Eli Eli Lama Sabachtani

One thing about Via de la Cruz is the bout of humility and passion it brought, it reminded you that is how you're supposed to live your life.

And of course there is the beautiful hymn such as this one...
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
And when the people in the pews behind me starting singing in harmony to it, I just couldn't describe the feeling. I refrained from further singing to absorb such a personal spiritual moment.
