"Judas knew the price of everything and the value of nothing"...Venerable Msgr. Fulton Sheen

I listened to the the whole show after a long time,Been going through some stuff.Pray for me brothers in christ. God bless. Jesus I trust in you.

I've been struggling with my faith for a while. I still practice (think Pascal's Wager), but scientific explanations made way more sense than faith-based ones. Over the last few years, it's like something has been pushing me even further away. Then I stumbled across this channel. You guys might have (literally) saved my soul. I love you guys. Thank you so much!

I appreciate you guys as hosts, and everyone behind the scenes, that make your shows possible…thank you

At around the 24 min mark, Fr. Rich talks about Judas trying to 'get ahead', this is very true. This is why Jesus told Peter to 'get behind' him and called him Satan. Satan always tries to 'get ahead', but of course Jesus must be the head, and we must follow.

Great show tonight, my husband and I both watched. He and I were just talking about Judas.....thank you for always having enjoyable spiritual topics. ❤

I’ve enjoyed your show for awhile now. It’s actually a pleasant break from the plethora of radical bloggers who bring doom, gloom, criticism, darkness, and unnerving cage rattling to the Catholic table. Watching you instead is like reading “Our Sunday Visitor” as opposed to “The Remnant.” I’m not saying it wouldn’t hurt to focus a little more on controversial issues in the Catholic world, but even then, you are positive about it. Thanks. God bless all of you.

The biggest problem in the Catholic Church is the same biggest problem that other churches have. The people. And you can’t escape people by going to a different church. As Mother Angelica used to say, “If you find a church you think is perfect and you go there, guess what? That church won’t be perfect anymore.” 😉😇

What an absolutely brilliant topic to talk about and some of the comments made it seem as if it was happening right in front of me now. So moving.

An amazing discussion for Holy Week! It’s important to have a a daily devotion to Our Lord, for constant renewal of our minds, to be more in his likeness. This prepares us for days to come as we are closer to his presence in heaven. God bless your channel! My prayers are with you & your ministry!

Three musketeers together again hi Father have a great evening Rosie here🙏🏻❤️🌹

Amazing video, learning a lot from this channel. Keep it up

Thank you for being part of God's discipleship. It is talk shows like these and better that Catholics should be turning to for spiritual enrichment and faith formation. May you stay on till God wills🙏

I am a Baptist , My dad was a catholic. And I love going to St Louis cathedral in New Orleans. I listen sometimes to the mass. God is all around in everything that I see. I watch the chosen and I try to place me into the character of the show. I am somewhere between Mary Magdalena and Matthew. I enjoy listening to your program. God bless

What a great start to Holy Week! Thank you and may God always bless you..

Great explanation look forward to your shows lots of love from Mumbai

Another WONDERFUL Show! I Hope we can get you folks at our Parish if you ever get to Honolulu, where I reside! Aloha!

Well of course Ive already subscribed. This is my fav channel at the moment! And you know what? Lent is over, so yes, I went back to streaming platforms and yes, rewatched my fav episode of Brooklyn 99, and then one more, but I didn't feel the need to binge the whole thing all over again. Instead, once more I had lunch watching your show. Looks like lent gave me a habit of enjoying content that brigs me closer to God. BTW, Im scared of what may happen if I finish every episode ever and is not a Monday yet... I may have to check Fr. Mike... XDD (Just kidding, already heard him, he is quiet awesome, and im pretty sure he does not ware cartoonish socks... Kidding again, you are awesome of course, Fr. Richard.) In all seriousness, thank you guys for getting me closer to God this lent and helping me avoid getting addicted to streaming platforms (I have a tendency to it since I had clinical depression, witch thanks to Our Lord, His Blessed Mother, my Guardian Angel, my family and friends, medical help and kintsuging by writing music Ive already overcame).

Great job fellas...see you Wed.! SPY Wed.!

Watching from Ireland 🇮🇪

The best talk show about Judas. Congrats brothers

Thank you for always answering questions that just pop into my head, that someone asked me if I stay up all night thinking up these questions. The answer is no, they just come to me. I have always questioned things, just because someone told me something didn't mean I believed them.

