able joy wherewith thy soul was filled when at length thou didst find thy dearly beloved Son in the Temple, teaching in the midst of the Doctors, obtain of Him that we may so seek Him and find Him in His holy Catholic Church as never more to be separated from Him. Amen.
THE FIVE SORROWFUL MYSTERIES
(1) The Prayer and Bloody Sweat of Our Blessed Saviour in the Garden
Let us contemplate, in this Mystery, how our Lord Jesus was so afflicted for us in the Garden of Gethsemani that His Body was bathed in a bloody sweat, which ran down in great drops to the ground.
Our Father. Hail Mary, ten times. Glory be to the Father, etc.
LET US PRAY
O Holy Virgin, more than martyr, by that ardent prayer which our beloved Saviour poured forth to His Heavenly Father, vouchsafe to intercede for us, that, our passions being subjected to the obedience of reason, we may always, and in all things, conform and subject ourselves to the holy will of God. Amen.
