The Agony in the Garden! Yesterday, students participated in a short liturgy to commemorate Jesus' time in the Garden of Gethsemane. It was a reminder of Jesus' human nature as he wrestled with what was to come. It was a powerful example of the importance of turning to God in prayer at times of struggle in our lives. Thanks to all parents who came along to share in this formative experience.
