St. John Chrysostom: On Judas

"JUDAS was not converted while partaking of the sacred mysteries: hence on both sides his crime becomes the more heinous, both because imbued with such a purpose he approached the mysteries, and because he became none the better for approaching, neither from fear, nor from the benefit received, nor from the honor conferred on him."

~St. John Chrysostom: Hom. lxxxii in Matth.
