Prayer: O God, Your Son Jesus Christ our Lord has left to us the meal of bread and wine in which we share His body and his blood. May we remember the love of Jesus. Remind us that His great love is with us every day and at every moment. May we take this love that Christ gives to us freely and go forth remember to love others always. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The word “Maundy” means commandment. Jesus gave the disciples the commandment to love others as He loved his disciples. And so we too go forth, remembering always to love others.
Read St. John
This is the day that Christ the Lamb of God gave himself into the hands of those who would slay Him.
This is the day that Christ gathered with His disciples in the upper room.
This is the day that Christ took a towel and washed the disciple’s feet, giving us an example that we should do to others as He has done to us.
This is the day that Christ our Lord gave us this holy feast, that we who celebration the Lord’s Supper come into the Lord’s resurrection and at the last day may reign with Him in heaven.
O God, Your Son Jesus Christ our Lord has left to us the meal of bread and wine in which we share His body and his blood. May we who celebrate this sing of His great love show in our lives the fruits of His redemption; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
