Agony in the Garden (Mark 14:32-42)
The Rosary selects certain moments from the Passion, inviting the faithful to contemplate them in their hearts and to relive them. The sequence of meditations begins with
First Mystery
Then they came to a place named
Second Mystery
He advanced a little and fell to the ground and prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass by him.; he said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Take this cup away from me, but now what I will but what you will."
Third Mystery
When he returned, he found them asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour? Watch and pray that you may not undergo the test. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak."
Fourth Mystery
Withdrawing again, he prayed, saying the same thing. Then he returned once more and found them asleep, for they could not keep their eyes open and did not know what to answer him.
Fifth Mystery
He returned a third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of man is to be handed over to sinners. Get up, let us go. See, my betrayer is at hand."
