Maundy Thursday

We have entered into the Easter Triduum, following Our Lord and keeping him company in his great suffering. How much we owe Him for what he endured for our salvation! It's a great point to just sit and meditate on: what Our Lord must have felt when all his disciples - those that He called friends and loved so much - turned and fled, in that hour when, humanly speaking, He must have felt the need of them most. Let us not flee and leave Him to suffer alone, but let us walk with Him over the coming days and compassionate Him in His terrible sorrow.

The Most Blessed Sacrament was placed in the hearse above the tabernacle.
