In the Gospel of Mark's account of the Passion narrative, Jesus
calls out from the cross 'Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?' which is
the Aramaic for 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' - the
first line of Psalm 22. It's an anguished expression -
traditionally ascribed to King David - of defeat, failure,
abandonment and despair. This series of reflections, written for
Lent and Holy Week 2023 by the Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell,
ponders the significance of these words. What does it mean for
Jesus to have quoted them, at the very end of his life? What do
those words mean for us? This is a beautiful and compelling
exploration of the dark, suffering side of the Passion - and how
Jesus' words lead us to the greatest hope of all.
