Holy Thursday

Holy Thursday 

~~~ Exodus 12:1-8, 11-14 ~~~ Psalm 116 ~~~ 

~~~ 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 ~~~ John 13:1-15 ~~~

How shall I make a return to the Lord?

It on so easy to take things for granted especially when we have easy access.

Every time we attend Mass and receive Eucharist, 

do we take the time to realize the gift we have?

On this Holy Thursday take the time to cherish the gift
Jesus gave of himself for us.

As Jesus was approaching his darkest hour he was thinking of us.

He consecrated his Body and Blood to nourish our souls forever.

Knowing that he was not going to remain physically he gave us himself.

He wanted us to have him with us so that we would not forget him.

Jesus loves us; he knew after he was gone we would desire to be close to him.

Now days we have pictures, recorded videos of our loved one.

Jesus went to the extreme he gave us his body and blood.

The best we can do today in showing our appreciation is to receive the Eucharist

with the utmost reverence...hugging it tenderly in our heart.

Imagine how you would embrace Jesus if walked up to you 

as you came forward to receive Communion.

For me the joy would be so overwhelming tears 

would be flowing from my eyes.

Cherish the Eucharist.

Look at it...touch it ever so lovingly.

It was given just for you.

Blessed to have the freedom to receive daily.

~~~Peace~~~~
