Maundy Thursday (also called Holy Thursday) is the Thursday before Easter. The word Maundy comes from the Latin mandatum, meaning “command.”
It refers to Jesus’ words in Gospel of John 13:34:
“A new commandment I give you, that you love one another.”
Jesus shared his last meal with his disciples before His arrest-the institution of Communion.
Jesus washed his disciples feet- radical act of humility and servant leadership.
After the meal, He prayed in anguish - garden of Gethsemane,
before His betrayal.
Today is the day to set aside some time to be quiet, reflective and intimate with our Lord.
Today prepares us for Easter Sunday He is risen and the sorrow of Good Friday.
