Spy Wednesday

Judas and Peter

Spy Wednesday,

Holy Wednesday,

The Wednesday before the Crucifixion.

The day that Judas Iscariot

Went to the High Priests.

For thirty pieces of silver

Judas would hand Christ over to them.

 Remember the time that follows.
Judas betrays Jesus.

Peter denies Jesus thrice.
Judas dies by his own hand.
Peter dies Christ's servant.
What is the difference?
Judas never knew forgiveness.
Peter received God's blessing.
Why? 
Because Judas acted
While Peter waited?
Is that the answer?
When the world around is clothed

In darkness,
Must we wait for divine guidance
And not act on impulse?

In this Easter season,
Give us the strength

To wait for God's whisper.

Let the Grayness Be Gone

Creator of Light and Life,

Praise you above all.

You are love in action.

Let your miracles embrace us

According to your thoughts.

May you illumine this world

As well as heaven.

Let your healing glow

Revive our souls.

Forgive us
For letting in the darkness of uncaring

As we forgive those who block
Our path to the light.

 Winter's grayness reaches out
To wrap us in the cold

And obscure the sunlight.

Just as evil within
Clutches at our souls
And blocks your love.

Part the winter clouds
With the sunlight that emanates
From the furnace that is our sun.

Drive away the evil within
With the radiance of your lovingkindness.

For there is no greater light

Than the light of your Love.
