2025 Holy Week Celebration: Wednesday Reflection

This reflection for Wednesday of Holy Week—often known as Spy Wednesday—invites us to consider the betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot in light of our own lives. Drawing from Matthew 26:14–25, the meditation explores how acts of betrayal are still present today in broken promises, infidelity, gossip, and abandonment. Through the lens of Ignatian spirituality and African wisdom, it challenges us to remain faithful to Christ by upholding dignity, loyalty, and compassion in our relationships with others, especially the vulnerable. As we prepare to enter the Easter Triduum, we are encouraged to journey closely with Jesus and those who carry the weight of suffering.
