Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
"For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes." 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Holy Thursday - The Last Supper. There is a quiet confidence in Jesus the night of His last actions, He knew His hour had come. Before He leaves He celebrates His life, death and resurrection. He handed over His body, as food for the journey, as a blessing to our souls. Paul, in his words in Corinthians, he understood the Passover meal, the saving grace that it gave to the Jews now in the Last Supper of His Lord, even though he wasn't there he completely understood the simplicity of Jesus's actions. Jesus did not leave without preparing Himself and us with food for the journey. He honors His Father as He passes over from this life to eternal life.

What is God saying to me: There is power in the stillness and simplicity of My Sons actions the night before His death. This was His gift to you so no matter where in life you find yourself, He is always there. Believe
Dear Father, this Lenten journey draws to an end and it has been a difficult one celebrating from a distance but I know there is purpose in all that You do. The simplicity of life is to be pondered, the results that we seek are they fulfilling. I thank You for Your love that continues to transform my life, I thank You for sending Your Son to suffer on my behalf. I thank You for the bread of life that You give today, may I in simple ways make a difference through Your love. Prayers for those struggling to breath because of covid19, heal them Lord and give them new life, in Your Son Jesus. Bless this day Father, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us
