about

Now the earthly drama of Christ’s Passover most definitively begins, as the apostles together with him sing a hymn, and then descend from the Upper Room into the valley below the Mount of Olives, to a Garden called Gethsemane. Here, in the deepest solitude of prayer, while his disciples sleep, Christ humanly grapples with and renews his acceptance of the ardent plan of redeeming love conceived together with the Father in the bosom of eternity, and which is now to be enacted in time. Here the docility of the Son of God takes up the fallen disobedience of humanity, and suffers through our waywardness, to open up the path back into love once again. Yes, the docility of Christ is synergy: utter oneness with his Father in perfect love, in which all the darkness of humanity in sin and suffering is taken up, healed, and redeemed by God. The solitude of Christ is expressed in this piece by the solo cello, a cello filled with anguished and yet trusting cry of the heart. But his solitude alone is not expressed, as the harp and flutes come and walk with him, just as the Father never abandoned the Son even in this place, and indeed sent angels to minister to him.
