“This Prayer
speaks in the language of the Sacred Heart. (Imprimatur: local Bishop.
1963. San Giovanni Rotondo 1965, may suggest St. Padre Pio source).”
So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the
Son of man, then you will know that I am he. [John 8:28 ]
… Many believed in Jesus and some openly mocked him
when he warned them about their sin of unbelief. Jesus gives us the Holy Spirit
that we may have power to be his witnesses of Christ's Cross. Moving quickly
from controversy, on the Mount of Olives Jesus suffers his agony for all souls."
PRAYER TO JESUS, AGONISING ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
My soul is
sorrowful even unto death. Stay here and watch. (St. Mark
XIV-34).
O Jesus, through the abundance of Thy love, and in
order to overcome our hardheartedness, Thou pourest out torrents of Thy graces
over those who reflect on Thy most Sacred Sorrow in the Garden of
Gethsemane, and who spread devotion to it. I pray Thee, move my soul and
my heart to think often, at least once a day, of Thy most bitter Agony in
the Garden of Gethsemane, in order to communicate with Thee and
to be united with Thee as closely as possible.
O Blessed Jesus, Thou, who carried the immense burden
of our sins that night, and atoned for them fully; grant me the most perfect
gift of complete repentant love over my numerous sins, for which Thou didst
sweat blood.
O Blessed Jesus, for the sake of Thy most bitter
struggle in the Garden of
Gethsemane, grant me final victory over all
temptations, especially over those to which I am most subjected.
O suffering Jesus, for the sake of Thy inscrutable and
indescribable agonies, during that night of betrayal, and of Thy bitterest
anguish of mind, enlighten me, so that I may recognise and fulfil Thy will;
grant that I may ponder continually on Thy heart-wrenching struggle on how Thou
didst emerge victoriously, in order to fulfil, not Thy will, but the will of
Thy Father.
Be Thou blessed, O Jesus, for all Thy sighs on that
holy night; and for the tears which Thou didst shed for us.
Be Thou blessed, O Jesus, for Thy sweat of blood and
the terrible agony, which Thou didst suffer lovingly in coldest abandonment and
in inscrutable loneliness.
Be Thou blessed, O sweetest Jesus, filled with
immeasurable bitterness, for the prayer which flowed in trembling agony from
Thy Heart, so truly human and divine.
Eternal Father, I offer Thee all the past, present,
and future Masses together with the blood of Christ shed in agony in
the Garden of Sorrow at Gethsemane.
Most Holy Trinity, grant that the knowledge and
thereby the love, of the agony of Jesus on the Mount of Olives will
spread throughout the whole world.
Grant, O Jesus, that all who look lovingly at Thee on
the Cross, will also remember Thy immense Suffering on the Mount of Olives,
that they will follow Thy example, learn to pray devoutly and fight
victoriously, so that, one day, they may be able to Glorify Thee eternally in
Heaven. Amen.
PROMISES TO
DEVOTEES OF
THE AGONY OF
JESUS ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
Again and again calls of My Love flow from My
Heart. They fill the souls in which the fire of love lights up and
sometimes even sets ablaze the heart. It is this, the voice of My Heart,
which travels and also reaches those who do not want to hear Me, and who, therefore,
do not notice Me. However, inside of them I speak to all, and My Voice
will speak to all, because I love them all.
He, who knows the Commandment of Love is not surprised
that I cannot help knocking at the door of those who resist Me, and forced me,
so to speak, by their rejection, to repeat My loving invitation to them. Why,
what else can My calls be, full of flowing love, than the will of love of a
loving God. Who wants to save His Creatures? However, I know very
well, that not many wish to follow My generous invitation, and that even the
few who do accept, must strive hard to receive Me.
Well then! I shall show even more, generosity (as
if I had not been generous enough up to now), and I shall do this by giving all
of you a precious Gem of My Love. I have decided to open a dam, in order
to let flow the torrent of My Graces, which My Heart can no longer hold back.
Look what I have to offer you in return for a little
love from you:
1. To all those who remember My Agony, with love
and devotion, at least once a day; forgiveness of all sins and the certainty of
salvation for their souls in the hour of their death.
2. Total and everlasting repentance to those who
will have a Mass celebrated in honour of My AgonisingSuffering
in the Garden of Gethsemane.
3. Success in spiritual matters to all those, who
impress on others, love and devotion to My Agonies on the Mount of Olives.
4. Finally, and in order to prove to you that I
want to break open a dam of My Heart so as to let flow a flood of My Graces, I
promise those who spread this devotion to My agony in the Garden of Gethsemane,
the following three graces:
a Total
and final victory over the worst temptation to which they are subjected;
b. Direct
power to save poor souls from purgatory;
c. Great
enlightenment and strength to fulfil My Will.
All of these, My precious gifts, I will definitely
give to those who carry what I had said, and who, therefore, remember and
venerate with love and sympathy. My great, incomprehensible Agony on
the Mount of Olives.
