  • Today, we gather in profound reverence to commemorate Maundy Thursday, a day that holds a unique and sacred place in our Christian faith. On this solemn occasion, we remember the Last Supper, the moment when our Lord Jesus Christ shared the Eucharist with His disciples, giving us a profound and enduring gift-the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
    The Last Supper was a poignant expression of love, humility, and selflessness. Jesus, our Savior, took bread and wine, blessed them, and shared them with His disciples, saying, "This is my body... This is my blood... Do this in remembrance of me." In those simple yet profound words and actions, He instituted the Eucharist-a gift that continues to nourish our souls and strengthen our faith.
    As we come together to celebrate the Eucharist on this Maundy Thursday, we are invited to reflect on the incredible love of our Lord. Just as He washed the feet of His disciples as a symbol of service and humility, He offers us His body and blood as a source of grace, forgiveness, and spiritual sustenance.
    The Eucharist is not merely a ritual; it is a sacred encounter with the living Christ. In this blessed sacrament, we are united with Him, with one another, and with the countless faithful who have partaken in this sacred feast throughout history.
    Let us approach the Eucharist with hearts filled with gratitude and reverence. Let us remember that through the Eucharist, we are bound together as the mystical body of Christ, called to love and serve one another as He did. As we receive His body and blood, may we be transformed and strengthened to be His disciples in the world, sharing His love, mercy, and grace with all we encounter.
    On this Maundy Thursday, let us not only celebrate the institution of the Eucharist but also embrace the call to live out the message of Christ's love through our actions and service to others.
    May the blessings of this holy celebration fill your hearts with peace and your lives with the joy of Christ's presence.
