神父講道 – 山園祈禱 (週五) (2011年8月12日) – 在耶路撒冷

恭讀聖路加福音 22:39-46
耶穌出來,照常往橄欖上去,門徒也跟著去了。
到了那地方,耶穌便給他們說:「你們應該祈禱,免得陷於誘惑。」
遂離開他們,約有投石那麼遠, 屈膝祈禱,
說:「父啊!你如果願意,請給我免去這杯吧! 但不要隨我的意願,惟照你的意願成就吧!」
有一位天使,從天上顯現給衪,加強衪的力量。
衪在極度恐慌中,祈禱越發懇切; 衪的汗如同血珠滴在地上。
衪從祈禱中起來,來到門徒那裏,看見他們都因憂悶睡著了,
就給他們說:「你們怎麼睡覺呢﹖起來祈禱吧! 免得陷於誘感。」
—基督的福音。

(Agony in the Garden)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 22:39-46

39 Then going out he went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. 40When he arrived at the place he said to them, “Pray that you may not undergo the test.”z 41 After withdrawing about a stone’s throw from them and kneeling, he prayed,a 42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done.”b *[43 And to strengthen him an angel from heaven appeared to him. 44 He was in such agony and he prayed so fervently that his sweat became like drops of blood falling on the ground.] 45When he rose from prayer and returned to his disciples, he found them sleeping from grief. 46He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not undergo the test.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
