THE MATERNAL SIDE OF OUR GRACIOUS FATHER {JESUS}.

Psalms 34:8  Find out for yourself how good the Lord is.

The Return of the Prodigal Son (Famous Painting by Rembrandt)

The Fatherly & Maternal Side of our Heavenly Father. 

In This Painting the fathers hands seem to suggest Mothering and Fathering at Once; the Left Appears Larger and more Masculine, set on the son's shoulder, while the Right is Softer and more Receptive in Gesture.

THE MATERNAL SIDE OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER 

Psalms 34:8  Find out for yourself how good the Lord is.
 
In the Very Name of God- {El-Shaddai} has the Maternal side.The name El Shaddai means “God, the powerful one” or “God, the almighty one.”  Shaddai Signifies one who Nourishes, Supplies,and Satisfies. The word ‘El’ means God. And the word Shaddai comes from the Hebrew root shad, meaning ‘breast.’  Some scholars translate El Shaddai as meaning,God, the mighty breasted one. 

Even tho we know God as a Father Figure, yet in Him we can find the Fullness of Maternal Love. God the Father is the Source of every Maternal Love. The Bible Reveals to us the Maternal side of our God, it says, just as a Mother hen Protects its young under her wings, so does our Heavenly Father Protects us His Children's under His Wings. Psalms 36:7 How Precious, O God, is your Constant Love! we find Protection under the Shadows of your Wings. 


Note: God has a Maternal Side, but it DOES NOT Mean God is Female. God Created (Woman-Mother-Maternal Love) from His Divine Fatherhood.                 

Pope Benedict: we are not Authorized to change the Our Father into an Our Mother:
--------------------------------------------------------
In Jesus also we can find the Maternal and Nurturing side. In John 13:21-23 

The Apostle John use to Rest on the Breast of Jesus. Jesus being a Man allowed John to Rest on His Breast. Because John Received Jesus Nurturing Love, thus john was known as the Disciple
whom Jesus Loved the Most.

St.Faustina: Jesus Shield me with Your Breast. 


So now we can come to Our Father and Jesus everyday and Say in our Prayers : My Father, my Lord, {El - Shaddai}, allow me today to Feed from your Breast the Fullness of your Love, Grace's and your Tender Mercy. 


Abba Father, I take my Rest on Thy Breast, and I Draw from Thy Bosom, The Fullness of Your Love, Mercy & Graces.

Jesus: Souls who Spread the Honor of My Mercy I Shield through their Entire life as a Tender Mother her Infant. (St. Faustina Diary, 1075)
