Feeling closest to Jesus but distant from the Father and the Holy Spirit

[Lilackiwi]

It’s always been easy for me to look up to Jesus and see him as someone who really loves me and is caring. However, I remember growing up thinking that the Father was mean for sending his son to die and fearful of his ways- which I know it is good to fear God but it does leave me feeling distant to this person of the trinity. Also the Holy Spirit- to me it 's hard to feel close to a spirit as it sounds so abstract, it’s always been like Jesus has been my ‘favourite’ of the trinity and I know that the three persons are equal but as Jesus took the form of a human and was known for his legacy of kindness and warmth, I’ve naturally taken more of a liking to him. Any words of wisdom are kindly appreciated.

I have always felt closer to God the Father . I pray the Rosary and ask Mary to bring me closer to Jesus. I include the prayer to thr Holy Spirit, come holy spirit, come.

It is good and admirable to fear The Father in early stages of the spiritual path. However it seems that later on the fear is expected to have developed into a pure love.

There is only one God.

Naturally, the human nature shared, makes it easier to favor Jesus. But, have no fear:

John 14

9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Jesus is the Source of our knowing His Father, and His Holy Spirit. We will not know Them, until we know Him, and the more deeply we know and understand Him, the more deeply and intimately we will come to know Them.

John 8:19 They said to him therefore, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

John 14:7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; henceforth you know him and have seen him."

John 14:9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

I used to feel close to Jesus but now I feel distant.

Do not worry and continue your spiritual growth. The Trinity is real, they have the same nature, substance, and being.
