Matthew 26:14-25

On this Wednesday of Holy Week my little reflection is this —- hard as it may be do not let the nastiness of others change you. Today Jesus sits down at table with Judas and the other disciples who will soon betray, deny and abandon him. I bet it took everything in him to still be nice, patient and loving to them. Have you ever found yourself working very closely with someone who is working overtime to destroy you? The work place sometimes can be like a snake pit. But we are invited to show up, be professional and deliver. This requires discipline. I love how disciplined and focused our Lord is. The mission, the planting of a kingdom of love overrides all else.

Let us pray for all those who have known the pain of betrayal at work, in love relationships and in families. Thank you for not getting drawn into the drama.
