The Gospel According to Judas - A Handbook on Life

Further on Judas (that’s why we’re here, right?), he is an extreme case of what might happen if a saint were left to fend for himself against Satan, were the Devil to infiltrate one’s mind without any angelic relief on hand. This is supposed to explain why he committed suicide when he in fact volunteered to do what he did. So we know now that a saint would be victorious in a sense mano y mano against the Evil One, but o what a toll that were rendered. Even without a savior Judas is known to Christ, but it looks like Christ is no longer known to Judas. Even with the strength to perservere, what is done cannot be undone. He is sealed, alone, in an hermetic vial. As we remember how things used to be.
