Padre Pio's beautiful and descriptive manner of writing provide a wonderful spiritual insight into that last night of Jesus's human life that will prove fruitful for meditation and deeply moving to all.<br /><br /><strong>Excerpt: </strong><br /><br /><em>\"Jesus has returned to His place of prayer, and another picture, more terrible than the first, presents itself to Him. All our sins with their entire ugliness parade before Him in every detail. He must clothe Himself with this entire unclean mass of human corruption and present Himself before the sanctity of His Father, to expiate everything with individual pains, to render Him all that glory of which they have robbed Him, to cleanse that human cesspool in which man wallows with contemptible indifference.</em><br /><br /><em>And all this does not make Him retreat. As a raging sea this mass inundates Him, enfolds Him, oppresses Him. Behold Him before His Father the God of Justice, facing the full penalty of divine justice. He, the essence of purity, sanctity by nature, in contact with sin, indeed, as if He Himself had become a sinner! Who can fathom the disgust that He feels in His innermost spirit? The horror He feels? The nausea, the contempt He senses so vividly? And having taken all upon Himself, nothing excepted, He is crushed by this immense weight, oppressed, thrown down, prostrated. Exhausted, He groans beneath the weight of Divine Justice, before His Father, Who has permitted His Son to offer Himself as a Victim for sin, as one accursed.\"</em></div>\n<div id=\"1b5809f7_1614789493\" class=\"powr-popup\">&nbsp;</div>\n<p>\n<script src=\"https://www.powr.io/powr.js?platform=bigcommerce\"></script>\n</p>\n<div id=\"e3dcb83f_1629827194\" class=\"powr-popup\">&nbsp;</div>\n<p>\n<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"https://www.powr.io/powr.js?platform=bigcommerce\"></script>\n</p>","tags":[],"warranty":"","price":{"without_tax":{"formatted":"$7.95","value":7.95,"currency":"USD"},"tax_label":"Tax","sale_price_without_tax":{"formatted":"$7.95","value":7.95,"currency":"USD"}},"height":"7.00","detail_messages":"","availability":"","page_title":"The Agony of Jesus","cart_url":"https://tanbooks.com/cart.php","max_purchase_quantity":0,"mpn":null,"upc":"9780895550972","options":[{"id":4492,"type":"Configurable_PickList_Set","display_name":"Format","required":true,"state":"variant_option","partial":"set-rectangle","condition":true,"values":[{"id":8855,"label":"Booklet","selected":true,"data":"Booklet"},{"id":8856,"label":"eBook","selected":false,"data":"eBook"},{"id":8857,"label":"MP3 Audio Download","selected":false,"data":"MP3 Audio Download"}]}],"related_products":[{"id":1530,"sku":"TE4332","name":"The Agony of Jesus (eBook)","url":"https://tanbooks.com/products/books/the-agony-of-jesus-ebook/","availability":"","rating":0,"brand":null,"category":["Books","Books/General ","Books/General /eBooks & Audiobooks"],"summary":"A true treasure of spiritual insights, this little booklet contains the remarkable meditations on the Agony of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane by Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, the stigmatist priest...","image":{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/1530/2522/2522__40761.1666799881.jpg?c=1","alt":"The Agony of Jesus (eBook)"},"images":[{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/1530/2522/2522__40761.1666799881.jpg?c=1","alt":"The Agony of Jesus (eBook)"}],"date_added":"Jul 22nd 2020","pre_order":false,"show_cart_action":true,"has_options":false,"stock_level":null,"low_stock_level":null,"qty_in_cart":0,"custom_fields":[{"id":46394,"name":"Product Format","value":"eBook"},{"id":46395,"name":"File URL","value":"0163-The-Agony-of-Jesus.epub"},{"id":58016,"name":"SEARCH_IGNORE","value":"true"}],"num_reviews":0,"weight":{"formatted":"0.00 LBS","value":0},"demo":false,"add_to_cart_url":"https://tanbooks.com/cart.php?action=add&product_id=1530","price":{"without_tax":{"currency":"USD","formatted":"$4.95","value":4.95},"sale_price_without_tax":{"currency":"USD","formatted":"$4.95","value":4.95},"tax_label":"Tax"},"add_to_wishlist_url":"/wishlist.php?action=add&product_id=1530"},{"id":3201,"sku":"TA9589","name":"The Agony of Jesus (MP3 Audio Download)","url":"https://tanbooks.com/products/books/the-agony-of-jesus-mp3-audio-download/","availability":"","rating":0,"brand":null,"category":["Books","Books/General ","Books/General /eBooks & Audiobooks"],"summary":"A true treasure of spiritual insights, this little booklet contains the remarkable meditations on the Agony of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane by Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, the stigmatist priest...","image":{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/3201/3551/3551__55808.1666799861.png?c=1","alt":"The Agony of Jesus (MP3 Audio Download)"},"images":[{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/3201/3551/3551__55808.1666799861.png?c=1","alt":"The Agony of Jesus (MP3 Audio Download)"}],"date_added":"Feb 14th 2021","pre_order":false,"show_cart_action":true,"has_options":false,"stock_level":null,"low_stock_level":null,"qty_in_cart":0,"custom_fields":[{"id":43652,"name":"Product Format","value":"MP3 Download"},{"id":43659,"name":"File URL","value":"The-Agony-of-Jesus-Audiobook.zip"},{"id":58628,"name":"SEARCH_IGNORE","value":"true"}],"num_reviews":0,"weight":{"formatted":"0.00 LBS","value":0},"demo":false,"add_to_cart_url":"https://tanbooks.com/cart.php?action=add&product_id=3201","price":{"without_tax":{"currency":"USD","formatted":"$4.95","value":4.95},"sale_price_without_tax":{"currency":"USD","formatted":"$4.95","value":4.95},"tax_label":"Tax"},"add_to_wishlist_url":"/wishlist.php?action=add&product_id=3201"},{"id":1945,"sku":"NP9095-GROUPED","name":"Jesus and Mary: The Lives of Jesus and Mary and the Story of Fatima","url":"https://tanbooks.com/products/books/jesus-and-mary-the-lives-of-jesus-and-mary-and-the-story-of-fatima/","availability":"","rating":4,"brand":null,"category":["Books","Books/Become a Saint/The Virgin Mary","Books/General "],"summary":"NOTE: The eBook edition of this title is currently only available in MOBI (Kindle) format. &nbsp;

