;

God's Love in Giving Us His Sonby St. Alphonsus de Liguori

God so loved the world, that He gave His only-

begotten Son. (1) God, says Jesus Christ, has lovedthe world to that degree that He has given it Hisown and only Son. In this gift there are three thingsdemanding our consideration: Who is the giver,what is the thing given, and the greatness of thelove wherewith He gives it? We are already awarethat the more exalted the donor is, the more to be

prized is the gift. One who receives a flower from amonarch will set a higher value on that flower thanon a large amount of money. How much ought we

not, then, to prize this gift, coming to us, as it does,from the hands of one who is God! And what is itthat He has given us? His own Son. The love of this

God did not content itself with having given us so many good things onthis earth, until it had reached the point of giving us His whole self in the

person of the Incarnate Word: "He gave us not a servant, not an Angel,but His own Son,"(2) says St. John Chrysostom. Wherefore HolyChurch exultingly exclaims, "O wondrous condescension of Thy mercy

in our regard! O unappreciable love of charity! That Thou mightestredeem a slave, Thou deliveredst up Thy Son."(3)

O infinite God, how couldst Thou condescend to exercise towards us sowondrous a compassion! Who shall ever be able to understand an excessso great as that, in order to ransom the slave, Thou were willing to giveus Thine only Son? Ah, my kindest Lord, since Thou hast given me the

best that Thou hast, it is but just that I should give Thee the most that Ican. Thou desirest of me my love: of Thee I desire nothing else, but onlyThy love. Behold this miserable heart of mine; I consecrate it wholly toThy love. Depart from my heart, all ye creatures; give room to my God,who deserves and desires to possess it wholly, and without companions.I love Thee, O God of love; I love Thee above everything: and I desireto love Thee alone, my Creator, my treasure, my all.

of your iniquities:For the wickedness of My people have I smitten Him.(13) Behold how I have condemned Him to die upon this cross, afflicted,and abandoned even by Myself, Who love Him so much. This have Idone in order that you may love Me.

O infinite goodness! O infinite mercy! O infinite love! O God of my

soul! since Thou didst will that the object most dear to Thy heart shoulddie for me, I offer to Thee in my own behalf that great sacrifice ofHimself which this Thy Son made Thee; and for the sake of His merits I

pray Thee to give me the pardon of my sins, Thy love, and Thy paradise.Great as are these graces which I ask of Thee, the offering which I

present unto Thee is greater still. For the love of Jesus Christ, O myFather, pardon me and save me. If I have offended Thee in time past, Irepent of it above every evil. I now prize Thee, and love Thee, above

every good.

III.

Ah, who but a God of infinite love could ever have loved us to such adegree? St. Paul writes: But God, Who is rich in mercy, on account ofthe too great love wherewith He loved us when we were dead in sins,quickened us together in Christ. (14) The Apostle calls too great this

love which God showed us in giving to men, by means of the death ofHis Son, the life of grace which they had lost by their sins. But to God,Who is love itself, this love was not too great: God is love. (15) St. Johnsays that herein He wished to make us see the extent to which thegreatness of the love of a God towards us reached, in sending His ownSon into the world to obtain for us, by His death, forgiveness and lifeeternal: By this hath appeared the charity of God in us, because Godhath sent His own only-begotten Son into the world, that we might have

life through Him.(16)

By sin, we were dead to the life of grace; and Jesus, by His death, hasbrought us back to life. We were miserable, deformed objects ofabomination; but God, by means of Jesus Christ, has rendered us

pleasing and precious in His divine sight. He hath made us (wrote theapostle) acceptable through His beloved Son. (17) He hath made usacceptable, i.e., "He hath made us pleasing," says the Greek text. And

