Holy Thursday

Last night, each of our online classes had a beautiful discussion of Holy Thursday. We read from Exodus 12, learned about the Seder Supper, contemplated Jesus' washing of his disciples' feet, and the institution of both the Eucharist and the priesthood.  God was (and always is) powerfully present through the internet!

Today is a beautiful opportunity to thank Father Benny with a photo. He continually speaks of his prayers for his people. Tell him your offering of prayers and sacrifices for him.  Thank him for saying "yes" to his vocation.  Kids, get out the sidewalk chalk and art supplies. Your creativity is welcome!  Email the picture to me with text that says you give permission for Blessed Sacrament to use the picture on our website and Facebook page.  Help us shower him with many flowers in this spiritual bouquet.

If technology cooperates, Father Benny will have the Mass of the Lord's Supper available on the Blessed Sacrament YouTube channel this evening.  The church website also has a new page of archived masses. 

Looking ahead, we also would love any photos of families dressed in their Easter best and celebrating the Resurrection at home. 

Today, how do we respond to Jesus' invitation: "Can you not watch and pray one hour with me?"
