Scriptural description

According to the four Gospels, immediately after the Last Supper, Jesus went for a walk to pray. Each Gospel offers a slightly different account of the narrative details. The Gospels of Matthew and Mark identify this place of prayer as Gethsemane. Jesus was accompanied by three Apostles: Peter, John and James, whom he asked to keep awake and pray. He moved "a stone's throw" from them, where He felt tremendous sadness and sadness, and said, "My Father, if possible, let this cup pass you by, but let it be like you, not me, will have me. " Then, moments later, He said, "If this cup can not pass, but I have to drink it, you will finish!" (Matthew 26:42; in Latin Vulgate: old voluntas fiat ). He uttered this prayer three times, examining the three apostles between each prayer and finding them asleep. He commented: "The Spirit wants, but the flesh is weak". An angel came from heaven to strengthen him. During his suffering when he prayed, "his sweat is like a great drop of blood falling to the ground" (Luke 22:44).

At the end of the story, Jesus accepts that the time has come for him to be betrayed.

Tradition

In the Roman Catholic tradition, Suffering in the Garden is the first Rosary Mourning Mystery and the First Station of the Way of the Holy Cross. The Catholic tradition includes prayers and special devotions as acts of reparation for the sufferings of Jesus during His suffering and desire. This Reparations action to Jesus Christ does not involve a petition for beneficiaries alive or dead, but aims to "fix sin" against Jesus. Such prayers are provided in the Catholic prayer book Raccolta approved by Decree 1854, and published by the Holy See in 1898 which also includes prayers as the Acts of Improvement to the Virgin Mary.

In his encyclical Miserentissimus Redemptor on reparations, Pope Pius XI calls the Reparations Story to Jesus Christ a duty to Catholics and calls them "a kind of compensation to be given for injury" in connection with the sufferings of Jesus.

The Catholic tradition states that Jesus sweats literally and not figuratively.

Holy Hour

In the Catholic tradition, Matthew 26:40 is the basis of the Holy Hour devotion to Eucharistic adoration. In Matthew's Gospel: "Then he said to them, 'My soul is very sad even unto death, stay here, and watch with me.'" (Matthew 26:38) Come to the disciples, he finds them sleeping and, in Matthew 26:40, asks Peter:

"So can not you watch with me for an hour?"

The Holy Hours devotional tradition began in 1673 when Santa Margaret Mary Alacoque declared that he had a vision of Jesus where he was commanded to spend an hour each Thursday night to reflect on the sufferings of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.
