  • Holy Wednesday

    Holy Wednesday

    Holy Wednesday

    On this day, we remember how Judas Iscariot made a choice that led to betrayal. He approached the chief priests and agreed to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. From that moment, his heart was set on finding an opportunity to act on that choice.
    Holy Wednesday reminds us to examine our own hearts. Are there areas where temptation or selfish desires might lead us away from love, integrity, and faithfulness? Let this day be a call to reflect on our decisions, to seek God’s guidance, and to turn away from anything that might betray the trust of others or our relationship with Him.
    As we walk through this Holy Week, may we choose faithfulness over betrayal, love over selfishness, and courage over fear.
