Thursday In Holy Week

 

In order for there to be good beginnings there have to be good departings. On his last full day on earth Jesus gives love. He gives it exquisitely. In his tiredness he washes the tired feet of faithful friends. In his generosity he gives bread to his betrayer. In prophetic provision he bequeaths, through shared bread and wine, a sacrament that keeps him always alive to us. In his prayers he places the universal Church in the divine heart. In his anguish in the garden he fights with demons and with doubt, is led away captive to be mocked and tried. He will not sleep tonight. He calls us to watch and pray.
 
Lord, we will watch with you and pray with you.
