6th Hour of Friday Eve⁣ “By saying then, “If it be possible, let it pass from me,” he showed his true humanity. But by saying, “Nevertheless not as I will, but as you will,” he showed his virtue and selfcommand. This too teaches us, even when nature pulls us back, to follow God. In order to make clear that he is truly God and truly human, words alone would not suffice…So he joined deeds with words…even [the] highly contentious may believe that he both became man and died”-St John Chrysostom