A true treasure of spiritual insights, this little booklet contains the remarkable meditations on the Agony of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane by Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, the stigmatist priest. One of his few writings, the booklet also includes many pictures of Padre Pio from throughout his ministry. Padre Pio's beautiful and descriptive manner of writing provide a wonderful spiritual insight into that last night of Jesus's human life that will prove fruitful for meditation and deeply moving to all.

Excerpt:

"Jesus has returned to His place of prayer, and another picture, more terrible than the first, presents itself to Him. All our sins with their entire ugliness parade before Him in every detail. He must clothe Himself with this entire unclean mass of human corruption and present Himself before the sanctity of His Father, to expiate everything with individual pains, to render Him all that glory of which they have robbed Him, to cleanse that human cesspool in which man wallows with contemptible indifference.

And all this does not make Him retreat. As a raging sea this mass inundates Him, enfolds Him, oppresses Him. Behold Him before His Father the God of Justice, facing the full penalty of divine justice. He, the essence of purity, sanctity by nature, in contact with sin, indeed, as if He Himself had become a sinner! Who can fathom the disgust that He feels in His innermost spirit? The horror He feels? The nausea, the contempt He senses so vividly? And having taken all upon Himself, nothing excepted, He is crushed by this immense weight, oppressed, thrown down, prostrated. Exhausted, He groans beneath the weight of Divine Justice, before His Father, Who has permitted His Son to offer Himself as a Victim for sin, as one accursed."
