Jesus Abandoned by the Father

This book helps us appreciate the virtues and suffering of the Holy Mother but raises a controversial point of concern: Jesus’ alleged loss of faith.
Our Lord assuredly recited the first sentence of Psalm 22 to call attention to the scriptural significance of his crucifixion. Fr. Troadec, however, asserts that Jesus used these words to express anguish regarding his abandonment by the Father. This notion of our Lord losing faith is contradicted by His commitment to die for our sins and His assurance to the thief that they’d meet in paradise.
Published under the aegis of the Angelus Press, qualifying comments should have been included clarifying the credibility of Fr. Troadec’s interpretation Jesus’s quote.

Thank you for your review. I think you misinterpret what Fr. Troadek is suggesting. Father is suggesting that Christ, in His humanity, suffered as a human, and allowed Himself to feel abandoned. Here is what Fr. Troadec answers on this point:
“Our Lord never had faith since he had the beatific vision. Faith consists of believing in God, but Our Lord did not believe in God, he saw him!
However, it is true that Our Lord wanted to experience all human miseries apart from sin. Cf. Saint Paul to the Hebrews (4, 15-16) He therefore experienced fear, anguish, etc... in the lower part of his being. How can we reconcile the two aspects of the nature of Our Lord? It is a mystery to us.”

St. Ambrose in his Exposition of the Christian Faith, Book II, Chapter VII, 56. similarly states:
'As being man, therefore, He doubts; as man He is amazed. Neither His power nor His Godhead is amazed, but His soul; He is amazed by consequence of having taken human infirmity upon Him. Seeing, then, that He took upon Himself a soul He also took the affections of a soul, for God could not have been distressed or have died in respect of His being God. Finally, He cried: 'My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?' As being man, therefore, He speaks, bearing with Him my terrors, for when we are in the midst of dangers we think ourself abandoned by God. As man, therefore, He is distressed, as man He weeps, as man He is crucified.'
