HOLY THURSDAY VIGIL

Luke 22:39-46

Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”

Let us accompany Jesus during his agony in the garden of Gethsemane. The PRAYER VIGIL starts after the Mass commemorating the Last Supper. Come on your own or organise your friends and families to pray together.

 The objective is to have as MANY groups on each time slot.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided.
