The Agony in the Garden

During His agony in the garden, Our Savior experienced the deepest sorrow and abandonment this world has ever known.  “My soul,” He sadly expressed, “is sorrowful, even unto death.”  In this meditation taken from our Meditations and Reflections, we consider the causes of Our Savior’s agony, His willing acceptance of sufferings for our sake, and His great desire for a return of love and gratitude.  By reflecting thus upon the sorrowful Heart of Our Savior, crushed by mankind’s cold indifference, may we be moved to “watch and pray” with Him and so afford Him a little consolation.
