The note Judas left
Commonweal, Dec 6, 2002 by Hollis Cate
The Note Judas Left But I knew something, you see: martyrdom required a kiss. This silver was just incidental and had to be offered and taken in the scheme of things. I heard a voice saying: "Do it for the world. A religion requires it." I will not have died in vain despite my unmarked grave. The other death, the greater one, I propelled. If not my kiss, whose? Surely not any one of the others. What did they think? That he would establish his kingdom while he was in the flesh? God knew better, and I dare say he did too. Yes, a kiss for the world. But I will be remembered only as a betrayer, never as a player of a role no one wanted but someone had to play. Otherwise, a story without a cross. Do not include me among those who knew not what they did. I was the only one who did know. Neither did my cup pass from me. But you do not hear me, world.
