CARVAGGIO (1571-1610 ) ‘ THE KISS’ This painting is about the event in the Garden. The disciples just had an intimate meal together. They went out to the garden to pray to God. Then, the soldiers showed up to arrest Jesus, but waited for Judas to kiss the man whom they were to arrest. Love, intimacy and friendship in a kiss that turned into a trial, violence and the crucifixion.
PRAYER God, We know that we are violent at our core. We want to have everything, and then share. Violent money. The cross reminds us of the violence that we can all do. We must be in touch with the Spirit, So, we will know that our intimacies will not Cause harm, abuse or hatred. Jesus’s love can overcome all the sin that we think, believe and act upon. AMEN !!!!!
