I have been a Catholic several years now but what still confuses me is “The Passion”. What part of Jesus’ life was his “passion” ?

His life for ours. His love for His brothers and sisters. He gave us so much. He was so passionate about it all that He was willing for the Father’s will be done and not his.
I was just learning about His passion from EWTN on the “The Chaplet of the Divine Mercy” and there is two lines of the song and it goes like this:
“Have mercy on us and the whole world”
“For His Sorrowful Passion”.
If you would watch that, you will feel it and know it.

It is covered in Mark 14 & 15, with additional details in in the other 3 Gospels. The Catholic Encyclopedia breaks it down for us, indicating which events are common in the synoptic Gospels, and how each author gives us more and different details.

Here you are:
Father Serpa’s Meditation on Jesus’ Passion
I feel like that pretty much sums it up for me.

The passion of Christ starts at the Garden of Gethsemane right after the last Supper and concludes with his death at the Cross.

The Passion of our Lord Jesus is more closely related to His last hours on earth. It was in these hours when if you can say “all hell broke loose”. The powers of hell decided to give Jesus this direct suffering. The greatest deed ever done for us and for our salvation was not that Jesus went through with this but He was willingly to go through with this. Remember it was His decision to undergo these sufferings for us. Jesus stated that no man takes this life away from Him but that He had chosen willingly to accept what would come to Him. His willingly to undergo sufferings does make me stop and wonder. I am at awe that Jesus was willing to suffer all these pains for our redemption. The Eternal Father would bless us in accordance to the sufferings His Son had to undergo. This tremendous sacrifice our Lord was willingly to undergo for us had tremendous value and merit.

I believe earlier posters are correct when they say Jesus passion started after the Last Supper (which I am convinced occurred on Tuesday evening), but I believe His passion ended not with His death but with His resurrection before dawn Sunday. Several places in the Epistles and the Apostles creed indicate that Jesus descended into Hades (translated sometimes as hell, but Jesus always distinguished between Hades (the abode of the dead) and Gehenna (which He calls hell) and it was not until His resurrection that His saving work was complete (Rom 4:25 raised for our Justification).

Ok, how bout when He told His Apostles to stay awake while he went to pray during his last hour with the Father. Did he do that deliberately to make a point to us when He knew what they were going to do beforehand?? I never could understand that.

Starts from the Agony in the garden up to the crucifixion.

The thing is, personally I don’t think that the Passion started in Gethsemane. Just a thought, but perhaps we could make a case that the Passion of Jesus really began once He stepped foot in Jerusalem.

Yes, I think so too. The church does enter a solemn mode starting off from Palm Sunday, which carries through Holy Week.
