Here we are: Spy Wednesday, the eve of the sacred Triduum. Lent is about to end and we're entering into a liturgical period and facing the Paschal Mystery of Christ. The term "Spy Wednesday" is not heard often these but we get the point: the struggle between life and death, sin and grace, friendship and betrayal, good and evil.Jesus shares the Passover meal his closest collaborators, he was having "Communio" with his friends and not strangers and one among them has already set in motion the process of betrayal. The intimacy once shared vigorously is now betrayed; it is one of the most terrible experiences any person can live through.
Spy Wednesday is not a day to point the finger at someone else's problem. It's a day to examine the soul to understand the ways we've betrayed Christ in simple and also likely profound ways. There is portion of Judas in all of us. While we may not have used 30 pieces of silver but perhaps we've opened the door to evil.
How different are you going to live today?
