Two sins

We start our meditation with the feelings of Jesus, he is at the table and the Gospel say he was deeply troubled, and testified: One of you will be betray me.

There are two big sins that this gospel predicted today: the betray of Judas and the denial of Peter; one for money the other for human respect.

Many people sustain the betray of Judas was motivated by the desire of money, another that was by the expectation that was assuming from Jesus Christ, but the Gospel says clearly that this idea was putting to him by the evil.

The betray in these days:

We are scandalized by the sin of Judas, he was his friend and with a kiss betray Jesus, that betray happen 2000 years ago, and was once, but in this time our Lord also is trembled, and there is a thousand of betrays, special in the Eucharist.

Behold the Heart that has loved men to such an extreme that it has not spared cares, to the point of exhausting itself and wasting itself by testifying love to them, and by all correspondence receives only from the greater part of them ingratitude, signified in the contempt, contempt, sacrilege and coldness with which they treat me in this Sacrament of love."

We see that all sin is a judgment, and evaluation, we put in one side God and the other side the pleasure and we say I prefer this than God.

ST. Thomas with St. Augustine. It is contempt for His grace and His love; it is an insolence on his face, for it is as if to say to him: "I do not want to serve you, I do what pleases me best, and I do not care if you are displeased and withdraw your friendship from me."

The devil will say to you, "In spite of this sin, you can still be saved." But I say to you, if you sin, you start by condemning yourselves to hell. You may also condemn yourself, and it's the easiest thing to do. And is it a matter of leaving salvation hanging on a "maybe"? In the meantime, you risk getting lost; And what will it be if death then comes, and God forsakes you?

The Holy Fathers teach, God has determined the number of sins He wants to forgive each one. But since we do not know what number, ours is, we must fear God's abandonment to each new sin; That thought, "Who knows if God won't forgive me any more sins?" should be a great deterrent to not offending Him anymore; it will be a saving thought.

Judas put a price to Jesus 30 silver coins, that was the value for Jesus.

What is the value of Jesus in your life? For how macho you will exchange Christ?

The price that you put to Jesus is that pleasure, is that money?

For how much will change Jesus, because all sin is that and exchange something for Jesus.

Many people already put a price to Jesus, y prefer the pornography, I prefer that person.

You remember each time that we accept to commit a sin, you betray Jesus, you exchange that pleasure, from the Son of God.

What is the price that you put to Jesus. For how many much you will sell Jesus.

How much do I get paid if I give Jesus to them?

Others prefer the death, for them Christ has no price.

36 Others endured mockery, scourging, even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were stoned, sawed in two, put to death at sword’s point; they went about in skins of sheep or goats, needy, afflicted, tormented. 38 The world was not worthy of them. They wandered about in deserts and on mountains, in caves and in crevices in the earth. [1]

But the disposition should be, I can lose anything, but never allow me to lost Christ, if you have lost Jesus, you have lost all.
