In monte Oliveti by Juozas Naujalis — Lyrics
In monte Oliveti oravit ad Patrem:
Pater, si fieri potest, transeat a me calix iste:
Spiritus quidem promptus est, caro autem infirma. Fiat voluntas tua.

About In monte Oliveti
The words of this motet paint a vivid scene from the Garden of Gethsemane, as Christ prays to his Father, "Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me." The text expresses the human struggle between the willingness of the spirit and the weakness of the flesh, ultimately submitting to divine will. Naujalis's setting for SATB choir captures the solemnity and emotional weight of this profound moment. The Latin text, drawn from the Gospels, lends a sacred character to this devotional work, making it a powerful choice for liturgical settings or concerts of sacred music.
