Reflections of mystics on Jesus in Garden of Gethsemene

He saw all our sins from Adam to end of the world.  Devil tried to crush Him like a worm.  Jesus was heartbroken seeing rejection of world.  He asked, "What good will my death do?"  It was small flock with world rejecting Him.  He went to Peter for comfort and help, but they were asleep.

But when he saw YOU in His vision, He got up, fixed His hair, got composed and went out to die for YOU!

Return His love with love.

Hope you can attend Triduum

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
