Holy Thursday | 2016

I give you a new commandment: Love one another as I have loved you.

— John 13:34

These are the words spoken by our Lord to His apostles at the Last Supper, after he completed the washing of the feet. We should emulate Christ's humility in living our lives in the imitation of His.

O God, who have called us to participate in this most sacred Supper, in which your Only Begotten Son, when about to hand himself over to death, entrusted to the Church a sacrifice new for all eternity, the banquet of his love, grant, we pray, that we may draw from so great a mystery, the fullness of charity and of life. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
