"I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer" Lk 22:15
The Passover Dinner, with all of its symbolism, was used by Jesus to explain his ministry one last time. And, at the end of this dinner, Jesus asked his disciples to “Do this in remembrance of me”. The early Church took this request seriously. The Seder Dinner was the basis of their Christian Lord's Day Service for the next 300 years. More and more Christians are including the Seder Dinner into their Holy Week activities, in order to learn the significance of this ceremony and the connection we all have with our Jewish heritage. This Seder Meal is being offered to those who would like to learn about, and experience it, with a view to then offering it in their parish during Holy Week this year.
Lent on Line: A talks series free to watch on your computer
Is there any reason to hope?’ ‘Can the Church govern itself?’ ‘Is God to be found in suffering?’ ‘Can we avoid suffering?’ ‘How do we speak to God in the midst of dark recessionary times?’ ‘How can we make sense of all that is happening?’
Congratulation to the NOSTRA team at Mary Immaculate College for developing this free series of talks for Lent 2011. These 15 minute talks tackle serious topics and would be great discussion starters for a group, or points of reflection for an individual.
Lectures are posted every Monday on the web link beginning on the 14th of March 2011. Interested? – to find out more, please e-mail mary.t.martin@mic.ul.ie or see http://www.nostra.ie/news/lol-lent-on-line
