Today is Holy Thursday, also known as Maundy Thursday. It commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ, when he established the sacrament of Holy Communion, and the institution of the priesthood. On this day, Jesus washed the feet of his 12 disciples, showing them how they should love one another just as he loved them. We can all say, “Jesus gave His life for me.” Jesus continues to stoop, to wash us, to serve us, to sanctify us, and to love us through the priesthood and the Eucharist.
As we walk with Jesus during these final hours, let’s reflect on what it means to love and accept love. Will you stay with Christ allowing His wounds to transform your own wounds. Will you allow God to capture and transform your heart in love?
I accept Your gentle invitation of love, dear Lord, to spend this night in vigil with You. May I enter Your Heart as it faced the coming persecution You were to endure for my sins. May I console Your Sacred Heart and know the love and Mercy that flowed, pouring Your love into the world. Thank you for serving me and the world with Your love. Dying to yourself to glorify God and showing us the path to life. Amen
