After waving of the palms has ceased and the shouts have subsided... while the haunting cry of 'forsaken' still echos from atop the cross (challenging us to consider who has abandoned whom)... we also enter this week reciting the rest of Psalm 22, including: “Yet you are holy... In you our ancestors trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them. To you they cried, and were saved; in you they trusted, and were not put to shame.... For he did not despise or abhor the affliction of the afflicted.... The poor shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the Lord. May your hearts live forever!” (Psalm 22: 3-5, 26)
