First Sorrowful Mystery – The Agony of Jesus in the Garden

Product Description

The First Sorrowful Mystery – The Agony of Jesus in the Garden plaque depicts the events of Matthew 26:36-46. This dolomite plaque of The Agony of Jesus in the Garden is a vivid depiction of Jesus now agonizing to surrender himself unreservedly to the will of his Father. Jesus is now faced with a profoundly radical choice: save the human race or save himself. He chooses to be the savior of humanity, knowing full well that he will save them through his imminent and excruciating suffering and death. The Agony of Jesus in the Garden plaque is an especially fitting gift – especially as part of the complete set of plaques of the Mysteries of the Rosary – for a school, parish, convent or monastery.

The Agony of Jesus in the Garden Plaque – A Moving Labor of Love, Faith, and Hope

The Agony of Jesus in the Garden Plaque is 8.25 inches high, 6.75 inches wide, and 1 inch thick. It is designed to hang easily on any wall in a chapel, home, school, or office. A community of  religious sisters in cloister conceived, fashioned from dolomite stone and resin, and finished by hand this plaque in the atelier of their French monastery. Each sister prayerfully completes a specific task required for the completion of each plaque. How, where, and by whom the FAgony of Jesus in the Garden Plaque is testament of the fact that this plaque is indeed profoundly ”culturally authentic” – and a most moving labor of love, faith and hope!

The Agony of Jesus in the Garden – Matthew 26:36-46

Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.” Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.” When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing. Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
