The Prologue of Ohrid Mar 8

CONTEMPLATION

Contemplate the Lord Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane:

* How He repeatedly commanded the disciples to watch and pray to God;

* How He rose three times from His sweat-inducing prayer, returned to the disciples and found that they were asleep;

* How they were all overcome by temptation because they forsook their Teacher and fled, for they were not prepared to overcome their fear of men;

* How we, too, become lazy and are not vigilant and do not pray to God, for when temptation comes we forsake the Lord Christ.
