CORPUS CHRISTI
The Last Supper, Bouveret, 19th century. [PD-US]
On the first day of the
Feast of Unleavened Bread,
when they sacrificed the Passover lamb,
Jesus’ disciples said to him,
"Where do you want us to go
and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
He sent two of his disciples and said to them,
"Go into the city and a man will meet you,
carrying a jar of water.
Follow him.
Wherever he enters, say to the master of the house,
'The Teacher says, "Where is my guest room
where I may eat the Passover with my
disciples?"'
Then he will show you a large upper room furnished
and ready.
Make the preparations for us there."
The disciples then went off, entered the city,
and found it just as he had told them;
and they prepared the Passover.
While they were eating,
he took bread, said the blessing,
broke it, gave it to them, and said,
"Take it; this is my body."
Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to
them,
and they all drank from it.
He said to them,
"This is my blood of the covenant,
which will be shed for many.
Amen, I say to you,
I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine
until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom
of God."
Then, after singing a hymn,
they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Mk 14:12-16, 22-26

Beautiful, Debby! When we think about what Jesus was willing to do for us, what He stood for and professed, how He loved and embraced so many, we have such a perfect example of how we should live today... I needed this reminder!
ReplyDeleteI'm always so grateful that, knowing he was to be tortured and killed, he gave the most perfect gift to the world--the gift of Himself in the Eucharist. That is pure love.
