The Three Days, The Triduum, begins today. We remember the institution of the Eucharist and priesthood and the example of Jesus as he washed the feet of his apostles. The next day he would give the ultimate gift, his last drop of blood, his life, for us. "God so loved the world..." (cf. Jn 3:16). This is an ordinary workday for most, but in anticipation of the Liturgy of the Lord's Supper tonight, might we put ourselves in the mind-frame of Jesus and make an extra effort to serve one another, to feed one another, to be the bread that nourishes others. Perhaps keeping an image of Jesus kneeling at the feet of the Apostles with pitcher, basin and towel in our imaginations as we do our usual, might help make those routine tasks, signs of love and help us to imitate Jesus, even in these simple things. If at all possible, attendance at the evening liturgy and time before the blessed sacrament afterwards will help us more receptive to today's gifts.
