(Luke 22:39-46) Father Anthony reflects on Jesus’ agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, revealing the depth of God’s love shown not only in miracles and triumphs, but also in trembling and tears. He shows how the Savior who healed the sick and walked on water now falls to His knees beneath the weight of our sin—choosing obedience over escape and love over fear. As Jesus prays “not my will but Yours be done,” we witness a battle no army could fight and no disciple could see: the victory of surrender. In this solemn moment, we learn that God’s strength is not the absence of struggle, but faithfulness through it—and that in our darkest nights, we never kneel alone, for the same Jesus who sweat drops of blood now meets us in our anxieties, carries our sorrows, and turns our most fearful yes into grace beyond measure.
