By Deacon Michael Bickerstaff, Integrated Catholic Life - Today is known as Spy Wednesday for it is believed that on this day of Holy Week, Judas agreed to betray the Lord for thirty pieces of silver... No one loves me more than Jesus. My God, in whose mind I was first conceived, loves me so much that He became man so that I might again become like Him. God is love. So it is that Love, himself, was betrayed by Judas... It is easy to look back across the mists of centuries and wag our fingers and cluck our tongues at Judas, the betrayer. Yet how many times have I also betrayed the Lord? By my choices, my thoughts, my words, and my deeds?

By Jules Gomes, The Stream - A high-ranking priest who was outed as a practicing homosexual for using Grindr to find men to hook up with is suing the company that owns the app on the grounds that his exposure has derailed his chances of becoming a bishop... Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill, who held the topmost clerical position in the U.S. as general secretary of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), filed his case on April 9 in Los Angeles County Superior Court, stating that Grindr “falsely and misleadingly represents” that it does not sell its users’ data.

By Fr. Benedict Kiely,  The Catholic Thing - The journey we began nearly six weeks ago is almost over, or, to paraphrase Churchill, it is just the beginning of the end. We are about to enter the Sacred Triduum, the unbroken liturgical celebration of the Paschal Mystery, the life, saving death, and Resurrection of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, the Alpha and the Omega, the Lord of history and of Creation, the King of the Universe, God made man.
