Ananias of Kerioth
Relative of Marie de Kériot, mother of Judas. On him too will weigh the dishonor and condemnation of Judas's betrayal.
Upset, it is he who indeed comes to tell Marie de Kériot of her son's betrayal:"Your son has betrayed the Master and handed him over to his enemies! He betrayed him with a kiss and I saw the Master struck and covered with spittle, scourged, crowned with thorns, burdened with the croix, crucified and death through your son. And our name the enemies of the Master shout in triumphant insolently and they tell of the deeds of your son who, for less than the price a lamb costs, sold the Messiah and, betraying him with a kiss, pointed him out to the guards."[1]
Character and appearance

Apostolic career
He has the happiness that Jesus Resurrected appears to him and the console[2]:"Jesus goes to him. He touches his head, telling him the same words already spoken to Mary of Simon[3]: "The parents who have done their Duty must not consider themselves responsible for the Sin of their relative. Take courage, homme! God is just. [Peace]] to you and to this house. I have come and you will go where I send you. For the extra Passover the disciples will be in Bethany. You will go to them and tell them that on the twelfth day after his death you saw the Lord at Keriot, alive and veritable in his Chair and Soul and Divinity. They will believe you, for I have already been much with them. (...)"Jesus charges him to witness towards the disciples and towards the inhabitants of Keriot guilty of hardness of heart towards Judas' mother, following her betrayal of Jesus and her suicide:
"...And even before that, you will go this very day to Keriot and ask the head of the synagogue to gather the people together, and you will say in the presence of everyone that I have come here, and let them remember my words of farewell.[4] They will certainly say to you, "Why did he not come to us?"
You will answer thus: "The Lord told me to tell you that if you had done what he told you to do toward the mother who was not guilty, he would have shown himself. You failed to love and that's why the Lord didn't show up."
