A Night of Memories, Holy Thursday, April 14, 2022

The Holy Triduum begins by remembering a night of remembering. On Jesus' final night before his death he gathers with the Twelve to celebrate the Passover Supper. On this final night of life for him, he and all Israel remember the foundational story of their faith, God's leading them out of slavery and into the Promised Land. Jesus also remembers his own life and the many encounters with sinners, disciples, the sick and lame, even the dead to whom he gave new life by the gift of his life. All these memories are kneaded into a loaf of unleavened bread and poured into a cup of wine so that his disciples memories of him might be living memories.
