ISB ~ Luke 22 v42

this chalice:An image of bitter suffering (Is 51:17; kilkJ Ezek 23:33).See note on Mt 20:22. not my will: Jesus never resists his appointed mission (Jn 4:34; 6:38). The Father answers this prayer, not by removing the Passion, but by strengthening the Son to endure it (Heb 5:7-9) (CCC 2824, 2849).

• As a man, Jesus recoils from the prospect of suffering. His anguish is intensified by his foresight, knowing that he will experience pain in his body and bear the dreadful weight of man’s sins on the Cross. Even still, Jesus is obedient unto death (Phil 2:8).
