LISTEN | Morning Prayer - April 14, 2022 | Holy Thursday

"I give you a new commandment, says the Lord: love one another as I have loved you." - Jn. 13:34

The last three days of Holy Week are referred to as the Easter or Sacred Triduum (Triduum Sacrum), the three-part drama of Christ's redemption: Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday.

By meditating on the Gospels, we can recall to mind Jesus' actions of that first Holy Thursday, which included: (1) the eating of the Easter lamb or the paschal meal; (2) the washing of the disciple's feet; (3) the institution of the Most Holy Eucharist (the first Mass at which Jesus Christ, the eternal high priest, is the celebrant; the first Communion of the apostles; the first conferring of Holy Orders); (4) the foretelling of Judas' betrayal and Peter's denials; (5) the farewell discourse and priestly prayer of Jesus; (6) the agony and capture of Jesus in the Garden of Olives.

Let us spend this time with Jesus in prayer and adoration for the wondrous sacrament He instituted on this day. Join us today in Praying the Morning Psalms, wherever you are!
