The Agony in the Garden

First Sorrowful Mystery
Prayer 1 of 78Apostles' CreedCredo in Deum
ENGLISH
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Holding the Crucifix, make the Sign of the Cross and recite the Apostles' Creed.

The Agony in the Garden (First Sorrowful Mystery)

Jesus enters the Garden of Gethsemane after the Last Supper. There, He begins to tremble in sorrow as He accepts the cup of suffering for the salvation of the world. While the apostles sleep, Christ watches, prays, sweats blood, and surrenders Himself completely to the will of the Father.
Matthew 26:36-46; Luke 22:39-46Spiritual Fruit: Surrender to God's Will

 1. Sight (Visus)

Sense 1 of 7

Place yourself quietly in the garden beside Jesus.

What does the olive grove look like beneath the night sky?

How does the moonlight fall upon the stones and trees?

Can you see the weariness in the face of Jesus after the Supper?

What expression is on His face as He kneels to pray?

Do you notice the apostles sleeping nearby?

Can you see the drops of blood falling from His brow onto the earth?

What does the angel strengthening Him look like?

Remain here as long as grace invites you.
