Prayer in the Garden (Tuesday)
On Tuesday of Holy Week, read the account of Jesus praying a sad and powerful prayer in the garden of Gethsemane.
- Read Matthew 26:36-45
Ask these reflection questions:
- Why do we pray to God, and why does Jesus pray to God? (because it was how Jesus and how we communicate with God)
- What did Jesus mean when he said My Father, if it is possible, take this cup of suffering away from me. But let what you want be done, not what I want.”? (Jesus was asking God if it was possible not to let him go to the cross to suffer and to die.)
