This book was the last that St. Thomas More wrote in the Tower of London before he was executed for standing firm in his Catholic faith. In it, he explores the Gospel passages that depict the agony of Our Lord in the Garden of Gethsemane. He depicts Christ as a model of virtue in the face of suffering and persecution. And along the way, he includes valuable and eternally relevant reflections on prayer, courage, friendship, statesmanship, and more. Here is an excellent resource for Lent or anytime!

reviewed Sadness of Christ on February 19, 2018 Sadness of Christ
This is a book of meditations on Christ's agony in the garden of Gethsemane which St Thomas More composed in the Tower of London. St Thomas wrote several books during his imprisonment, but this was his last.
It is clear that More has spent a great deal of time meditating and praying about the example of Christ in facing martyrdom.
Two items of particular note:
First, unlike some martyrs, St Thomas was greatly afflicted with fear and sorrow. He overcame these temptations by following the example of Christ in Gethsemane: "Remain awake and pray that you may not fall prey to temptation"
Second, Thomas prayed very earnestly for King Henry VIII, and the counselors who put him to death. Certain portions of this book read as though they were written by More to his friend, the king, urging him not to despair of God's mercy; that repentance was possible even after killing St. Thomas.
