In his agony on Cross, Jesus cried out :
"Eloi, Eloi,,Iama sabachthani? which is, being in-
terpreted," My God, my God, why hast thou forsak-
en me?" (Mark 15:34).
Can any one imagine these words coming out of
the mouth of God? Here we have the cry of a help-
less man in agony addressed to his Creator and Lord.
God is the object of our worship, the Supreme be-
ing to whom we creatures address our prayers. We
cannot imagine
God praying to any one. Yet about Jesus it is writ-
ten in the Gospels :
"And when he had sent the multitude away, he
went up into a mountain apart to pray."
"And in tl-ie morning, rising up a great while be-
fore day, he went out, and departed into a solitary
place, and there prayed". (Mark 1:35)
"And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and
prayed". (Luke 5:16).
