I have just returned from the Mass of the Lord's Supper which always moves me deeply - the humility of our Lord re-enacted by our priests and deacons. All are welcome to come for foot-washing and I really have no words to express my feelings.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you, John, this evening as you won't be experiencing the Triduum for a few weeks. I expect the Mass of the Lord's Supper will be very special for you this year.
Blessings.
It is my favorite liturgy of the year. I told our parish this morning that we have a great responsibility in prayer for the whole church today as they celebrate Good Friday. We can celebrate Mass and the Resurrection for those who only have communion services today.
