Hi, I'm Edward Sree, and welcome to all things Catholic Catholic where real faith meets real life.

Have you ever wondered about Jesus's prayer in the Garden of

Yosemite the night before he died when he prayed, Father, if it be possible,

let this cup pass? What did Jesus mean by that? Was Jesus at the last minute having

second thoughts? Was he thinking of backing out of this whole passion and

death for the salvation of the world?

Was he at the last second kind of saying,

Father, is there some other way we could save the world?

What is this prayer all about?

There's so much in this prayer,

not just for understanding what Jesus was going through at this moment,

but some profound lessons for us when God invites us to do something difficult,

when he challenges us with something something and we respond with a certain fear and trepidation.

And I want to get into this here because I'm so excited.

I've been telling you all about this for the last couple of months about this project I've been working on all through since the fall on a biblical walk through Christ's passion and I'm pleased to tell you it's coming out in just a couple of weeks.

In fact, it's available now for pre-order.

So if you're looking for something for Lent,

if you go to ascension press.com,

or you can go to my own website Edward Sree.

You can pre-order it now to have it in time for Lent.

So it's the book called No Greater Love,

a biblical walk through Christ's passion,
