A reflection on today's Scripture for the Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper:
Reading I: Exodus 12:1-8, 11-14
Psalm 116:12-13, 15-16bc, 17-18
Reading II: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Gospel: John 13:1-15
As members of the Body of Christ, Jesus commands us to imitate Him and use the ordinary things that we have at our disposal to love and serve our neighbor.
On this Feast of the Lord's Last Supper, as we recall the night when Jesus instituted the Sacrament of the Eucharist, may He grant us the grace to do everything with great love.
Nourished by the food He gives us—His own sacred Body and Blood—let us become food for others, giving, like Him, the gift of ourselves. Little by little, we may begin to fulfill His command that like Him, so also, we should do.
Like bread and wine that became more than they appeared to be, so too will the little things we do out of love for our neighbor, in imitation of Christ, become more than they seem.
We remember! We celebrate! We believe!
