Psalm 22 is often read on Good Friday, because Jesus quotes this Psalm on the cross when he says, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” This can be a difficult moment  for children (and anyone) to understand. But it helps to remember that there is more to the Psalm than just these words. This storytelling connects Psalm 22 and Psalm 23, and attempts to hold together the truth of Jesus’ pain with the truth of God’s love.
