    %he parishioners, including the youth and children, responded enthusiastically to yet another call
    to ser&e albeit catechi'ing through acting in the $ear of Faith (t is a re"arkable gathering of "any talents
    ) fro" the narrators and actors to the choir co"prising "e"bers fro" both churches %he procure"ent
    of the right kind of "usic and costu"es, directing, stage "anage"ent and lighting re*uired "uch
    inspirational and technical e+pertise Such is a co"ing together of ,ods gifts to each to "ake the whole
    play a resounding success (t was not -ust "ere acti&ity for those who participated Many were &isibly
    "o&ed by the depth of Jesus action in doing the will of the Father
    %he play opened with a re.enact"ent of the !ast Supper followed by the agony in the garden of
    ,ethse"ane Seeing Jesus in agony rather than -ust reading about it "akes one share the utter despair
    that He felt As !ianne Hendriks, a choir "e"ber, co""ented /(t gi&es the reading "ore depth of
    "eaning0 (t brings to "ind that Jesus is hu"an like us and is capable of feeling the pain of knowing what
    lies ahead (t brings us to another di"ension of the e+tent of His suffering and yet He is still obedient, /1
    %hy will be done0
    %hose who ca"e to watch were transported back in ti"e and "ade to feel the despair and re"orse
    felt by Judas and Peter in the betrayal and denial of Jesus (t also showed how hardened the Jewish crowd
    was Seeing Judas re"orse at betraying innocent blood and his unti"ely end bring to "ind the despair he
    felt at ha&ing done a gra&e wrong What was "ore co"pelling was the sight of hi" hanging as he turned
    his re"orse into action not being able to say #sorry Peters reali'ation of his denial and his re"orse,
    o&erlain by sorrow, was con&incingly acted out and there was no doubt that the audience was "o&ed
    %here was a shocked silence as they witnessed the scourging and the tor"ented cries of Jesus
    touched a chord in "any and so"e could not help but shed a tear Angela %heseira, a catechu"en to be
    bapti'ed this 2aster, and 3le"entine broke down and cried As we watch, we ask oursel&es /!ord, !ord,
    what ha&e we done to you4 Forgi&e us !ord as you forga&e those who had done this to you0
    Jesus stu"bling under the weight of the hea&y cross followed by His tearful "other, the wo"en
    and the crowd caused "any in the audience to be &isibly "o&ed and so"e, like %eresa Fong, could not
    help but broke down in tears %he sight of Peter filled with a deep sadness and despair of not being able to
    help his "aster as Jesus was led away carrying His cross brought into focus, for those watching, the
    un-ustified conde"nation and torture of an innocent "an
    Jesus crucifi+ion and death, the taking down of His body, the procession to the to"b and Marys
    anguish and pain was "ade real that which had always been read and left at the di"ension of words %he
    whole play brought into sharp focus the reality that happened 5666 years ago (t re&ealed the i""ensity
    of the suffering and death of an innocent "an, the #why of it deeply ingrained in it As Father Michael
    Mannayaga" said in his speech at the end of the play, /7ra"a is "ore effecti&e in telling the story of
    Jesus0
    (t re"inds us of the words of the Psal"8 /9ecall the wondrous deeds he has done0 :Psal" ;6<8<=
    %he play ser&ed as a re"inder to us lest we forget what He had done %he re.enact"ent of the !ast Supper,
    the agony in the garden, being dragged before the High Priest, Pilate and the -eering crowd, His walk to
    3al&ary and His death, shows up.front, / He did this for "e19e"e"ber0 %he choir put it succinctly as
    they sang #1 if that isnt !>?21@
    As we "o&e into Holy Week, on listening to the 9eadings at the 2ucharistic 3elebration for Pal"
    Sunday and the 3elebration of the !ords Passion on ,ood Friday, we will inad&ertently flash back to the
    scenes of the play and connect with what is read "ore &i&idly
