Episode 37: In this episode, Fr. Henchey turns to the Agony in the Garden according to the Gospel of St. Luke which, while the shortest of the accounts, contains the richest expression of this great mystery. Through Luke, Fr. Henchey delves into the historic meaning of the word “agony” which referred to the strenuous striving of an athlete in competition. Yet, Christ’s agony was not the result of a physical exertion, but rather an internal spiritual one, and as a result, Luke uniquely notes that he “sweated blood.” (February 14, 2018)
