Big day today.
Jesus knows he is to die tomorrow. This is his last meal with his friends.
He gives us the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist...
"Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my body, which will be given up for you"
"Take this, all of you, and drink from it, for this is the chalice of my blood, the blood of the new and eternal covenant, which will be poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins"
"Do this in memory of me"
And very importantly, he does the washing of feet... A hugely symbolic act, to tell his followers to follow HIS example.
Hope you all have a meaningful and happy day today.
Have a good supper in celebration this evening, and remember, tomorrow is a COMPULSORY day of fast and abstinence for all Catholics.
Peace be with you 🙏
