English to Spanish Art/Literary Religion bautismo

Christ was saying: Are you able to drink of the bitter cup of which I am now about to drink so deep, and to be baptized with the baptism, and plunged into that sea of sufferings with which I am shortly to be baptized, and, as it were, ***overwhelmed*** for a time?
If our Lord intended the ordinance of baptism to exhibit an image of the ***overwhelming*** sorrows of his soul, in the garden and on the cross, his intention is frustrated by the change of immersion into sprinkling!