Can you guys do an episode on saint Longinus? Also I hope you have a great good Easter!

This episode gave me an idea. I'd like to see you guys do a thing where father Pagano reads a full chapter of the Bible and then you guys for the rest of the episode talk about that. kind of like a Bible study series or something like that. Cause I am craving a more in depth dive into scripture from the Catholic point of view. I have a a love of reading and studying the Bible. Chapter by chapter and getting really in depth about it. Idk if you guy would even want to do that

I MISSED THE LIVE CHAT AGAIN OMG

Thank you ❤

Judas thought that eventually Jesus would build an army to defeat the Romans but when he realized that That wasn’t what Jesus mission was that’s when the devil entered him and he decided to take another path but I don’t think he knew that they would torture and crucify Him he probably thought that they would put him in a prison. On the other hand maybe Jesus pick Judas because He knew that he had to die for us and chose Judas because he knew he would be the one to betray Him??

Thank you

How would Jesus have been crucified if Judas didn’t betray him ?

One of these men is indignant at the idea of calling evil, evil & the idea of holding anyone accountable doubtless unless it’s for disagreeing with him.

Very interesting about Judas' name !

You all should get on Rumble

I notice at about 24min into the talk, only Bobblehead Jesus begins to nod along.🙏🏼❤️✌🏼😆😊

Mercy is a challenge when it comes to Judas. Many Italians find betrayal difficult to forgive.

Amen

I had an insight that Judas wanted to force Jesus to perform a miracle to save Himself. This would have obviously brought much money into their purse. It is not about the 30 pieces of silver which is nothing. However, when Jesus does not do this and Judas realizes his own role in the fulfilment of prophecy is when he despaired. Many of us want to force Jesus to perform miracles today.

The worst betrayal is priests failing to keep to Church teaching and wanting to reshape the Church in man’s image. All the other failings stem from that betrayal.

Great conversation. There is such an irony in that the job of the apostles was to spread the good news and to share that the son of man had come. To show people who he was. To shepard the flock. He did exactly that with a kiss in a betrayal, distorting his mission

Keep in mind: Luke 22:3 Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve. and John 13:27 As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”

I am writing this before I watch the video but The Mystical City of God authored by Ven Mary of Agreda under the direction of Mary Mother of God discusses Judas in some of the sections. It has been years since I read it but Judas already had weaknesses that Jesus and Mary tried to help him with. His heart became turned against God I think it was pride or one of the deadly sins. I remember when there was a need for a bursar (paraphrasing) Judas volunteered for it. Jesus examined this idea and thought it needed more reflection and maybe it was not a good choice for Jesus already knew it would be in this that he would sin and commit the ultimate sin but Judas persisted so Jesus let him. In the book it is a caution Mary has for us that Jesus will not stand in between our free will and if we choose sin He will allow us to choose it including the means. We see glimpses of Judas in this regard in other passages leading up to the betrayal. One was him disparaging using the fragrant oil to anoint Jesus' feet and then another time where the apostles are discussing Judas and how he stole from the purse in his position of being in charge of their funds. I'll say this, and it is yet ANOTHER miracle that the Church has survived and could not do so without Jesus - if Peter was the Church's first Pope, Judas was the first Financial Officer and yet the Church flourished despite it all from that day to this day and forever.

Padre Pio has said you can go back in time and pray for his soul, that is all we can do for him and The Father's Grace takes over

I feel like Jesus knew that Judas was going to betray him, That, this is the way this has to go down ultimately. But I still think there was that little bit of Jesus that just held out hope against hope that his friend wouldn't do it. And when Judas did, there was such pain and sorrow in Jesus's heart. I think Father rich is right, The kiss was a symbol of true affection that became twisted affection. Or maybe it was a symbol of the last affection that Judas would ever show to his teacher.

Was Judas aware that they were going to crucify Jesus or did he think all they were going to do was imprison Jesus? All they asked Judas to do was to point Him out.

