Ye know not

Jesus said to them: You know not what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed?

In like manner, also, the Spirit helps our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us, with groanings unutterable.

You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your passions.

and he said: Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; let this cup pass from me: but not what I will, but what thou wiliest.

saying: Father, if thou art willing that this cup should pass from me yet, not my will, but thine be done.

Then Jesus said to Peter: Put up your sword into its scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup that my Father has given me?

Baptized with the
