Wow, that’s some serious thinking! And I seriously believe you are right. Jesus cared little about the betrayal—that fulfilled prophesy. What He cared was for Judas’ soul. But my question is: If satan entered Judas, what chance did he have? Is there a possibility that Judas was saved after all…somehow?

Thanks Bob for your insightful reflection. This gives me another reason to ponder during consecration at Mass. Let us truly meditate solemnly on how Jesus feels at the Last Supper…knowing that He is about to be betrayed and will suffer a cruel death…how deeply troubled He was. Lord Jesus, forgive me, a sinner.

Thank you Bob. One of your best today…this has helped me realize how troubled Jesus was in the moment…this is distressing! The two Amens…trying to get there attention…trying to make a point…they will soon realize what has just happened. They will soon know the world is about to change. Peace with you my brother.

Yes, I like “troubled by the loss of Judas’ soul rather than the betrayal itself”. Never thought of it that way.
What is no surprise is that He had to be betrayed by one of His own to fulfill proficiency.

Thank you Bob. Your reflection on Jesus’ troubled Face helps me to understand the depth of His love for us. I think you are right in that He was not troubled for Himself as much as He was for them. And us.

How can we take this troubled look off Jesus’s face today?

I never considered Jesus being deeply troubled because of the loss of Judas’ soul and not the betrayal itself. What a moving interpretation.