All the apostles, were chosen for a reason, yes for spreading the word of our ALMIGHTY CREATOR FATHER , BUT EACH ONE

Best comment I heard was from a priest in .Slovenia. The homily was about the jobs the apostles had before joining Christ. When he got to Judas he said people ask why Jesus had a Judas, he simply said “Every organization has a Judas”. In that instance I recognized every sociopath or narcissist I ever worked with, and in nearly every case their behavior led to their career suicide.😮

I LOVE watching your intelligence of Bible Passages and reflections of the History of events....particularly this. I just want to add my own feelings of Judas and Jesus. I believe that Jesus is WELL AWARE of everything about the Disciples He chooses. I believe He is Well Aware of Judas and what Judas will do to go against Him. From the beginning. We tend...I believe...to forget Jesus is Lord and knows EXACTLY what His Life is to be as our Savior. To realize He is to go to the Cross for our sins. Judas does as He is to do....in order for Jesus's Crucifixion.

'The Chosen' introduced Judas in the last episode of season two last year. It will be interesting to see how they play out his character and role with the original 11. Judas was definitely not a good guy, he had lots of baggage, as we all do, however he chose the wrong road to carry his baggage along, let alone betraying our Lord, that in itself is beyone heinous. Great episode, very interesting and you guys always do a great job. Blessings to you.

I thought from Judas’ mindset, he was thinking he knew more than Our Lord. Didn’t he think that if Jesus just talked to the High Priests to explain himself better, they would understand His mission? I never heard he was only thinking of 💰. 🤷🏻‍♀️🙏

You all should read Maria Valtorta's writings. Jesus reveals so much about Judas and his motivations and their relationship. She was a mystic and victim soul that is private revelation but validated by the church.

Could the fact that Judas was an outsider -and resented it - have contributed to Judas' motives to betray Jesus?

❤️

How could somebody, like Judas, who has seen a Man like Christ raise the dead, heal the blind and make the crippled walk not be assurred that he was in the midst of God and yet not fear him? That is what I could never understand.

If Judas only ask forgiveness instead of taking his life. God’s mercy is unlimited Jesus loves Judas remember that, if only he comes back he will be save.

It always blows my mind how God used the will of evil men to complete his plan of salvation. Judas would have been forgiven like Peter was. but Satan used his guilt to take his soul .

Why did Judas betray Jesus? For the same reason we betray Jesus every time we sin.

I've heard it said that the only unforgivable sin Lee unforgivable sin is against the Holy Spirit and that that means not accepting The forgiveness of Jesus Christ. Maybe if Judas had sought out the the other disciples sought oit was sort out Jesus he might have been able to look for some kind of forgiveness. That's why we need to look for God instead of despairing in times of trouble.

"CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD, Please forgive me for any lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride I am guilty of, and I thank you for everything! Amen" 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Please pray these words now, pray them as you read them if you cannot look and remember them 🙏 please consider beginnning daily prayer, it is a good habit that will help you if you actually do it and continue to do it

No. The biggest betrayal is not sin, but betrayal of dogma. The ruination of dogma is worse: blaspheming the Holy Spirit, not some fuzzy feeling, but dogma.

Poor Howard..😆 I’m praying for you Brother #freehoward

A great lesson is to know that when you sin even a little bit it leads you down the wrong path & from there you give Satan a foothold. Once that happens it takes humility & turning to Jesus to be free. This example is urgent for all of us to realize the reality of what happens when we choose sin over Jesus. 😢

ALL of the apostles, except John, betrayed Jesus. I think that the reason that Judas was not forgiven was because he simply didn't ask for forgiveness; instead, Judas sacrificed himself for his sin. Jesus is the sacrifice for our sins, Jesus is the only one whose blood can atone for sin. I think that Judas was so sorry when he realized what he had done that he didn't even ask for forgiveness because he thought he didn't deserve it. But all of the other apostles who betrayed Jesus accepted Jesus' sacrifice for them in atonement for their sins. Judas tried to do it himself, which no one is capable of. Salvation from Jesus through his sacrifice is a free gift to us. But we have to accept it in order to have it. I think that Judas betrayed Jesus, first of all, because Judas was possessed by the Devil. Probably Judas' stealing from the till opened a door to the Devil to possess him. But another reason Judas betrayed Jesus was because Judas thought that Jesus would never allow himself to be crucified, and that Jesus could and would call down an legion of angels to rescue him and to overthrow the Romans. That was Judas' greatest interest, that of overthrowing the Romans. Goes to show the saying true that "The Road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

