The Cup

overwhelmed

I lay face down
numbed by agony
desperately searching for
another possible alternative

to accomplish My Merciful

Mission while being bathed 

in streams of torment which

conflicts My Heart with an

unrestrained aversion for
what I know is coming

made even more burdensome

by the images of countless souls

vehemently rejecting My out-

stretched Hand as they plunge 

into the eternal fires... yet... Grace 

enables Me to set My Face like 

flint in resolute determination to 

descend into the valley of the 

shadow of death reserved in 

silent acceptance while oozing 

Redemption in a Passionate 

Embrace burnishes My Soul 

without compromise by no longer 

grasping at any resourceful reprieve..

so...alone in company...fighting the 

deceitful temptation of abandonment 

from above the burden drowns Me in

Victorious Defeat and by consuming 

the bitter Cup steels My resolve for 

the many hearts now and still to come 

who will Surrender to Salvation's Gift

in a Vision Trusting My Father

for the Triumphant Outcome

Reflection/Discussion:

-How does "The Cup" describe Jesus' experience in the garden?
-How does "The Cup"  show Jesus' humanity?
-What does "conflicts Me into a torment oozing Redemption" mean?
-What does "victorious defeat" mean?
-How can Jesus' experience in the garden be an integral part of your prayer life?
-What us meant by "abandoned from above"?
-What is the "Triumphant Outcome" spoken about?
