Day 19 : The Agony of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane
The First Sorrowful Mystery of the Rosary
Matthew 26:36–46:
“And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words. Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”
Today’s Virtue:
Uplifting Our Suffering
Emulate Mary and keep Christ company all the way to the end, even if it leads you to the foot of the Cross as it did for her. Do not let your suffering separate you from Him. Instead, bring it to Him and allow Him to teach you how to uplift it.
Conclude by praying the Litany of the Passion of our Lord:
