The focus of the Gospel for Holy Wednesday (John 13.21-32) is on the betrayal of Judas. For this reason, it is sometimes called Spy Wednesday.
Spy Wednesday, whispered secrets in the air,
Betrayer's shadow cast upon the scene.
Judas, his conscience heavy with despair,
For silver's gleam, he sold his soul, unclean.
In shadows deep, the plot begins to weave,
A tragic tale of love and treachery.
The Master's fate, the mournful hearts believe,
Yet hope still blooms amidst the dark and eerie.
The table set, the bread and wine they share,
A final supper 'neath the evening sky.
The weight of destiny, they cannot bear,
Yet through it all, redemption's light draws nigh.
Spy Wednesday tells of human frailty,
But through the darkness, shines divinity.
