                  ______________Matthew 27:3,4 

When 

 Judas, 

the bet-

rayer,

saw 

that 

Jesus 

was 

condemned to death, he repented and brought back the 30 pieces of silver to the chief 

priests & the elders. He said “I have 

sinned by betraying innocent 

blood.”              

                         But they said,  

                            What is that to us?"

* William Reed Huntington   1838-1909 

 American priest, 

ecumenist, statesman, 

+ liturgical scholar. As a member of the House of Deputies (which, along  + 

with the House of Bishops is the governing body of 

the Episcopal Church in the US,) his proposal lead to the revision of the Prayer Book of 1892, “providing hitherto unknown flexibility + significant enrichment.”
He is the author of The Collect for Monday in Holy Week which doubles as the Friday Collect at Morning Prayer.

                    Almighty God,whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain,  and entered not into glory before he was 

crucified: Mercifully grant that we, 

walking in the way of the cross, 

may find it none other than

 the way of life and peace,           

through Jesus Christ                         *

our Lord. Amen.
