Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Window of one round headed lancet light.

Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane (Mount of Olives) as he senses with foreboding his coming death. He is radiating the cruciform halo. The three crosses in the background reference the impending crucifixion. The rays of light and the angel were sent from God to strengthen him.

Inscription:
The text reads “Pater, transit a me calixiste: non mea voluntas sed tua fiat” (translation: “Father, if it is your will, take this cup from me, nevertheless not my will but yours be done.” A.V. Luke 22:42)

Dedication:
“Of your charity pray for the repose of the soul of Father Peter McPhillips S.J who died in Glasgow August 20th 1935. This window is a tribute from the Sodalities and the many who benefitted by his jurisdictions R.I.P.”
