MAUNDY THURSDAY
As we gathered for the Holy Thursday liturgy, a night that redefined everything we know about power and leadership. We saw the institution of the priesthood not as a title of prestige, but as a birthright of service. Jesus, acting as our first Priest, showed us that the eucharist and the church are two halves of the same heart. While we look to the priest to bring us His body and blood, it is through usโHis modern-day disciplesโthat His living word finally reaches the world.
There is something so jarring, yet so profoundly beautiful, about watching the washing of the feet. In that humble act, the King of Kings looked up from the floor to remind us that to lead is to serve, and to love truly is to be willing to stoop low. It was a silent command: โAs I have done, so must you do.โ
We leave the church tonight not just as people who have prayed, but as a community commissioned to be His hands and feet in a world that is hungry for His grace.
