  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the Fourth Sunday of Lent.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This central Last Word of Jesus from the Cross is possibly the most important. He not only expresses the depths to which He enters into the consequences of sin, but the depth of His trust in the Father and the power of His sacrifice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Mass Readings from March 27, 2022:&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Joshua 5:9, 10-12&lt;/dt&gt;
