“When Jesus was about to die, he went to a garden. He told everyone who followed him to stay awake. It was hard to stay awake. They’d done so much, and all of this was emotionally exhausting. Jesus went off and prayed hard, crying with God and having all sorts of spiritual revelations, and the disciples kept sleeping. Three times Jesus came back, saying “No seriously, this time don’t sleep.” But they kept sleeping. And even now, more than 700,000 nights later, wherever you are in the world, Jesus never stops asking you to stay awake: awake to the suffering of the world, to our own souls, to the amazing miracle of being alive.”
