The Agony of Our Lord in the Garden of Olives

In the first sorrowful mystery we contemplate how Our Lord Jesus Christ prayed to His heavenly Father requesting the chalice of His passion to be taken away, nevertheless conforming Himself to the will of the Father and not His own. Entering into agony, His sweat became drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground.

Let us beseech Mary, seat of wisdom, to grant us the virtue of seriousness so that we will courageously embrace every suffering that comes our way.

Our Father, Hail Mary (ten times), Glory be to the Father, O my Jesus.. .
