Holy Thursday Vigil Retreat
for Young People
"The Moment that Changed the
World"
From 9 PM to Midnight on Holy Thursday, approximately 100
faithful gathered at St. Peter Cathedral to meditate on the
Lord's Passion. The solemn event took the form of nine
meditations reflecting some of the people who were there during
the events of Holy Week:
- Judas
- Peter
- Pontius Pilate
- Simon of Cyrene
- "Dismas,"the Good Thief
- Joseph of Arimathea
- Mary, the Sister of Lazarus
- Mary, the Mother of Christ
- Jesus
The reflections were each divided into three sections: 1. Bible
Reading, 2. Meditation, 3. Hymn. Three of the nine hymns were
sung in Aramaic and taken directly from the Chaldean Liturgy.
The event was led by Bp. Sarhad Yawsip Jammo, Fr. Andrew Younan,
and Deacon Keith Essaki.
