Lent With Saint Thomas More

 

From The Sadness of Christ:

But now if there be any man so far grown in wickedness that he hideth not the truth for any fear
at all, but like Arius and his fellows spreadeth abroad false doctrine either for lucre or for devilish
ambition, such a one neither sleepeth with Peter, nor denieth Christ with Peter, but watcheth with
wicked Judas, and with Judas pursueth Christ. In how perilous a case this person above all other
especially standeth in, doth the dispiteous169 and horrible end of Judas very well declare. And yet since
the merciful goodness of God is infinite and endless, no cause hath this sort of sinners neither to despair
of God’s mercy. Full many an occasion to cause him to amend gave God even unto Judas.

Perhaps while he wrote this Saint Thomas had Richard Rich in mind.

The devil tempted Christ by promising Christ all the kingdoms of the world, if Christ fell down and worshiped him (the devil). (Did the devil own all the kingdoms of the world for him to give them away?)
