Day 321: Jesus’ Prayer in the Garden (2025)

Fr. Mike highlights how Jesus didn't pray in order get something from God, he prayed in order to be close to God. He also points to Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane as a perfect example of how we should pray with honesty and trust. Lastly, Fr. Mike provides insights on the significance of the walk to Emmaus and Jesus' last words on the cross. The readings are Luke 22:39-24:53 and Proverbs 26:20-23.

Support The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

Emerging Theme is a digital publication that attempts to merge academic theory with real-world events. The primary goal of the founder was to explore relevant theories and implications of global and local events. Second to that, we wanted to bring academia to the masses, making it accessible to those who do not have access to school — accessible academia. There’s no reason one should be locked out of education and critical thought simply because they are not or cannot go to school.

We are not a peer-reviewed publication, nor do we currently have the intention to be. Though our guests and editorial team have their own thoughts on the subjects at hand, our goal is to dive impartially into the material before producing an opinion, conclusion or recommendation — avoiding popular fallacies and pitfalls in reasoning.Our goal is simply to provide accurate, comprehensive perspectives, rooted in critical thought and academic rigor, to current events, their implications, and potential recommendations.
