Let This Cup Pass Me By

Let This Cup Pass Me By

Laura Fanucci reads the account of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane (Mark 14:32-42), and we see how his own anguish relates to our grief. Today, as we listen to the Gospel about Jesus praying in Gethsemane, we might think about the times we too have prayed, “God, please let this pass me by. Please don’t let this happen to me!” But we might also remember times when we have prayed, “Not my will, but yours be done. If I can’t change this, please help me through it.”
