Holy Week. I’m not ready. Not sure I have the strength. Not sure if I’m ready to think about more sacrifices. And I don’t want to think about the suffering you went through, Lord Jesus.

Christ and Judas, Light and Darkness

April 7, 2020 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

Christ and Judas Iscariot

In today’s gospel, we are presented with the contrast between Christ and Judas, light and darkness. Judas chooses the way of darkness and goes out into the night, inviting Satan to enter into his life. Christ, on the other hand, is the Savior who brings light into darkness and dispels evil.

Pope St. John Paul II:

Jesus Christ meets the man of every age, including our own, with the same words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” These words contain both a fundamental requirement and a warning: the requirement of an honest relationship with regard to truth as a condition for authentic freedom, and the warning to avoid every kind of illusory freedom, every superficial unilateral freedom, every freedom that fails to enter into the whole truth about man and the world.  (Redemptor Hominis No. 12)
