A Gospel way of the Passion
with
St Francis and St Clare
 
 

The agony in the garden

The Word:

Leaving there, he went, as he so often did, to Mount Olives. The disc:ples followed him. When they arrived at the place, he said, "Pray that you don't give in to temptation."
He pulled away from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and prayed, 'Father, remove this cup from me. But please, not what I want. What do you want?" At once an angel from heaven was at his side, strengthening him. He prayed on all the harder. Sweat, wrung from him like drops of blood, poured off his face.

Luke.22:39-44

Francis:

Nevertheless, he placed his will in the will of his Father, saying: Father, let your will be done; not as I will, but as you will. His Father's will was such that his blessed and glorious Son, whom he gave to us and who was born for us, should offer himself through his own blood as a sacrifice and oblation on the altar of the cross: not for himself through whom all things were made, but for sins, leaving us an example that we might follow his footprints.
And he wishes all of us to be saved through him.

Letter to all the Faithful

Clare:

Once it was the day of the Most Holy Supper on which our Lord loved his own unto the end. Towards evening, as the hour of the Lord's agony drew near, Clare, in sorrow and sadness, shut herself up in the seclusion of her cell. In prayer she followed the Lord in his prayer, and in soul sorrowful even unto death felt and shared the sorrow of Christ.
