In this contemplation of the time in the upper room we begin by thinking about the whole of Holy Week from the point of view of the I AM - the Christ in us.
The Gospel of St John is the gospel of the I AM so our study begins with those passages written by St John.
We are reminded that we only know a few of the things that happened in this week:
- Sunday - the entry into Jerusalem;
- Thursday - Jesus with his disciples in the upper room;
- Friday - the agony and arrest in the garden and the trials, mocking and scourging, crucifixion, death on Calvary and the burial in the tomb;
- Sunday - the risen Christ and various appearances.
There is nothing of the other days or other times on these days.
We explored our own perceptions of these days and found within us a quality, a feeling. We asked ourselves what where the forces present? what was the atmosphere? what was the I AM doing?
