Maundy Thursday.
Fifth Day of the Great Week
whereon was instituted the Lord's Supper.
Office of Tenebrae.

At the Mount of Olives He prayed unto the Father:
O My Father, if it be possible,
let this cup pass from Me!
The spirit indeed is willing,
but the flesh is weak.

Watch and pray,
that ye enter not into temptation.
The spirit indeed is willing,
but the flesh is weak.
(Matins. Resp. 1.)









After watching with Him for 3 hours, the adoration comes to a close.
