At the beginning of the Mass of the Lord’s Supper that we celebrate at sundown, Lent officially ends for Catholic Christians, and we enter the tiniest of the liturgical seasons of the year: Triduum.
In this special Mass, the only Mass of the year when we commemorate Jesus’ washing his disciples’ feet, we read about the institution of Holy Communion. We read:
For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes (1 Corinthians 11: 23-26).
For over 2,000 years, Catholic Christians have treasured this beautiful gift that Jesus gave us, his very self. And, we continue to celebrate the Eucharist (Mass) as the “source and summit” of our Christian faith. How incredibly blessed are we to be called.
In today’s photo, we see Fr. Bob celebrating the Eucharist in El Arado, a community of Curarén, F.M., Honduras, one of the 90 churches of our parish of St. Francisco de Asís, Reitoca.
