Turn Away From Sin and Be Faithful to the Gospel!
Holy Thursday
April 1, 2010- 7:00PM @ Saint Lucy
Strengthened in brotherly unity with their bishop, the parish priests return to their churches to prepare for the celebration on Thursday, for the Mass of the Lord's Supper.
This festive Mass is embroidered by several special rites: the reading of the mandatum, the foot washing, communion under both forms, and a procession with the Blessed Sacrament from the main tabernacle to an altar of repose. We linger after this celebration for prayer in the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and in our lives. We relish the Eucharist as our milk and honey for spiritual nourishment. In 48 hours, the catechumens will share this great gift of Jesus himself for the first time. Returning home, we continue the spirit of the mandatum and Eucharist around our own table.
