Sorrowful Mysteries
First Mystery: The Agony in the Garden
“Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”Luke 22:42
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prays in anguish as His Passion approaches. His sweat becomes like drops of blood, and He surrenders Himself wholly to the Father’s will.
Fruit of the mystery: Sorrow for sin · conformity to God’s will
A prayer with Saint Gregory the Great
Holy Spirit, you filled Saint Gregory the Great with wisdom to teach your Church. By the prayers of Saint Gregory the Great, open my mind to your truth and my heart to love it. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace…
