This is Holy Family School of Faith.

So the first sorrowful mystery, the agony in the garden.

Jesus in this mystery, we see that he undergoes the same kind of anxieties and

worries in a much more intense way.

You know, one of the things that it's fortunate for us is that we can't see the future and we don't always know what's ahead

But our Lord he knew what was laying out in front of him. He knew through his divinity what he was going to experience and endure.

And so we see him in the Garden of Gasseni going through this tremendous anguish as a human being in every way that we do.

And perhaps at this moment, especially we can relate to this mystery and some of the anxiety in which he goes through.

As I mentioned, that Gospel Passage, the Holy Father used, showed Jesus asleep and was showing that he was totally at peace, totally

at calm in the midst of this storm. The disciples will see in this mystery are

asleep but they should have been up praying that they wouldn't be put to

the test and they weren't ready for that test. So as we pray in this mystery

let's bring whatever worries or anxieties that we might have at this time, concerns

that we might have for perhaps someone in our family has been diagnosed with the coronavirus.

Perhaps there's somebody that we know that is sick.

We're concerned, perhaps we, you are one of your relatives as a medical personnel they're on the front

lines of this. Let's bring all those concerns and let's pray especially for

researchers for those that are trying to find the vaccines and trying

to find the therapies for this.

The Holy Spirit will inspire them to be able to develop this vaccine and develop these therapies at record speed.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth

as it is in heaven.
