Why Are You Sleeping?

After they celebrated the Lord’s Table, the Bible tells us that Jesus and the disciples were singing as they traveled to the Mount of Olives. As they arrived there, Jesus told His disciples, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” The question that Jesus asks here varies, depending on which Gospel you are reading, but it has to do with the disciples not being able to stay awake and pray. In the Gospel of Mark we read, “‘Simon,’ he said to Peter, ‘are you asleep? Could you not keep watch with me for one hour? Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.’” Luke records it this way: “When he rose from prayer and went to the disciples, he found them asleep exhausted from sorrow. ‘Why are you sleeping?’ he asked them. ‘Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.’”

Mater Dei Alum Brian Williams is Deserving of Award

Brian is more than deserving of the Frank Outwater Lifetime Achievement Award presented to him. He has always been a motivator, a good and faithful husband to his wife and daughters. He has been generous to Mater Dei, his alma mater (MD '77), and helped financially to rescue the school from closure.
Never a marine, but never forced to resign. Never been accused of physical abuse. Truly an honest and good man who made one faux paus and was big enough to apologize.
Thank you, Brian Williams!
