Readings of the day
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 Saints Simon and Jude
Lord Jesus, you called Saints Simon and Jude to carry your Gospel to the world. By the prayers of Saints Simon and Jude, help me to hear your word and to share it gladly. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace…
