Merciful Lord, on this Holy Wednesday, we reflect on the betrayal and denial Jesus experienced from those closest to Him. Help us to examine our own hearts and repent of any ways we have strayed from your will. May this time of reflection deepen our commitment to follow Christ, even in the face of adversity and temptation. Just as Judas betrayed Jesus and Peter denied him, we acknowledge our own moments of weakness and failure. Yet, in your infinite mercy, you offer us forgiveness and redemption through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Grant us the strength and courage to follow Christ faithfully, and may we draw closer to you during this Holy Week. Amen.
