Holy Thursday, the first day of the Triduum, three days focused on the last days of Jesus and culminating with the Resurrection, celebrates the institution of the priesthood and the Holy Eucharist, and the example of service symbolized by the washing of the feet....the maundatum in Latin, giving the name Maundy Thursday to this day. It is a day we learn what Jesus meant to give of self, to serve, and not to count the cost. He has given us the example, and as his followers, he asks us to do the same. An would-be impossible task, if he did not feed us with himself in the Eucharist, the reception of which makes us a bit more like him each time we receive it. The priesthood insures that the Bread of Life will always be available. Jesus thought of everything. May we show our gratitude by incorporating his example into our lives.
