Starfarers, 1.
Ricardo Nansen thinks:
"Into Your hands, God -" (p. 19)
This is Biblical:
"Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Father! In your hands, I place my spirit!' He said this and died." (Lk. 23: 46)
Confirming this reference, we find that, between them, the four canonical Gospels present three different versions of Jesus's last words. See also:
"...Jesus cried out with a loud shout, 'Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?'" (Mt. 27:46; Mk. 15:34)
"Jesus drank the wine and said, 'It is finished!' Then he bowed his head and died." (Jn. 19:30)
Not directly relevant here but we go wherever the texts take us.

Kaor, Paul!
And in Matthew 27.46 and Mark 15.34 Our Lord was quoting from Psalm 21.2. It was all too appropriately applicable to His Passion!
Ad astra! Sean
