LESSONS FROM THE DARKEST DISCIPLE

About this episode

This episode explores the significance of Spy Wednesday and the betrayal of Judas Iscariot in the context of human weakness and demonic influence during the Passion of Christ.

Why does the Church remember Spy Wednesday with such gravity? Because in the betrayal of Judas Iscariot, we glimpse not only human weakness, but the mysterious role of demonic powers in the Passion. This episode explores how the forces of darkness sought to destroy Jesus Christ—and how, paradoxically, the Cross became their defeat. All of Father Luke's Masses are live-streamed at Our Lady's Blue Army Facebook and Youtube, and homilies posted at Daily Homilies from the Blue Army Shrine.
