When we look at the Passion we often think; "Man, Judas, what were you thinking?" And yet when we gossip and back bite we do the same to Jesus. We betray the divine in each other, we betray with the sweet words of a nice conversation that turns into the wrong kind of conversation. We judge and sell each other to be popular or perhaps to get back at someone.
The gospel lets us know that Jesus is showing us how to respond to the betrayal, with food, with kindness, with suffering.
Transforming the betrayal into redemption is what we are called to do. When we have been talked about or scandalized we need to focus on Jesus dipping the morsel of food and then leaving the rest up to God.
We are called to be different in our approach and responses.
Act with Love and Love will act.
