Episode 29: Theologians have put forward three theories to explain the meaning of Christ's agony in the Garden: a natural human reaction to the anticipation of pain and death, a psychological and spiritual (mystical) distress at the total abandonment by the Father, and the effects of the great spiritual combat that Jesus undertook for us all. In this reflection, Fr. Henchey examines and pros and cons of the first two theories, ultimately showing that no one explanation can ever fully explain the great sacrifice of self-abandonment Christ made to save all of us for all time.
