The cry of dereliction

On Good Friday we contemplate Jesus’ cry, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” What was going on here? Was Jesus really forsaken by the Father – did he turn his face away? How does this experience of suffering affect us? Is it part of the retribution for sin, or is it part of Jesus healing us? Join us as we discuss (not answer!) these questions and more.

 

If you haven’t been able to go through the stations of the cross in the building, you can go through the digital version here - an excellent tool for your Easter contemplation!

 

We also recommended chapters from Eleonore Stump’s book Atonement
