Christ's Bloody Sweate

Christ's Agony. J-J Tissot.

This post and the linked booklet have been prepared as a response in Holy Week to Our Saviour’s words when He suffered His Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane:

And he cometh to his disciples, and findeth them asleep, and he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me? Watch ye, and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.

Et venit ad discipulos suos, et invenit eos dormientes, et dicit Petro : Sic non potuistis una hora vigilare mecum? Vigilate, et orate ut non intretis in tentationem. Spiritus quidem promptus est, caro autem infirma. [Matth. xxvi 40-41]
