Tenebrae - The service of shadows 

Stay with Me

Remain here with Me

Watch and Pray

Join us next Friday at St. Philips in Pasadena, 7:00-9:00pm to pray, remain with Him, adore the cross, and enter into the darkness of Christ crucified.

We will be inside the church, please wear masks inside and social distance, remaining in groups of families. 

Tenebrae (Lat. darkness) is an ancient Holy Week service of shadows where we mournfully chant and read the Liturgy of the Hours, other Scriptures with commentaries while distinguish each candle’s light until darkness surrounds the sanctuary.

What will happen? You will be enveloped in sounds and visuals that will take you to the Passion, Death and Silence of Christ. Additionally to what is described above, we will sing Taize songs, expend Liturgy of the Hours by meditative singing Lectio Divina based on the Psalms. Our focus is intercessory prayer for various intentions since Good Friday is the day when the whole Church intercedes continually for the world to receive the salvation of Christ.
