What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?They counted out thirty pieces of silver. The price of a slave.Today's readings bring us to the moment the deal was made. Isaiah describes the servant who gave his back to those who beat him and did not shield his face from spit. The psalm cries out for an answer from a God who seems silent while insult breaks the heart. And Matthew shows us the negotiation that set the Passion in motion.The reflection explores what price you have already accepted, and what you are still holding that will turn to ashes.📖 ReadingsFirst Reading: Isaiah 50:4-9aResponsorial: Psalm 69:8-10, 21-22, 31 and 33-34Gospel: Matthew 26:14-25⏱️ Timeline00:00 Introduction00:15 Reading I - Isaiah 50:4-9a01:06 Psalm Response - Psalm 6904:40 Gospel - Matthew 26:14-2506:08 Reflection - Thirty Pieces of Silver🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?
