S13E03: The Patience of Christ

Today's Daily Decade, for the Feast of Pope S. Hyginus, offers prayers for Stuka and Teresa, who have separately begged prayers on behalf of recalcitrant and unbelieving family members. We beg the intercession of the Holy Angels Michael and Gabriel, and the Holy Guardian Angels. Today's reflection looks to the prefigures of Christ in the Old Testament prophets, particularly their universal struggle with patience for the stiff-necked and constantly rebellious Hebrew race, and how the recalcitrance of Mankind shapes Our Lord's Agony in the Garden.
