Today is the final day Jesus is on earth and tonight he gathers his closest friends for the Last Supper. Holy Thursday is the first day of the Easter Triduum, a very sacred day. During Mass, the priest will wash the feet of parish members in memory of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples.
We read in Luke 22: 14-20 “When the hour came, he took his place at the table with the apostles. He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer, for, I tell you, I shall not eat it [again] until there is fulfillment in the kingdom of God.” Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said, “Take this and share it among yourselves; for I tell you [that] from this time on kingdom of God comes.” Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.” And likewise the cup after they had eaten saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.””
