“Amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” - Matthew 26:21
The Triduum is about to start - the three most intense, holiest days of our faith. And they begin with betrayal. For Jesus, the die is cast when he eats the Passover meal with his disciples. Within 24 hours, he will be dead. While it is Judas that Jesus refers to as his betrayer he could also be talking about any one of the Twelve, as they all will desert him. For that matter, he could be talking about any one of US. And he is, for it is also OUR sins which he will carry to the cross. The Good News is that he DID carry our sins to the Cross. Through his love and mercy, we are given the opportunity to repent. If you haven't had a chance yet, drop into a church somewhere for Confession. At least in Dallas, all parishes will be offering Reconciliation tonight through Bishop Farrell's "The Light is On For You" program. And prepare yourself for the Triduum.
