\nMark 14:32-42<\/a>
\nThey went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, \u201cSit here while I pray.\u201d He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. \u201cMy soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,\u201d he said to them. \u201cStay here and keep watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. \u201cAbba, Father,\u201d he said, \u201ceverything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. \u201cSimon,\u201d he said to Peter, \u201care you asleep? Couldn\u2019t you keep watch for one hour? Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once more he went away and prayed the same thing. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him.<\/p>\n

Returning the third time, he said to them, \u201cAre you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!\u201d<\/p>\n

 
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

 
\nPsalm 22:2<\/a>
\nMy God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,
\nby night, but I find no rest.<\/p>\n

 
\nJohn 16:20-22 <\/a>
\nVery truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. So with you: now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.<\/p>\n\n

Prayer for Holy Week<\/h3>\n

Jesus said,
\n\u201cCan you be baptised with the baptism I must be baptised with?\u201d<\/p>\n

Lord, we seek to feel your sadness,
\nwe seek to share your tears.<\/strong><\/p>\n

O Christ, help us to become one with you.
\nIn your defenceless love,
\n    teach us the grace of self-offering.
\nIn your weakness,
\n    teach us the grace of acceptance.
\nIn your betrayal,
\n    teach us the grace of forgiveness.
\nIn your testings,
\n    teach us the grace of believing.<\/p>\n
