In Under the Olive Tree, Olivia Spears invites you to the Mount of Olives to keep watch with Christ in His Agony in the Garden. Through Scripture, prayer, and reflection, you'll enter into this intimate moment in Jesus' life, discover the depth of His love, and allow Him to meet you in your own places of weariness, grief, uncertainty, and hope.

Together, you'll journey through Jesus' Agony in the Garden with Scripture, the Psalms, storytelling, sacred art, and guided prayer. As you linger with Him, you'll discover that surrender isn't something to fear—it's an invitation to trust in the Father's love, even when the way forward feels uncertain. Along the way, you'll encounter the mercy, strength, and tenderness of Christ in a deeply personal way.

You'll also be encouraged to spend time with Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration, responding to His invitation to "remain here and keep watch with me." Just as Jesus invited His disciples to stay near Him in the garden, He continues to invite you into a deeper relationship with Him today. In the quiet of prayer, you'll learn to bring Him your fears, surrender your worries, and rest in the presence of the One who loves you.

Whether you're longing for a deeper prayer life, seeking healing, navigating a difficult season, or simply desiring to spend more intentional time with Jesus, Under the Olive Tree offers a faithful companion for encountering Him through His Word and His presence. This is an invitation to slow down, draw near, and discover what it means to remain with Christ in every season of life.

May this journey into the garden become an invitation to let Jesus lovingly tend the garden of your own heart.
