"From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Eloi, Eloi, Lama sabachthani' which meaans, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
"And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split."
"When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happen they were terrified, and exclaimed, 'Surely he was the Son of God!'"
Selected passages from Matthew 27
Today I am reflecting on the passion of the Cross and the sacrifice of a King. No matter what the world and those in it may hand you---no matter the devastation in life----HE DOES NOT FORSAKE ME! HE IS FAITHFUL!
