\nAmong the beautiful Votive Masses of the Passion, found in some missals for certain weekdays after Septuagesima and through Lent, is that of The Prayer of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemani.<\/em>
\nIntroit<\/strong>
\nMy heart is troubled within me;
\nthe fear of death stands over me;
\nfear and trembling are come upon me (Ps 54:5-6).
\nV. O God, save me;
\nsee how the waters close about me,
\nthreatening my very life (Ps 68:2).
\nV. Glory.
\nCollect<\/strong>
\nLord Jesus Christ,
\nwhose word and example in the garden taught us to pray,
\nand thereby to overcome the perils of temptation,
\ngrant us grace ever to be intent upon prayer,
\nand so to earn its abundant reward.
\nThou who art God.
\nEpistle<\/strong> (Hebrews 5:5-10)
\nBrethren, Christ did not raise himself to the dignity of the high priesthood; it was God that raised him to it, when he said, you are my Son, I have begotten you this day, and so, elsewhere, You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchisedech. Christ, during his earthly life, offered prayer and entreaty to God who could save him from death, not without a piercing cry, not without tears; yet with such piety as won him a hearing. Son of God though he was, he learned obedience in the school of suffering, and now, his full achievement reached, he wins eternal salvation for all those who render obedience to him. A high priest in the line of Melchisedech, so God has called him.
\nGradual<\/strong>
\nMy heart is full of trouble, my life sinks ever closer to the grave.
\nV. I count as one of those who go down into the abyss,
\na man past all help (Ps 87:4-5)
\nTract<\/strong>
\nListen to me, Lord, of thy gracious mercy,
\nlook down upon me in the abundance of thy pity.
\nV. Do not turn thy face away from thy servant in this time of trouble,
\ngive a speedy answer to my prayer (Ps 68:17-18).
\nV. Do not leave me now, when trouble is close at hand,
\nwhen I have none to help me (Ps 21:12).
\nGospel <\/strong>(Luke 22:39-44)
\nAt this time, Jesus went out, as his custom was, to mount Olivet, his disciples following him. When he reached the place, he said to them, Pray that you may not enter into temptation. Then he parted from them, going a stone’s throw off, and knelt down to pray; Father, he said, if it pleases you, take away this chalice from before me; only as your will is, not as mine is. And he had sight of an angel from heaven, encouraging him. And now he was in an agony, and prayed still more earnestly; his sweat fell to the ground like thick drops of blood.
\nOffertory<\/strong>
\nO God, save me;
\nsee how the waters close about me,
\nthreatening my very life (Ps 68:2).
\nSecret<\/strong>
\nLord, by the merits of this holy sacrifice,
\nwe beseech thee, cause us, who are schooled by thy divine instruction,
\nto spend ourselves so effectively in prayer,
\nthat thy Son, Jesus Christ,
\nmay find us at the hour of death,
\nwatchful and free from sin.
\nWho with thee.
\nCommunion<\/strong> (Matthew 26:41)
\nWatch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation:
\nthe spirit is willing enough,
\nbut the flesh is weak.
\nPostcommunion<\/strong>
\nRefreshed with heavenly food,
\nwe humbly beseech thee, Almighty Father,
\nthat by virtue of the prayer of thy only-begotten Son,
\nwe who are set amidst such dangers to body and soul
\nmay be held worthy to come safely to the kingdom of heaven
\nThrough the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
