Two Prayers of Christ: Grief

As he begins the journey to the cross, Jesus is overwhelmed by the task ahead of him. In the garden of Gethsemane, he cries out to the Father to take the cup of suffering from him. The grief and anguish of Christ are fueled by the knowledge of what lies before him. As we begin Holy Week, we stop to look deeply at the cup of suffering Jesus drank on our behalf.
