My name is Stuart. Today is Good Friday, the day when Christians remember Jesus\u2019 death upon the cross. It is customary for Christians, throughout Good Friday, to take time to remember and reflect on the events which lead Jesus to the cross.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the current restrictions, we cannot share in these reflections in person. Instead, we will be posting a short video at intervals throughout today, to lead us through the events of Jesus\u2019 final hours. We begin in the Garden of Gethsemane, with Jesus praying, which we read in the Gospel according to Luke, chapter 22:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><sup>39<\/sup><\/strong>Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. <strong><sup>40<\/sup><\/strong>On reaching the place, he said to them, \u2018Pray that you will not fall into temptation.\u2019 <strong><sup>41<\/sup><\/strong>He withdrew about a stone\u2019s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, <strong><sup>42<\/sup><\/strong>\u2018Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.\u2019 <strong><sup>43<\/sup><\/strong>An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. <strong><sup>44<\/sup><\/strong>And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.<\/p>\n<p><strong><sup>45<\/sup><\/strong>When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. <strong><sup>46<\/sup><\/strong>\u2018Why are you sleeping?\u2019 he asked them. \u2018Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Take a moment, and reflect: Have I ever been in a position where God was calling me to do something that I did not want to do? Would I be willing to lay down my life for another? Spend some time in prayer around these questions. You might want to kneel if you are able.<\/p>\n<p>Our next reflection is available from: 1pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the Clincarthill Parish Church Holy Week Reflections.
