The Agony in the Garden, Christ sweating blood
in the Garden of Gethsemane, is one of the great
texts in Scripture. You'll find it in Luke 22, Matthew
26, and Mark 14. Many will know it as one of the
Sorrowful Mysteries of the rosary. It's also one of
the major Christian icons, one that's etched into
our psyche. That's because it's a deep text, one
loaded with meaning. I'd like to break open this
text a bit for us and show how Jesus' encounter
with this sacred space can be a key for our own
encounter with the sacred.
