Jesus Prays in the Garden of Gethsemane
Jesus knew the suffering He was about to endure. His human nature made Him fearful of the pain. Jesus was scared. His human nature did not want to suffer and feel pain. he was afraid, and began to sweat and be anxious about it.
Even so, He gave us a courageous example of faith, praying for God’s will to triumph. He obeyed God the Father, even though if meant that Jesus had to suffer and die.
“And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him. And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation. And he was withdrawn away from them a stone’s cast; and kneeling down, he prayed, Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but yet not my will, but thine be done. And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer. And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground.” Luke 22:39-44
