The Precious Blood of Jesus, Part XV
Jesus in his anguish prayed earnestly, for all of us in the Garden of Gethsamane
Luke 22:44 (NJB): In his anguish he prayed even more earnestly, and his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood. Jesus was willing to spill his blood on his own volition, as was the purpose of the Heavenly Father. The agony of passion has intensified in Jesus' heart. That is why the blood was dripping from his body through the sweat. We should pray earnestly for souls, just as Jesus did. The saints are doing the same thing in their contemplation, praying for the souls. Many live saints are praying sincerely, and unwittingly, to fulfill our Lord's purpose. Saints also like becoming martyrs in order to resemble Christ in their lives. They performed this deed with full commitment to convey their love for Christ, their master and inspiration. Many people find life in Christ via the blood of martyrs. The saints are the flowers in the Heavenly Garden of our Lord Jesus Christ.
