Courage was the theme of Thursday's meditation (Read it here)
"Bless me, I pray, with the courage of Gethsemane"
This is courage of a different order.
It is not the courage of the popular super-hero.
It is not the courage of Indiana Jones.
It is not the courage of Braveheart.
This is the courage that faces betrayal and denial.
This is the courage that trusts in God even when God seems absent.
This is the courage that says "Your will not mine be done."
This is not brash and forceful bravado.
This is the courage that is deep rooted in faith.
This is the courage of Christ.
"Bless me, I pray, with the courage of Gethsemane."
Give me the courage to ask such a blessing.
