Psalm 22

“When Jesus echoed these words on the cross (my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?), total aloneness and full acceptance touched each other. In that moment of complete emptiness, all was fulfilled. In that hour of darkness, new light was seen. While death was witnessed, life was affirmed. Where God’s absence was most loudly expressed, God’s presence was mot profoundly revealed.”
'Spiritual Direction: Wisdom for the Long Walk of Faith' by Henri Nouwen
