The Agony in the Garden
Spiritual Fruit: Sorrow for Sin & Conformity to God’s Will
"Jesus prayed: "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.""
Contemplation on The Agony in the Garden
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus sweats drops of blood in profound agony while embracing the Father’s will.
As we recite the ten Hail Marys of this decade, we fix our interior gaze upon this mystery of Christ's life. We ask for the grace to embody its spiritual fruit, Sorrow for Sin & Conformity to God’s Will, in our daily lives.
Sealing the Decade with the Glory Be
At the close of the ten Hail Marys for this decade, we stand in spirit with the Blessed Mother and offer all our contemplation back to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit with the Glory Be (Gloria Patri), acknowledging that all holiness flows from and returns to the Blessed Trinity.
