Responsorial Psalm from 22:1(2)
Palm Sunday
©️2021 by Gloria M. Chang
And at three o’clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
Mark 15:34
(cf. Matthew 27:46)
My God, my God,
why have you forsaken me?
Often I have felt forlorn,
Forsaken and forgotten.
Remedial action:
I look upon the crucifix,
Seeing Christ’s suffering,
Reality not fiction,
Lingering at the cross
Changes my selfie view.
Prayer spills from my mouth.
“Lord, have mercy on me.”
Lord, by your cross and resurrection, you have set us free.
