One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at Jesus\u2019 side. So Simon Peter nodded to him to find out whom he meant. He leaned back against Jesus\u2019 chest and said to him, \u201cMaster, who is it?\u201d Jesus answered, \u201cIt is the one to whom I hand the morsel after I have dipped it.\u201d So he dipped the morsel and took it and handed it to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot. After Judas took the morsel, Satan entered him. So Jesus said to him, \u201cWhat you are going to do, do quickly.\u201d Now none of those reclining at table realized why he said this to him. Some thought that since Judas kept the money bag, Jesus had told him, \u201cBuy what we need for the feast,\u201d or to give something to the poor. So Judas took the morsel and left at once. And it was night. When he had left, Jesus said, \u201cNow is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him at once. My children, I will be with you only a little while longer. You will look for me, and as I told the Jews, \u2018Where I go you cannot come,\u2019 so now I say it to you.\u201d Simon Peter said to him, \u201cMaster, where are you going?\u201d Jesus answered him, \u201cWhere I am going, you cannot follow me now, though you will follow later.\u201d Peter said to him, \u201cMaster, why can I not follow you now?\u00a0I will lay down my life for you.\u201d Jesus answered, \u201cWill you lay down your life for me? Amen, amen, I say to you, the cock will not crow before you deny me three times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Come, Holy Spirit, open my heart to hear what you want me to hear. Help me to draw close to Christ always.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li><strong>Worth The Cost?:<\/strong> Judas\u2019 betrayal was spiteful and greedy. He had been looking for an opportunity to hand Jesus over so he could collect his meager thirty pieces of silver (cf. Mt 26:14-16). When we reflect on Judas\u2019 betrayal, we can ask ourselves when we have betrayed Our Lord through our sins. What do we have to gain when we sin? Is it momentary pleasure, a fleeting grasp at money or power, or simply foolish pride? No matter what momentary gain we think we receive, it is never worth the cost of the pain it causes Jesus, others, and ourselves.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Law of the Gift: <\/strong>As soon as Judas left, Jesus announced, \u201cNow is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him\u201d (Jn 13:31). Christ was glorified when his Passion had begun, the hour when he offered his Blood to save us from our sins. God the Father was also glorified in Christ\u2019s Passion because the Son obediently did his will. God the Father sent Jesus to die for our sins; this was Christ\u2019s mission. Jesus spoke earlier of glorifying God the Father through his death: \u201cUnless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit\u201d (Jn 12:24). This is the Law of the Gift. Christ gave his life for us in the ultimate act of self-giving love. We too live by the Law of the Gift, for we are most fulfilled when we lovingly give ourselves to others. St. Paul VI wrote: \u201cMan [\u2026] cannot fully find himself except through a sincere gift of himself\u201d (<em>Gaudium et Spes<\/em>, 24).\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Draw Close to Christ:<\/strong> Peter\u2019s denial later in the Passion narrative was driven by fear (cf. Mt 26:69-75). He desired to follow Jesus even unto death: \u201cI will lay down my life for you\u201d (Jn 13:37), but Peter\u2019s fear caused him to distance himself from Jesus. Peter felt threatened, so he disguised his Christian identity by denying Christ; he even cursed and swore to prove it. Notice how St. John drew so close to Christ that \u201che leaned back against Jesus\u2019 chest\u201d (Jn 13:25) at the Last Supper. He was also the only Apostle that stayed with Jesus through his entire Passion. Who do we choose to imitate this Holy Week? Peter, who was ashamed of being \u201ctoo Christian,\u201d or John who always remained close to his Savior?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ: <\/strong>Jesus, may I never betray or deny you, but instead always draw ever closer to you. I know that, with you near me, guiding me day by day, I can learn to give myself to others through acts of selfless love. Help me die to myself so that it is no longer I who live, but you who live in me (cf. Gal 2:20).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will offer an act of selfless love for someone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carey Boyzuck is a wife, mother, freelance writer, and a lay member of Regnum Christi.
