13. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me. How touching! How humble! How plaintive! His petition is not so much that the cup should pass away untrained, but that he should be sustained while drinking it, and set free from its power at the first fitting moment. He seeks deliverance and help, and he entreats that the help may not be slow in coming. Our Lord was heard in that he feared, for there was after Gethsemane a calm endurance which made the fight as glorious as the victory.
