At the nineth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? (Mk 15:34) 
Jesus Forsaken! You teach us the highest, divine, heroic lesson about love. So that we might have Light, you made yourself “darkness” So that God might dwell in us, you felt him far away. So that we might possess wisdom, you made yourself “ignorance” So that we might have life, you experienced death. So that we might be clothed with innocence, you made yourself “sin”. So that we might hope, you almost felt desperation. So that Heaven might be ours, you felt forsaken. Jesus Forsaken! You give us the certainty, that, by living you again, each one of us can, in our own corner of the world, give that necessary and decisive start to the change that humanity awaits, shining the light of the resurrection there.
