Prima Statio – the First Station

Matthew 26:  36-41           Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane with Peter, James and John

Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 

He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 

Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. 

Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

From a garden we came
In a garden we dwell
Eternity could live in a garden,
If eternity is forever now.
Lord, make us ready 
For you.
If we do not come to you;
Come to us.
In all our days.
For one of them
Will be our last.

Dhiworth lowarth ni a dheuth
Hag oll trigys on yn lowarth.

Omma y hyll bywa trank heb worfenn
Mars yw trank heb worfen pupprys lemmyn.

A Duw, darbarewgh dhyn bos parys ragos.
Mar ny dheun dhis,
Deus dhyn.
Dres oll agan dydhyow
Drefenn onan a’n re na
Dhe vos agan diwettha
