"Unless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday." —Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

04/02/2026

The feast of Maundy (or Holy) Thursday solemnly commemorates the institution of the Eucharist and is the oldest of the observances peculiar to Holy Week. On the Thursday of Holy Week, we recall the first Passover meal, also known as The Last Supper.

Here are a few more things to keep in mind on this day:

1) Also called Maundy Thursday.
*Maundy also means commandment.

On Holy Thursday, Jesus commanded us to love one another, saying: “Love one another, just as I have loved you, you should also love one another.” (John 13:34)

2) Jesus washed his disciples’ feet.

“If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.” (John 13: 14-15)

3) Jesus instituted the Eucharist and the priesthood.

Jesus commanded his apostles to “do this in memory” and to celebrate the Eucharist until his return.

The institution of the Eucharist is mentioned in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It is also shared in Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians. (Mt. 26:17-29; Mk. 14:12-25; Lk. 22:7-20; 1 Cor. 11:23-26)

4) Holy Thursday is the beginning of the Paschal Triduum.

This day is followed by Good Friday and Holy Saturday. Each of these days is significant as we prepare for Easter Sunday!

5) Following Mass, we adore the Blessed Sacrament at the Altar of Repose.

The faithful are invited to join in adoration and there is no traditional dismissal from Holy Thursday Mass.
