full consecration

Neal A. Maxwell: He maintained His full consecration in the midst of the deepest deprivation anyone can know. President Brigham Young has taught us that in the course of the astonishing atonement, the Father withdrew both His presence and His Spirit from Jesus, and, further, even cast a veil over Jesus. (See Journal of Discourses, 3: 205–6.) Thus Jesus became utterly and totally alone.

There then came that great cry of forsakenness. “Nevertheless,” Jesus did not “shrink,” but, instead, “finished [his] preparations unto the children of men.” (D&C 19:18–19.) Just as He promised premortally, even when He might have reflected a little credit upon Himself for the glorious atonement, meek Jesus instead gave all the glory to the Father. (See D&C 19:19.)
