“I have sinned,” he declared, “for I have betrayed an innocent man.”
“What do we care?” they retorted. “That’s your problem.”

The leading priests picked up the coins. “It wouldn’t be right to put this money in the Temple treasury,” they said, “since it was payment for murder.”

Lord God my Father,
Free will so often separates me from your will for me. I pray you work in me to build power over temptation and keep me in your will alone. Give me discernment to your truth and your power to resist sin.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