13


14/82

therefore St. John Chrysostom adds that were there to be a poor leper allcovered with wounds and disfigurements, and any one were to heal his

body of the leprosy, and make him beautiful and rich besides, how greatwould be the sense of obligation that he would retain towards this his

benefactor! How much more, then, are we now beholden to God, since,when our souls were disfigured and hateful on account of our sins, He

hath, by means of Jesus Christ, not only delivered us from our sins, buthas made them beautiful and lovely besides:He hath blessed us with all

spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. (18) Cornelius Lapide comments upon this: "He hath bestowed upon us every spiritualgift."(19) God's blessing involves benefaction. The Eternal Father, then,in giving us Jesus Christ, hath loaded us with all gifts, not indeed earthlyones in the body, but spiritual ones in the soul: In heavenly places;(20)giving us, together with His Son, a heavenly life in this world, and a

heavenly glory in the other.

Give me, then, Thy blessings and Thy benefactions, O my most lovingGod, and may the benediction draw me wholly to Thy love: "Draw me

by the chains of Thy love."(21) Let the love which Thou hast borne memake me enamored of Thy goodness. Thou dost deserve an infinite love;I love Thee with all the love I can command; I love Thee aboveeverything; I love Thee more than myself. I give Thee my whole will;

and this is the grace that I ask of Thee: make me from this day forth tolive and do everything according to Thy divine will, wherewith Thoudesirest nothing but my good, and my eternal salvation.

IV.

The King hath brought me into the cellar of wine; He hath set in order

charity in me. (22) My Lord, said the holy spouse, hath taken me into thecellar of wine: that is to say, hath placed before mine eyes all the

benefits that He hath done me in order that I may be induced to loveHim:He hath set in order charity in me. A certain writer says that God,in order to gain our love, has, so to say, dispatched against us an army ofthe graces of love. "He drew up charity against me like an armedhost."(23) But, says Cardinal Hugo, the gift of Jesus Christ to us was thereserved arrow of which Isaias prophesied: He hath made me as achosen arrow: in His quiver He hath hidden me. (24) As the hunter, says

14


15/82

Hugo, keeps the best arrow in reserve to give the finishing stroke to hisgame, so did God, amongst all His other benefits, keep Jesus in reserve,until the time of grace had arrived, and then He sent Him forth, as if togive the finishing stroke of love to the hearts of men: "The chosen arrowis kept in reserve: so was Christ kept in reserve in the bosom of theFather, until the fullness of time should come; and then He was sent

forth to wound the hearts of the faithful."(25) St. Peter, wounded by thisarrow, says St. John Chrysostom, (26) said to his Master: "Lord, Thouknowest well that I love Thee:Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee."(27)

Ah, my God, I behold myself surrounded on all sides with the artificesof Thy love. I do, likewise, love Thee; and if I love Thee, I know thatThou too dost love me. And what power shall ever deprive me of Thylove? Sin only. But from this infernal monster it is for Thee, through

Thy mercy, to deliver me. I am content to suffer every evil, the mostcruel death, or even to be torn to pieces, sooner than offend Thee bymortal sin. But Thou already knowest my past falls; Thou knowest myweakness; help me, O my God, for love of Jesus Christ; Despise notThou the work of Thine hands, (28) I am the workmanship of Thy hands;Thou has created me; despise me not. If I merit to be left to myself byreason of my sins, I merit nevertheless that Thou be merciful towards mefor love of Jesus Christ, who hath sacrificed His life to Thee for my

salvation. I offer up to Thee His merits, which are all mine; and, throughthem, I ask of Thee, and hope for, from Thee, the gift of holyperseverance, together with a good death; and meanwhile to live theremainder of my life entirely to Thy glory. Long enough have I offendedThee! I now repent of it with all my heart, and I wish to love Thee to theuttermost of my power. I desire no longer to offer resistance to Thy love:I surrender myself wholly unto Thee. Give me Thy grace, and Thy love,and then do with me what Thou wilt. I love Thee, O my God, and I wish,and I ask of Thee, to love Thee always. Oh, for the merits of Jesus

Christ, hearken unto my prayer. Mary, my Mother, pray to God for me.Amen. So may it be.
