Could it be me, Lord?
Five days before Easter, the Gospel presents to us the atmosphere which reigned at the Last Supper. it was gloomy. Jesus announces his betrayal by one of his disciples without specifying the name. There is panic around Christ. Is it me, Lord? It will, of course, be Judas Iscariot. In our midst are Judah-Christians who profess faith in Christ every day. Let us work to build an honest relationship with Jesus and with others (Jn 8:31-32)
Furthermore, despite his wish, Peter will fail to defend Christ.
Following Christ in his passion is not a matter of our purely human abilities, but of the opening of our heart to his grace, which gives us the necessary strength.
Happy Holy Tuesday!
