"He is able to give himself over without resentment to the demands of a love which will take his whole life. After his prayer in Gethsemane, he is able to do what he needs to do without the feeling that he is a victim. The Lord is victimized, but never a victim."
~ Ronald Rolheiser, from a meditation for Lent: Carry the Cross of Jesus; posted on The American Catholic Blog 3/15/2018
Only after praying is Jesus able to give himself over freely and without resentment.
Lord, please grant to me the gift to give of myself without resentment and with much love.
