III Judas betrays Jesus
The Word:
He got up from prayer, went back to the disciples and found them asleep, drugged by grief. He said,
"What business do you have sleeping? Get up. Pray so you won't give into temptation."
No sooner were the words out of his mouth than a crowd showed up, Judas, the one
from the Twelve, in the lead. He came right up to Jesus to kiss him. Jesus said Judas,
you would betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"
Luke 22:45-48
Francis:
Consider in what great excellence the Lord God has placed you, for he created and formed you in the image of his beloved Son according to the body and to his likeness according to the Spirit.
And all creatures under heaven serve, know, and obey their Creator, each according to its own nature, better than you. And even the demons did not crucify him, but you, together with them, have crucified him and are still crucifying him by delighting in vices and sins.

Clare:
Through your sacred wounds I beseech you
forgive me all the sins I have committed
in thought, word and deed
by neglect in your service
and by following my own will.
Prayer of the Five Wounds.
