(Psalm 36) Such a God

“Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths.”

Ought not such a God fill our hearts to overflowing?

Quote

It was not possible for God the Father to forsake His Son in any real—factual—sense, because the Father and the Son are of “one being” (homoousios). The Godhead is indivisible.

The message of Jesus’ cry, therefore, in no way suggests God’s actual abandonment of him. This prayer conveys, not an objective, reified condition of Jesus, but, rather, his human experience of distance from God. The abandonment was psychological, not ontological.

— Fr. Patrick Reardon
