longing with tormented heart
to
be with Your dear ones only
for a quiet hour apart.
Sinless
Lamb and fallen creature,
one last Pascal Meal to eat,
one
last lesson as their teacher
washing Your disciples' feet.
“When You Woke that Thursday Morning”
Jaroslav Vajda
Life is inconsistent. Happiness,
love, health, and wealth wax and wane like a tide leaving behind
shallow pools of joy, disappointment, hope, and anger. Jesus'
ministry on earth seemed much the same as we remember Him on Maundy
Thursday, having one Last Supper with those He loves, foretelling the salvation of the world that was to come while a cross of torture
and shame waited for Him at Calvary.
Whether
today you're sitting around a dinner table with friends or marching
towards your Calvary, Jesus remains unchanging at your side: a King
who has died for you and will still wash your feet. Today and
everyday, you can find Him in the bread and wine of the Sacrament
of the Eucharist that was instituted by our Lord on that fateful Thursday two-thousand years ago, as always waiting for you with forgiveness ready in
His hands. Go and take refuge in Him this week. Click here to find a church near you.
“Taste
and see that the Lord is good—
blessed are those who take refuge in
Him.”
