The Catholic Church has been commemorating Holy Week Wednesday, which was spied on Wednesday since the earliest times.
Judas’ betrayal deserves full attention as he prepares to remember Christ’s passion and death on Good Friday. It is important that Judas’s memory of betrayal serves as a warning to all, and that it is important to have its own memorial on weekdays, traditionally related to frustration.
“They weighed 30 silver in my wages.”
The priests were actively looking for ways to grasp Jesus without causing a riot. As they deliberated, Judas suddenly appeared and looked for the audience.
“The chief priest and scribe asked how to kill Jesus, but they feared the people,” writes Don Prospect Guerlanger, the late French Abbott and author of the comprehensive 15-volume series..”
“And Satan entered Judas, one of the twelve men, named Iscariot, and he paid tribute to the priest and the magistrate, how could he betray him?
“They admitted him, and he said to them, “What should you give me, and shall I deliver him to you?” (from Matthew 26:15) Guéranger wrote. “They are pleased with this proposition, but have the doctors of law forgotten that all this infamous bargain between themselves and Judas were prophesied by David in the 108th poem sal?

“They know the Bible from start to finish. How does it come?” writes Guéranger. “They have forgotten the words of the prophet.
Thirty silver was the price of a regular slave. This shameful amount of bargain is mentioned in Zechariah 11:12. The prophet’s words would have been clear to these people who opposed Jesus, but they were prepared to carry out the most serious crimes in history and did not give them a pause.
“On this day, Judas leaves his master and takes the devil to his guide,” writes Guéranger. “The love of money blinds him. He fell out of the light and he became dark.
According to Jewish historian Josephus, there were around 2.7 million people in Jerusalem to celebrate Passover. The people welcomed Jesus as king in Palm Sunday, and when he rode Jerusalem with a donkey, he placed his cloak and palm branches along the road.
Jesus decided to eat Passover with the apostle. There he wanted Judas’ plot in a way that he chose a place to eat Passover.
“It’s hard to talk about this kind of thing. Who can hold it down?”
“Our Lord knows that Judas is selling him and is about to betray him. “Our Lord is now beginning to block his plans.”
How does our Lord do that? He tells some of his disciples that he enters the city. Ask him, where did he prepare the house for Passover meals? The disciples entered the city. They found a man holding a pot of water on his head. Why did our Lord use that particular sign?
Well, because men don’t carry a pot of water to their heads. The woman carries a pot of water on her head. It’s like going to town and finding a guy carrying a pink umbrella. So the disciples then found the man who had prepared the upper room. Therefore, Judas had no idea where he was being led. Our Lord will desire a final meal with the apostles, and Judas must come with him.

Why did Judas plan to betray his Savior and go on his spy mission? Sheen said that the general theory is that Judas succumbed to greed. However, despite this evidence from the Bible, Sheen stated that the downfall of Iscariot’s faith occurred when Christ introduced the Holy Eucharist while teaching at the Synagogue of Capernaum.
“In truth, unless you eat the flesh of a man’s son and drink blood, you will bring you life, and anyone who drinks my blood will have eternal life. I will raise him on the last day. My flesh is real food. My blood is a real drink.
This core mystery of the Catholic faith has become an insurmountable stumbling block for Judas and other followers of Christ. Father William Patrick Casey of the Father of Mercy.
“Jesus said this many times and again, and the Jews heard him,” Father Casey said in a popular audio lecture on the Holy Eucharist. “They knew what he was saying, but it was too much for them. It was too much for even some of his own disciples. They couldn’t believe it. He said, “If you eat the flesh of a man’s son and drink his blood, you have no life in you.” ”
Archbishop Sheen places the beginning of Judas’ fall in Capernaum on this day.
“Where is the first mention of Judas’ fall?” Sheen asked in one of his audio talks. “The day our Lord unveiled the Eucharist. When did Judas leave? The night our Lord gave the Eucharist. He broke the Eucharist. In fact, it was a crucial moment in our blessed Lord’s life.
On his final evening up, Jesus asked Judas to sit close to him.

“Christ chose Judas as his apostle,” Sheen said. “He did not choose to make him a traitor, but he chose to become an apostle.”
Judas was cited a sign with Brigand grabbing Jesus in the olive garden: kiss.
“Can those who are sent to capture him be able to distinguish him from his disciples?” asked Guéranger. “Judas leads the way. He shows him that he is Jesus.
Judas thought that when the soldiers came to capture him, Christ was a cowardly retreating back to the Olive Grove. But when death came for Christ that night, he went out with it in his face.
Judas’ betrayal was not a kiss of peace or friendship.
“The Lord came forward, and Judas got his arm and threw it around the Lord’s neck,” Sheen said. “And the Greek word for the gospel is καταφ. He Suffocation He kissed. Divinity is so sacred and is always betrayed by signs of affection. And our Lord says, “Friend, will you betray the human son with a kiss?” ”
In a traditional calendar, the church maintains the speed at which he died on Wednesday in spying.
“What a sight! Christ was betrayed by one of his apostles and handed over to his enemy,” Dom Baul wrote in a reflection published in the Popular Companion.”Benedictus.“The act squealed with inability, hypocrisy and depth of evidence. The law was made even more despicable by the fact that it was done for money.”
Baul said that interests are high for all Christians who ignore faith and chase after secular interest.
“In many cases, they abandon religion and ignore the sacrament,” he wrote. “What remains of them from all the temporary benefits they may gain? They will soon prove to be empty. This discovery has brought Judas to despair.”
