From a Treatise on the Psalms by Saint Augustine, Bishop I. “Hear my prayer, O God, and despise not my petition; attend to me and hear me.” These are the words of a man in trouble, of one who is afflicted. In his sore distress he prays to be delivered from his misery. Do not think that bad men are in this world without a purpose, and that God does not work good out of them. Every wicked man lives, either that he himself may be corrected, or that through him some good man may be tried.

��

All: My friend betrayed Me with a kiss. “Whom I shall kiss, that is He, hold Him fast.” This wicked sign he gave, and by a kiss accom-plished murder. Unhappy man, he threw away the price of blood, and in the end hanged himself. Leader: It had been good for that man if he had never been born. All: Unhappy man, he threw away the price of blood, and in the end hanged himself.

�� II. Would, therefore, that they who now try us, might be converted and be tried together with us. Nevertheless, so long as they try us, let us not hate them, because we cannot tell if they will persevere in their wickedness to the end. Often enough, while hating, as we think, an enemy, we are, without knowing it, hating a brother.

��

All: Judas, the cheapest of traffickers, approached the Lord with a kiss. And He like an innocent lamb refused not the kiss of Judas. For a few pence he delivered Christ to the Jews. Leader: It had been better for him if he had never been born. All: For a few pence he delivered Christ to the Jews.

12

From the first Epistle of Blessed Paul, the Apostle, to the Corinthians. I. For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you; that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which He was betrayed, took bread, and giving thanks, broke it and said: “Take and eat, this is my Body which shall be delivered for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

��

All: I was like an innocent lamb. I was led to the sacrifice and I knew it not. My enemies conspired against me, saying: “Come, let us put wood into his bread, and root him out of the land of the living.” Leader: All my enemies contrived evil against me, they uttered a wicked speech against me, saying: All: “Come, let us put wood into his bread, and root him out of the land of the living.”

�� II. In like manner, He took the chalice, after supper, saying: “This chal-ice is the new Testament in my Blood. Do this as often as you shall drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this chalice, you shall show forth the death of the Lord until He comes.

��

All: Could you not watch one hour with me, you that were ready to die for me? Or do you not see Judas - he does not sleep, but makes haste to betray me. Leader: Why do you sleep? Arise and pray, lest you enter into temp-tation. All: Or do you not see Judas - he does not sleep, but makes haste to betray me.

III. The Lord saw injustice and rebellion in the city, and He stretched forth His hands to an unbelieving and rebellious people, and yet waiting even for them, He said: “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

All: One of my disciples will this day betray me. Woe to him by whom I am betrayed. It had been better for him if he had not been born.
