When I was in the seminary, an elderly priest told us, “Life is a series of Good Fridays with an occasional Easter thrown in just to keep us going.”We were young. “No!” we objected. “Life is an endless Easter with some Good Fridays thrown in to keep us on our toes!”It wasn’t until I wa
The Mirror Three ‘t’s on the scrubby hill, neatly crossed the Roman way, The naked ‘i’s, skewered like worms, dotted burgundy with blood, As clear to the passing eye as three billboards by a roadside: Death to the thief. Death to the rebel. Death to the author of life, Not even important enough to murder...
After celebrating Passover, Jesus and His disciples walked to the Mount of Olives, to the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36). The fact that Jesus spent the final hours before His arrest in a gard…

Sorrow . . . turns out to be not a state but a process, It needs not a map but a history. _C. S. Lewis I stumbled onto dry bones. There’s a wasteland of them, and at times they still overwhelm my heart. Months and even y
The Book of Mormon is one of the most important sources available in the world today for understanding Christ and His mission. A careful analysis of scriptures from the Book of Mormon, in their contexts reveals several interconnections between the Atonement, resurrection, and judgment, that might not be obvious at first. The Book of Mormon shows the inextricable connections between the Resurrection and the other aspects of the Atonement. It demonstrates that the Atonement of Jesus Christ included His suffering for the sins of mankind in the Garden of Gethsemane, the shedding of His blood, His suffering and death on the cross, and His literal Resurrection.
What can we learn from Jesus' agony in Gethsemane? That real spirituality is authentic. Just like Jesus we are free to be who we are feel what we're feeling.

But one of the most meaningful–and prayer-provoking–spots in the Holy Land is the Garden of Gethsemane at the foot of the Mount of Olives.
This Good Friday has my reflections centered in Jerusalem. In the Garden of Gethsemane is the Church of All Nations. The Church of All Nations, standing near the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, is built over the rock on which Jesus is believed to have prayed in agony the night before he was crucified. The church and the adjacent Garden of Gethsemane, with its eight ancient olive trees, provide an evocative place for meditation, especially when visited at night. The church is also known as the Basilica of the Agony. Completed in 1924, it is the third church on the site. Its design blends the façade of a typically Roman basilica with a roof of 12 small domes that suggest an Eastern character. Will you watch and pray with me? Oh, Father, if it be your will. The rock over which Jesus might have prayed in the Garden. Protected here in the church for others to see. The Betrayal with a kiss. Beautiful ceiling. Stained glass window. Exterior of Church of All Nations- named this- because so many nations helped to pay for this building. The richly-coloured triangular mosaic at the top of the façade makes it a Jerusalem landmark. The view from the courtyard. Oh Jerusalem, Oh Jerusalem.
“On the one hand Death is the triumph of Satan, the punishment of the Fall, and the last enemy. Christ shed tears at the grave of Lazarus and sweated blood in Gethsemane: the Life of Lives that was…
