SCRIPTURES & ART: Judas clung to his sin, but St. Peter recognized his need for forgiveness.

The other clung to his sin, refused to ask forgiveness of the only one capable of fixing his problem and, in his pride, hung himself. It is interesting that, in his Gospel Luke makes the observation that, after having unsuccessfully tempted Jesus in the desert, the devil “departed from him for a time” (4:13). Her insistence and the support of others triggers the rest of Peter’s fervent denials. Earlier in John (9:4), in connection with healing the man born blind, Jesus reminds us that work — his work, God’s work — must be done during the day because, “when night comes, no man can work.” Nicodemus came to Jesus at night (John 2:2) and Jesus tells him that, though he had come into the world, “men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil” (2:19). John reports Jesus making predictions about the failure of two of his Apostles. The Gospels for Mass on the first days of Holy Week set the stage (albeit not necessarily chronologically) for the immediate events leading to Jesus’ Passion and Death.

A Reflection for Tuesday of Holy Week, by Jill Rice.

Although we betray and deny Jesus, we can repent of our sins and turn back to him again and again. Instead of blaming others, we have to take responsibility for our actions that crucify Jesus every day: our sins. But when Jesus says “one of you will betray me,” I fear he should have said more than just “one” of you—”all of you will betray me” is much more accurate. We know that due to our tendency to sin, we, who, like Judas, know and love Jesus as a friend and savior, will betray him at some point. I have a tendency to look at what Judas is about to do and judge him harshly for it—he is betraying the Son of God who is his friend and whom he has followed for years. It’s not like he is a random Roman centurion who stands watch as Jesus is crucified; he has made this decision with the knowledge of who Jesus is, of his mercy and forgiveness, of his fulfillment of the prophecies of old.

The name actually derives from the Gospel reading for today in which Judas Iscariot betrays Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.
