Our Father in Gethsemane

SJ Francis P. Donnelly

Description

Originally published in 1935, this volume offers a variety of spiritual counsels and reflections; these are arranged on a framework of the phrases of the Our Father, giving special attention to the sufferings of Our Lord in His Passion. A wide-ranging treatment, perfect for visits to the Blessed Sacrament, prayers after Mass and daily meditation. This book touches on the topics of sin, divine love, suffering, justice, forgiveness, and many more, concluding each topic with an original prayer. Plus, it is embellished with a generous selection of pious verses and traditional Catholic prayers. Also included here is John Cardinal Newman's powerful meditation on the Mental Sufferings of Our Lord in His Passion, as well as a paraphrase of the Our Father by St. Francis of Assisi and another paraphrase from the Divine Comedy of Dante. THE OUR FATHER IN GETHSEMANE is a book that can be picked up and read on any page to provide a spirit of devotion in visits to the Blessed Sacrament, at Mass and in our daily life.

Counsels for our good have enlightened us
And the teaching of God has schooled us,
And so we make bold to say,
Our Father.
CANON OF THE MASS
HESE thoughts for the Holy Hour (see Appendix ) are a development of the Our Father, as the writer’s Holy Hour in Gethsemane is a development of the Anima Christi . The meditations are not directed to the Blessed Sacrament as in Watching an Hour , but treat of the sufferings of Our Lord. He is conceived as living and enacting the Our Father in His Agony, and each phrase of Our Lord’s Prayer is expanded and applied to the Passion. These meditations appeared originally in the Messenger of the Sacred Heart through the kindness of its editor.
It is usual, although not necessary, to have four periods in the Holy Hour, the last quarter given to Benediction or to the Rosary. The other three quarters have each a consideration, a short reflection and a hymn if the hour is made in public. The thoughts are here divided into three parts for the convenience of such an arrangement. In private devotions there is no fixed order. The verses interspersed may be grouped if sung in public. They are all written in the measure of Tantum Ergo and may be sung to its airs or to other similar airs. The ejaculations and prayers on the inserted leaves are all indulgenced and are taken from the Raccolta .
The book is suited to mental prayer, to visits to the Blessed Sacrament and to Mass.
There have been many developments of the Our Father. The Catechism of the Council of Trent has an excellent discussion and will suggest further thoughts if so desired. Cf. Translation by McHugh, O.P. and Callan, O.P. No use of the Catechism has been made here.

Summary
   I        Our Father, Who Art in Heaven
Paternal Love: Father in agonies; Father beginning and ending Passion; Father in death.— Fraternal Love: Brother in manhood, in Mary, in restored image of God, in parables.— Eternal Love: Heaven won by Jesus, lifting the Redeemed to God but denying Himself the beatific vision through life.
  II        Hallowed Be Thy Name
By All: By Heaven, by Mary in Magnificat, by the Passion, by the good Thief and by all followers of Jesus.— In All: By Jesus, day and night, in every act. Above All: Above human pride, above the pain of humiliation, above shattering disappointments.
III      Thy Kingdom Come
Cause of the King: The Kingdom is lovable, is precious, is justly due. — Conquest of the King: Kingdom won with the fortitude of Jesus, under the Standard of His Heart, through victorious prayer.— Character of the King: Kingdom by right of inheritance and ownership, by right of all kingly virtues, by the cooperation of followers.
   IV     Be It Done
Fiat of Creation: God’s making of the world, of bodies and souls, calls for obedience; Jesus obeys in body by pain and in soul by fulfilling God’s Commandments.— Fiat Of Redemption: Jesus fulfills God’s will generously and overflowing for justice and exemplifies the counsels for love.— Fiat of Sanctification: The Holy Spirit sums up sanctity in God’s will, exemplifies sanctity in Jesus suffering, consoles sanctity by His Presence, as He did in Mary’s Fiat .
    V      Thy Will Be Done on Earth as It Is in Heaven
The Ideal: Jesus fulfills the will of God in His Incarnation, His life, His death; Jesus asks in return gratitude, reparation, love.— The Ideal Realized: Heaven realizes God’s will in glorified bodies, in glorified souls, in the white sanctity of those saved by Jesus.— The Real Idealized: Man’s thoughts mind, will, heart and all actions are idealized by being formed like those of Jesus in Agony.
   VI    Give Us This Day
Private Prayer: Jesus model of private prayer of agonizing prayer, of intention and attention in prayer.— Public Prayer: On important occasions in the life of Jesus, in the sacramentals and sacraments of the Church, in the Sacrifice of the Mass.— Persevering Prayer: With Jesus in weariness of body, in weariness of mind, in weariness of will.
VII      Our Daily Bread
Bread of Body: Praying in need, with meritorius hope in wan
