Garden of Gethsemane

by Brian Mulligan

We had the gift of celebrating mass at the church in the Garden of Gethsemane. Right in front of the altar is a the original

stone that is believed to be the spot where Jesus sweated blood before he was arrested.After mass as are thanksgiving we prayer a decade of the Rosary, the Agony in the Garden. It was a very heart felt decade because most of us were touching the stone on which Jesus would have sweated blood. I was particularly moved because the mystery of Jesus, being both fully human and divine, his humanity shows through at this moment. We have such a great God that love us so much to redeem and win for us eternal life!!
