ALTAR OF REPOSE
The Gospels of both Matthew and Mark recount how Jesus, after celebrating the Passover with his disciples and instituting the Eucharist, went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. He took Peter, James, and John with him and three times asked them, “Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation.” In this, we find both a pattern to imitate and an invitation to join with Christ to keep watch and pray as we move from Maundy Thursday into Good Friday.
Keep Watch at the Altar of Repose
All are invited to keep watch with the Blessed Sacrament at the altar of repose from the end of the Maundy Thursday service until the morning of Good Friday. Sign up to participate in one-hour increments for this unique opportunity to pray with Jesus and enter even more deeply into the mystery of Jesus’ love and passion.
