The Agony in The Garden

Luke: 22; 44

    "And His sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground."

    The medical term for this very real phenomenon is hematidrosis. When a person undergoes very severe mental anguish, the capillaries inside the sweat glands can burst, mixing with the sweat and causing a blood sweat. 

Meditation:  Jesus, You knew what You were about to endure for our redemption, and suffered a mental agony because of it. Teach us to say with You, "Not my will but Your Will be done"

Prayer: Eternal Father, We offer You the mental anguish and agony that Your Son endured for us in the garden, in reparation for all poor sinners.
