"Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?"(My God, my God why have you forsaken me ?) Matthew 27, 46
I admire my Master ! During the bloody , atrocities of Good Friday He could perform a miracle , He could manipulate the events , but He empties completely the chalice about which He was speaking of ,on the night of Holy Thursday !Humiliation , bodily, spiritual suffering , and at the end this infinite loneliness ! God’s comforting angels are nowhere, more over we can come to the conclusion from Jesus’ words, that He lived through all the anguish of abandonment for us , just so He can redeem us from our sins!!
Lets stop here for a moment and lets suddenly realise to the great destructive power of sin and that its murderous sting that can only be torn out by such an enormous love !!
Lets dissociate ourselves from all forms of sin, , lets make a lifelong decision by the pure, merciful love !! Lets get down on our knees in front of our Lord God with trust, our conversion , lets accept this ransom crying , sobbing that He paid for us on the cross !
