Sorrowful Mystery - 1

The 1st Sorrowful Mystery of the Holy Rosary is the Agony in the Garden.



Go to dark Gethsemane,
ye that feel the tempter's power;
your Redeemer's conflict see,
watch with him one bitter hour.
Turn not from his griefs away;
learn of Jesus Christ to pray.

Watching and praying is at the heart of the Season of Advent - we should keep our feasting and merrymaking for Christmas.

However, for those of us living in Scotland, today is very much a day for feasting and merrymaking - as we are observing it as St Andrew's Day.

Happy Feast!
