Article 2 IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME
2605
When the hour had come for him to fulfill the Father’s plan of love, Jesus
allows a glimpse of the boundless depth of his filial prayer, not only before
he freely delivered himself up (“Abba . . . not my will, but
yours.”),53 but even in his last words on the Cross, where prayer
and the gift of self are but one: “Father, forgive them, for they know not
what they do”,54 “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with
me in Paradise”,55 “Woman, behold your son” –
“Behold your mother”,56 “I thirst.”;57
“My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?”58 “It is
finished”;59 “Father, into your hands I commit my
spirit!”60 until the “loud cry” as he expires, giving up
his spirit.61
