Contemplation on the 6th hour of the Eve of Great Friday (2)

Posted on the November 18th, 2009 under Holy Pascha Week, Saint Ephraim the Syrian

"His sweat became like great drops of blood…" (Luke 22:44) 

He sweated to heal Adam who was sick. "It is by sweat of your brow," God said, "that you will eat your bread." (Gen 3:19) He remained in prayer in this garden to bring Adam back to his own garden again.
