My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46)

But physical torment takes its toll. He suddenly discovers that he cannot hear the still, small voice; he has lost his two-way communication with God. His lifeline is not working, so he must face the the narrow gate of death alone.

So who is Jesus talking too?

[LisaFab]

He is invoking the opening line of Psalm 22, which would have been familiar to all the Jews present (though not by number, of course). It tells of the torments he endured, i.e., "They have pierced my hands and feet; I can count all my bones."

It ends with a prayer of hope: "Let the coming generation be told of the Lord that they may proclaim to a people yet to be born the justice He has shown."

Just reading Psalm 22 is a wonderful Holy Week meditation.
