Friends, today’s Gospel is from *John’s account of the Last Supper, where
Jesus acknowledges Judas as his betrayer and tells him to get on with it.*
*God’s desires have been, from the beginning, opposed. Consistently, human
beings have preferred the isolation of sin to the festivity of the sacred
meal*. Theologians have called this anomalous tendency *the mysterium
iniquitatis (the mystery of iniquity), for there is no rational ground for
it,* *no reason for it to exist.*
But there *it stubbornly is, always shadowing the good*,* parasitic upon
that which* *it tries to destroy. Therefore,* we should not be too
surprised that,* as the sacred meal comes to its richest possible
expression,* *evil accompanies it.*
*Judas the betrayer expresses the mysterium iniquitatis with particular
symbolic power, for he had spent years in intimacy with Jesus, taking in
the Lord’s moves and thoughts at close quarters, sharing the table of
fellowship with him*—*and yet he saw fit to turn* *Jesus over to his
enemies and to interrup*t *the coinherence of the Last Supper.*
*Those of us who regularly gather around the table of intimacy with Christ
and yet engage consistently in the works of darkness are meant to see
ourselves in the betrayer. *
*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja! Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire! Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
