Hi friend, welcome to Through
the Thorns, a Lenten devotional
2
:written by yours truly, Mari Wagner.
3
:And throughout this devotional,
we will be meditating on the
4
:different sorrowful mysteries of
the Rosary every Tuesday of Lent.
5
:Um, and really we're going to be
entering into Jesus's passion and love.
6
:Way of the cross in a more personal and
intimate way through Ignatian meditation.
7
:This is an imaginative form of prayer that
really allows us to enter into a scene and
8
:maybe meet Jesus in a more intimate way.
9
:So all you have to do today and throughout
these meditations is show up, um, open
10
:your heart and quiet your mind, um,
and really just allow God to work.
11
:I'm going to be leading us on these
meditations and you're encouraged to
12
:pray a rosary afterwards, reflecting
on the sorrowful mysteries and
13
:just taking today's meditation,
to heart as you pray, your rosary.
14
:Now on this first week of Lent, we
are praying with the agony in the
15
:garden and I encourage you if you're
able to, uh, to go to a comfortable
16
:place where it's quiet and you have
the freedom to just close your eyes.
17
:Maybe open your hands to receive
all God has for you today.
18
:Maybe you lay down, or sit down
in a prayer chair, but really just
19
:encourage you to find a place that
you can be comfortable and prayerful.
20
:All right, let's get started.
21
:In the name of the Father and
the Son and the Holy Spirit.
22
:Amen.
23
:Take a few deep breaths, inhale, exhale,
24
:close your eyes, and ask the Holy
Spirit to open your heart as we
25
:journey into the Garden of Gethsemane.
26
:Picture yourself walking besides Jesus.
27
:It's nighttime and the garden is
dark, only lit by the faint glow of
28
:the moon and scattered stars and you
can feel the cool air on your skin.
29
:There's a breeze and you can hear the
rustling of the leaves in the wind.
30
:Maybe you have chills on your
arms from the cold and you're
31
:walking in silence next to the
Lord and you sense this heaviness.
32
:This in the air, this
heaviness in Jesus's heart.
33
:He looks at you and asks you to stay and
pray with him for a while, but something
34
:is different about him this time.
35
:This time his eyes look sorrowful
and he seems a bit unsettled.
36
:He moves a short distance away to
pray on his own, but you can hear his
37
:prayers catching a few sentences here
and there, and you hear him calling
38
:out to the father saying, Abba, Father,
all things are possible for you.
39
:Take this cup from me, yet not
my will, but yours be done.
40
:You wonder what he might be in
anguish about, what he might be
41
:asking the father to take away.
42
:You're kneeling nearby and just watching
him, noticing the anguish that is etched
43
:on his face, the way his body is trembling
under the weight of what's to come.
44
:Just allow yourself to feel the
intensity of this moment as he falls
45
:to the ground in prayer, prostrating
himself in front of the Lord, his
46
:tears streaming down his face.
47
:You can see his heart is deeply
moved yet deep in anguish.
48
:His love for you is so great
that he willingly embraces
49
:the suffering that is to come.
50
:Suddenly you notice his sweat
turning into drops of blood.
51
:The way of the world's sin is
pressing down on him, and yet he
52
:continues to pray, continues to
surrender, calling out to the Father.
53
:What do you feel as you witness this?
54
:What do you hear him say to the Father?
55
:Can you feel this heaviness in his heart?
56
:Yet this deep trust that
he has for God's plan.
57
:Jesus rises from his prayer and
begins walking back towards you.
58
:And as he walks back, he meets your eyes.
59
:You notice he looks
exhausted but determined.
60
:What does he say to you?
61
:What do you want to say to him?
62
:How can you unite your sufferings and
anxieties of the future to Jesus's
63
:heart in this night in the garden?
64
:Let us pray.
65
:I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
creator of heaven and earth, and
66
:in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our
Lord, who was conceived by the Holy
67
:Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was
68
:crucified, died, and was buried.
69
:He descended into hell, and on the
third day, he rose again from the dead.
70
:He ascended into heaven and
is seated at the right hand
71
:of God, the Father Almighty.
72
:From there he will come to
judge the living and the dead.
73
:I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy
Catholic Church, the communion of saints,
74
:the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection
of the body, and life everlasting.
75
:Amen.
76
:For the intentions of our Holy Father,
Pope Francis, and all the priests.
77
:Our Father, who art in
heaven, hallowed be thy name.
78
:Thy kingdom come, thy will be
done, on earth as it is in heaven.
79
:Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses, as we
80
:forgive those who trespass against us.
81
:And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
82
:Amen.
83
