It's Spy Wednesday!

Good morning. It is 'Spy Wednesday', the day the readings focus on Judas' secretive plans to betray Jesus. Have you ever thought how much effort Judas put into betraying Jesus? Psalm 36 illustrates this feverish activity - "Sin speaks to the sinner in the depths of his heart.... He plots the defeat of goodness as he lies on his bed."

This week we have put together a few resources to help us spend our time and attention on loving Jesus and opening ourselves to receiving the graces flowing from his Paschal Mysteries.

Anna Krohn shares some beautiful insights into the role of the imagination in Holy Week. Listen as she describes three key moments of the Church's liturgy that help us enter more fully into contemplating the Lord: Udisciple Podcast - Iconography in Holy Week
