✝️Today we begin the Paschal Triduum with the The Lord's Supper and the celebration of the Institution of the Eucharist.

Over the next few days of the Triduum, we will share photographs taken at the locations in the Holy Land commemorating the sites of our Lord's Passion, Death and Resurrection. These photographs and accompanying scripture can be used to reflect, pray and journey with Jesus over these most holy of days. Our first image and reflection is from the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus prayed after his last meal with his disciples.

📖Matthew 26: 36 - 41: "Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, ‘Sit here while I go over there and pray.’ He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and agitated. Then he said to them, ‘I am deeply grieved, even to death; remain here, and stay awake with me.’ And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed, ‘My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not what I want but what you want.’ Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, ‘So, could you not stay awake with me one hour?'"
