Day 25: On the Passion of Christ: and, first on our Saviour in the garden of Gethsemani. "Consider, secondly, how our dear Saviour, under this anguish and sadness, betakes himself to prayer, as the only refuge under afflictions, the only shield in the day of battle. But take notice my soul, with what reverence he prays, prostrate on the ground, to his eternal Father, and with what fervour; "with a loud cry and tears," says the Apostle, Heb. v. 7. Learn then to im- itate him. In this prayer he condescended so far as to allow his inferior part to petition, that the cup of his bitter passion might be removed from him: but then he immediately added; "yet not my will, but thine be done" to teach us, under all trials and crosses, a perfect submission and resignation to the divine will."
