THE STRANGE MEAL-
Jesus sits with his men- for the proverbial ‘last meal’.
John’s account is unique- Jesus does not mention the institution
of the Eucharist- Lords Supper.
‘Do this in remembrance of me’-
Yet- he adds the foot washing incident- none of the other gospels
show this.
Now- Jesus is at the table- and yes- he does a strange
thing.
Strange in the fact that he is the Lord and master- and even
in Jesus parables he teaches that the Lord does not serve the servant- but the servant
serves the Lord.
Yet here- once again- we see the dichotomy of the kingdom at
work.
He takes off his outer clothes- and wraps himself with a
towel- and begins to wash the disciple’s feet.
He comes to Peter-
Peter ‘not so Lord- never’.
Jesus ‘if I don’t wash you- you have no part with me’.
Peter ‘ok- then give me a bath’.
Jesus ‘he that is washed- only needs to wash his feet’.
Principle?
In this world- yes- we get dirty.
There’s stuff that defiles us.
At those moments in life- you don’t 'start all over’
No- you just receive the cleansing for that day.
It’s important to avoid the ‘all is lost’ mindset- when we
have setbacks in life.
[I’ll link my addiction recovery teaching here- because I
deal with that mindset in depth- https://ccoutreach87.wordpress.com/christian-recovery-from-addiction-long-version/
]
Now- we see another interesting thing.
Jesus pronounces that one at the meal will betray him.
I mean that statement can really shake up the group.
And the one who might be the most insecure- well- he really
wants to know.
So- Peter says to John ‘ask him who it is’.
John asks- and Jesus makes another declarative statement ‘he
to whom I give the bread- after I dip it- he’s the one’.
Notice Jesus did not simply describe what was going to
happen- he SPOKE IT.
One WILL BETRAY ME- and it’s the one I GIVE THE BREAD TO.
It’s almost like Jesus is giving permission- he himself is opening
the door for the dirty deed.
How?
In this chapter satan puts it into the heart of Judas- to
betray Jesus.
Yet- it is not until Jesus makes these declarative statements-
that satan ‘enters Judas heart’.
I think Jesus had to give the permission- and he did it thru
his own words.
He said no man could take his life- but he had to willingly
give it up.
We also know Jesus could have called thousands of angels- if
he wanted.
But he chose to lay his life down.
Now- as far as I can tell- the only one at the table that
knew Judas was the one- was John [and of course Jesus and Judas].
But the others were left in the dark- especially the
insecure one- Peter.
Jesus tells them he is going to go away- and his men will
not be able to follow him.
Peter pipes up ‘why not- I will die for you Jesus’!
We see the insecurity here-
‘I’m the toughest guy in the room’.
Jesus responds
‘before the roster crows- you will deny me- 3 times’.
As the chapter ends- I think Peter was rocked by this
statement.
Things were moving fast- Jesus just said one would betray
him.
And Peter had no idea if it was him.
Now- Jesus tells Peter he will deny him.
I think Peter thought it was him.
Today we make a distinction between the betrayer and denier.
But at that table- that strange table- it was a test for his
men.
And Peter will be sifted soon.
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is
your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then
vanisheth away. James

I mention this priest on the video-
Maximilian Maria Kolbe, O.F.M. Conv. (Polish: Maksymilian Maria Kolbe [maksɨˌmʲilʲjan ˌmarʲja
ˈkɔlbɛ]; 8 January 1894 – 14 August 1941) was a Polish Conventual
Franciscan friar,
who volunteered to die in place of a stranger in the German death camp ofAuschwitz,
located in German-occupied Poland during World War II. He was active in promoting the
veneration of the ImmaculateVirgin Mary,
founding and supervising the monastery of Niepokalanów near Warsaw, operating a radio station, and
founding or running several other organizations and publications.
Kolbe was canonized on
10 October 1982 by Pope John Paul II, and declared a martyr of charity. He is the patron saint of
drug addicts, political prisoners,
families, journalists, prisoners, and the pro-life movement.[2] John Paul II declared him "The Patron
Saint of Our Difficult Century".[3]
Due to Kolbe's efforts to
promote consecration
and entrustment to Mary, he is known as the Apostle of Consecration to Mary.[4]

Biography[edit]
Childhood[edit]
Raymund Kolbe was born on 8
January 1894 in Zduńska Wola, in the Kingdom of Poland, which was a part of the Russian Empire, the second son of weaver
Julius Kolbe and midwife Maria
Dąbrowska.[5] His father was an ethnic German[6] and his mother was Polish. He had four
brothers. Shortly after his birth, his family moved to Pabianice.[5]
Kolbe's life was strongly
influenced in 1906 by a childhood vision of the Virgin Mary.[2] He later described this incident:
That night I asked the Mother
of God what was to become of me. Then she came to me holding two crowns, one
white, the other red. She asked me if I was willing to accept either of these
crowns. The white one meant that I should persevere in purity, and the red that
I should become a martyr. I said that I would accept them both.[7]
Franciscan
friar[edit]
In 1907, Kolbe and his elder
brother Francis joined the Conventual
Franciscans.[8] They enrolled at the Conventual Franciscan
minor seminary in Lwow later that year. In 1910, Kolbe was
allowed to enter the novitiate, where he was given the religious nameMaximilian. He professed his first vows in
1911, and final vows in
1914,[2] adopting the additional name of Maria
(Mary).[5]
Kolbe was sent to Rome in 1912, where he attended the Pontifical
Gregorian University. He earned a doctorate in
philosophy in 1915
there. From 1915 he continued his studies at the Pontifical
University of St. Bonaventure where
he earned a doctorate in theology in 1919[5] or 1922[2] (sources vary). He was active in the consecration
and entrustment to Mary. During his time as a student, he witnessed
vehement demonstrations against Popes St. Pius X and Benedict XV in
Rome during an anniversary celebration by theFreemasons. According to Kolbe,
They placed the black standard
of the "Giordano Brunisti"
under the windows of the Vatican. On this standard the archangel, St. Michael,
was depicted lying under the feet of the triumphant Lucifer. At the same time,
countless pamphlets were distributed to the people in which the Holy Father
(i.e., the Pope) was attacked shamefully.[1][9]
Soon afterward, Kolbe organized
the Militia Immaculata (Army of the Immaculate One), to work
for conversion of sinners and enemies of the Catholic Church, specifically the
Freemasons, through the intercession of the Virgin Mary.[2] So serious was Kolbe about this goal that
he added to the Miraculous Medal prayer:
O Mary, conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to thee. And
for all those who do not have recourse to thee; especially the Masons and all
those recommended to thee.[10]

