DESCRIPTION:In our Holy Week services\, we are no longer spectators but pa
 rticipants. Tonight\, we sit with the disciples eating and drinking at a s
 olemn and haunting meal with Jesus in the Upper Room. As Jesus invites us 
 to share in bread and wine\, he says those mysterious words that have beco
 me central to our celebration of the Holy Eucharist: ‘this is my body\, 
 this is my blood’. And soon afterwards\, that trusted disciple\, Judas\,
  makes a hasty exit.\n\nAt the end of the Eucharist\, the altar is strippe
 d. Why? The altar represents Christ\, and the stripping of the altar remin
 ds us how he was stripped of his garments and was exposed naked to the ins
 ults of his persecutors.\n \nAfter supper we go to the garden of Gethseman
 e to pray. Or in our case\, at the end of our Eucharist\, we go to the cem
 etery garden to watch and pray. Jesus didn’t sleep that night\, and his 
 disciples slept only fitfully. In fact he didn’t hesitate to rouse them
 ….as if perhaps he wanted companionship during those late night hours. S
 o let us give him ours.\n\nAnd then\, suddenly\, Judas returns\, the disci
 ple now turned betrayer\, and we share the shock and fear of the disciples
  as he is accompanied by armed soldiers\, and Jesus is arrested. And so Ma
 undy Thursday ends ... in chaos.
