The Agony in the Garden

The Agony in the Garden is the first of the five Sorrowful Mysteries of the rosary, prayed on Tuesdays and Fridays.

And he was withdrawn away from them a stone's cast; and kneeling down, he prayed, Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but yet not my will, but thine be done.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 22:41-44 (Douay-Rheims)