In 1918, Kolbe was ordained a
priest.[11] In July 1919 he returned to the newly independent
Poland, where he was active in promoting the veneration of the Immaculate Virgin Mary.[5] He was strongly opposed to leftist – in
particular, communist –
movements.[5] From 1919 to 1922 he taught at the Kraków
seminary.[2][5] Around that time, as well as earlier in
Rome, he suffered from tuberculosis, which forced him to take a
lengthy leave of absence from his teaching duties.[2][11] In January 1922 he founded the monthly
periodical Rycerz Niepokalanej(Knight
of the Immaculate), a devotional publication based on French Le Messager du Coeur de Jesus (Messenger of the Heart of Jesus).[5] From 1922 to 1926 he operated a religious
publishing press in Grodno.[5] As his activities grew in scope, in 1927 he
founded a new Conventual Franciscan monastery at Niepokalanów near
Warsaw, which became a major religious publishing center.[2][5][11] A junior seminary was opened there two
years later.[2]
Between 1930 and 1936, Kolbe
undertook a series of missions to East Asia.[5] At first, he arrived in Shanghai, China, but failed to gather a
following there.[5] Next, he moved to Japan, where by 1931 he
founded a monastery at
the outskirts of Nagasaki (it later gained a novitiate and a
seminary) and started publishing a Japanese edition of the Knight of the Immaculate (Seibo no Kishi).[2][5][11] The monastery he founded remains prominent
in the Roman Catholic Church in Japan.[2] Kolbe built the monastery on a mountainside
that, according to Shinto beliefs, was not the side best suited to be in
harmony with nature. When theatomic
bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Kolbe's monastery was saved because
the other side of the mountain took the main force of the blast.[12] In mid-1932 he left Japan forMalabar, India, where he founded another
monastery; this one however closed after a while.[2] Meanwhile, the monastery at Niepokalanów
began in his absence to publish the daily newspaper, Mały
Dziennik (The
Little Daily), in alliance with the political group, the National
Radical Camp (Obóz
Narodowo Radykalny).[2][5] This publication reached a circulation of
137,000, and nearly double that, 225,000, on weekends.[13]
Poor health forced Kolbe to
return to Poland in 1936.[2] Two years later, in 1938, he started a
radio station at Niepokalanów, the Radio
Niepokalanów.[2][14] He held an amateur radio licence, with the call sign SP3RN.[15]
Death at
Auschwitz[edit]
After the outbreak of World War II, which started with the invasion of
Poland by Germany, Kolbe was one of the few brothers who remained in
the monastery, where he organized a temporary hospital.[5] After the town was captured by the Germans,
he was briefly arrested by them on 19 September 1939 but released on 8
December.[2][5] He refused to sign the Deutsche Volksliste, which would have given
him rights similar to those of German citizens in exchange for recognizing his
German ancestry.[16] Upon his release he continued work at his
monastery, where he and other monks provided shelter to refugees from Greater Poland, including 2,000 Jews whom he
hid from German persecution in their friary in
Niepokalanów.[2][11][12][16][17][18] Kolbe also received permission to continue
publishing religious works, though significantly reduced in scope.[16] The monastery thus continued to act as a
publishing house, issuing a number of anti-Nazi German publications.[2][11] On 17 February 1941, the monastery was shut
down by the German authorities.[2] That day Kolbe and four others were
arrested by the German Gestapo and
imprisoned in the Pawiak prison.[2] On 28 May, he was transferred to Auschwitz as
prisoner #16670.[19]
Continuing to act as a priest,
Kolbe was subjected to violent harassment, including beating and lashings, and
once had to be smuggled to a prison hospital by friendly inmates.[2][16] At the end of July 1941, three prisoners
disappeared from the camp, prompting SS-Hauptsturmführer Karl Fritzsch, the deputy camp commander, to
pick 10 men to be starved to death in an underground bunker to deter further
escape attempts. When one of the selected men, Franciszek
Gajowniczek, cried out, "My wife! My children!", Kolbe
volunteered to take his place.[8]
According to an eye witness, an
assistant janitor at that time, in his prison cell, Kolbe led the prisoners in
prayer to Our Lady. Each time the guards checked on him, he was standing or
kneeling in the middle of the cell and looking calmly at those who entered.
After two weeks of dehydration and starvation, only Kolbe remained alive. “The
guards wanted the bunker emptied, so they gave Kolbe a lethal injection of carbolic acid. Kolbe is said to have raised
his left arm and calmly waited for the deadly injection.[11] His remains were cremated on 15 August, the feast day of the Assumption of Mary.[16]