he was on that stuff

Glad you touched on it: Judas betrayed Jesus over the Holy Eucharist. The only time Jesus’s disciples let him for one of His teachings was The Bread of Life Discourse. Immediately after their departure Jesus alludes to Judas’ betrayal by saying one of his Apostles is a devil. Then during the Last Supper Satan enters Judas once he takes the Morsel and then leaves to betray Him. Judas couldn’t accept the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

That happened to me I'd love to church . I came back I did all my confessions I'm taking you I go to mass with sunday I take to holly community . I've been back about five weeks now That was a biggest mistake in my life I wish I never left I'm a Practicing catholic .

A fascinating discussion. May I ask a further look at Pilate . I have heard that Pilate is much better thought of in the Eastern trdation then in the Latin rite. Pilate is a model of typical politicians. He is willing to do the right thing if it doesn’t cost him any votes. Can you explain why Pilate is given more respect among the orthodox and eastern rite?

Odd and interesting topic. I have always asked myself if Judas betrayal was necessary to the development that was pre-destined. What difference it made? I always asked myself why identify him if he was public, known in public places, everybody eas looking to listen to his teachings. The very farisees questioned him day and night, tried to trick him etc. Was there something legal ot maybe historical behind it?

Use the rosary and in the mistery at the garden pray with Jesus for Judas

The image of Our Lady of Guadalupe is beautiful.

"All roads lead to finance," said my accountant friend. "If you want to understand an organization, become their treasurer"! (Interesting that a poor itinerant preacher and his equally poor followers would need a treasurer). As the treasurer, Judas would therefore see where the money was coming from, and where it was going to, and the implications thereof. Obviously, he decided he did not like the direction things were heading.

Judas had his own idea of how the Son of God should act. When he realized Jesus wasn't going to do it Judas' way, he turned against Jesus.

To fulfill prophecy

First, I ask our Lord God for forgiveness for this comment and may the Holy Spirit guide me more to the right path. This is my comment: All of us were created for a purpose. We were given a role, a mission to accomplish here on earth. Unfortunately, Judas Escariot was given this role to betray Jesus to make redemption come into reality. If not him, I think there would be another person to do it. In other words, Judas was part of the equation. I was asking myself, if there was no betrayal, how would Jesus die on the cross and resurrect after three days? Would Jesus' enemies still come after him and bring him to trial? Instead of condemning Judas, and considering that he was repentant of that grave act, we should be praying for him. Forgive me if this line of reasoning is not in accordance with the scriptures. Again, may the Holy Spirit enlighten me 🙏🙏🙏

You would have to think a period of anger towards Jesus led him to betray him for a fee. Judas possibly hated the humble life after so many years and was wanting to end it. But wanted to have Jesus be arrested in order to use as an excuse to get away rather than to tell Jesus he quits. Maybe he didn’t know Jesus would be executed … maybe he did and felt that would be an even easier way to exit the poor life of ministry he was in.

If the crucifiction of Jesus was planned in advance by god, then Judas helped the plan to be carried out a bit more quickly and without any mistakes about identity. Why then is he vilified and not recognised as a hero?

I have to admit that I have also thought, in addition not opposition to the ideas voiced already, that John sounds a lot like an old man, understandably bitter remembering the betrayal, now in his 90's, just venting some bad feelings that may or may not be completely true of Judas. Believing in the truth and inspiration of scripture doesn't keep me from at least musing about these things. But I could be wrong, on multiple levels. If so, pray for me?

Holy Mather Mary ✝️❤️

Question: do the coins exist somewhere in the world ?…. Reason I ask is the HBO series about the coins …. Which are cursed… I’ve never heard about the chicken cooking…

30 pieces of silver is the quick answer

30 pieces of silver could be worth 120 drachma to 300 denarii, so 4 - 10 months of wages.
