In these Gospel verses, Jesus goes to the Mount of Olives with his disciples, and at a particular place, Jesus separates himself to pray. Jesus urges his disciples to pray against temptation. In his prayer, Jesus expresses his desire for the cup of suffering to be removed but ultimately submits to God’s will. An angel appears from heaven to strengthen Jesus, and Jesus prays with such intensity that his sweat becomes like drops of blood falling to the ground.
Dear Jesus,
In the Garden of Gethsemane, you showed us the depth of your love and the strength that comes from praying to God. Just as you went to a quiet place to pray, help me to find moments to talk to you and seek God’s guidance in my life.
Sometimes, I feel afraid or worried, just like you did. Please be with me, Jesus, and help me to trust God even when things are hard. I want to say, ‘Not my will, but Yours be done,’ just like you did, and follow God’s plan for me.
Thank you for showing us that we can bring our struggles to God in prayer. Help me to remember to pray when I’m feeling sad or scared, knowing that God listens to me and cares about everything that’s happening in my life.
I’m grateful for your love and sacrifice, Jesus. Your strength in times of trial inspires me to be strong too. Please give me the courage to face challenges, knowing that God is always with me, just like He was with you in the garden.
I love you, Jesus, and I want to follow your loving example every day.
Amen.

Psalm 78 is a compelling narrative recounting the historical journey of the people of Israel, their encounters with God’s miraculous wonders, and their recurrent acts of rebellion. Asaph, the psalmist, takes on the role of a storyteller, urging the people to listen and learn from the lessons of their forefathers. The psalm serves as both a historical reflection and a cautionary tale, emphasizing the importance of remembering God’s deeds and remaining steadfast in obedience [ … ]
The Kingdom of God has come in the person of Jesus. This is Jesus’ message, and it is this that will lead to his being crucified. It is this toward which the language of apocalypse directs us: our old way of being fractures with the coming of Jesus; the new reality of which we are a part is as lightning flashing across the sky – across the whole sky, the whole of our world, from one side to the other. And still we are told there is to be no visible sign of the coming of the Kingdom. It is within us, in the midst of us, when we walk as disciples with Jesus [ … ]
