And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Luke 22:19 (KJV)
Maundy Thursday
“Why is tonight different than all other nights.” Tonight commemorates the exodus of the Jews from slavery in Egypt. And the moment of the Last Supper.
This meditation from Luke 22 is a contemplation on Maundy Thursday. The fifth day of Holy Week, falling on the Thursday before Easter. Here we will reflect on the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles and His washing of their feet.
I hope you will take a minute to enjoy listening to "Washer Of Feet'" at the end of the meditation from Liturgical Folk, an ensemble group that beautifully pairs historic church language with modern folk sounds.
Accept this prayer of benediction to remember as Jesus took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave it unto you, saying, “This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.” In this may you know the sacrifice of Christ, the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit, and encounter the face of God now and always.
