Judas had heard about the Romans:
how they had conquered many lands and yet acted in a friendly way to other nations.

Judas therefore sent representatives to Rome  and an alliance was agreed to with the Romans.

Judas' aim was to obtain protection and peace for Israel.

Dear God, may peace and justice be the aim of all leaders

Turn your ear, O Lord, and give answer
for I am poor and needy.

O Lord, you are good and forgiving,
full of love to all who call to you.

All the nations shall come to adore you
and glorify your name, O Lord,
you who alone are God.

Show me, Lord, your way, and guide my heart
so that I may walk in your truth.

I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart
for your love to me has been great.

O give your strength to your servant
and save your handmaid's son.

Dear Lord, thank you for all  your love

To those of you who are elders I say: I am an elder myself,
a witness to the sufferings of Christ

Be good shepherds of the flock that God has entrusted to you.
Watch over it, not simply as a duty, or for sordid money,
but gladly, because that's what God wants you to do

Never be a dictator over any group that is in your charge,
but be an example that the whole flock can follow

When the Chief Shepherd appears,
you will be given the crown of unfading glory

Jesus, help pastors and elders be good shepherds

The religious leaders sent the Temple police to arrest Jesus

When the police returned to the leaders without Jesus,
the leaders asked "Why didn't you arrest him?"

The police replied
"There has never been anyone who has spoken like him"

Jesus, in the history of the world, there has never been anyone
 who has spoken about goodness and truth like you
