This is my Body, this is my Blood

“That they love each other, as I have loved you”

With the celebration of Holy Thursday, not only does the Easter Triduum open. On this day we remember the institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper, but at the same time with the very words of Jesus Christ "Do this in memory of me," he entrusts his disciples with the task of continuing to celebrate this Sacrament in the communities (priestly ministry) . 

But they must carry out this mission as a service to others, not as a privilege; For this reason, this sign of self-giving is accompanied by the example of the washing of the feet. When Jesus gets up from the table, he takes off his robe and as the humblest servant begins to wash the feet of his disciples.

Today is a day to renew our commitment to truly live each Eucharist, value the sacrament of the priesthood as a service, and commit ourselves to imitate the example of Jesus in serving others.
