92. Everywhere, indeed, we have witness in
the Scriptures to show that Christ, in naming God as His God, does so
as man. “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken
Me?” Ps. xxii. 1. Cf.
S. Matt. xxvii. 46; S. Mark xv. 24. And
again: “From My mother’s womb Thou art My
God.” Ps. xxii. 11. In the
former place He suffers as a man; in the latter it is a man who is
brought forth from his mother’s womb. And so when He says,
“From My mother’s womb Thou art My God,” He means
that He Who was always His Father is His God from the moment when He
was brought forth from His Mother’s womb.
