The yoke was heavy on
Jesus, O God,
so very heavy, so
much to endure.
To you he cried out that
cry of
forsakenness; then he
died,
surrounded by your
love,
even as the mountains
surround Jerusalem.

The king answered the people harshly. He disregarded the
advice that the older men had given him and spoke to them according to the

your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with
scorpions.”

At three o’clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi,
Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken
me?”
