제1독서
탈출기. 12,1-8.11-14
그 무렵 1 주님께서 이집트 땅에서 모세와 아론에게 말씀하셨다.
2 “너희는 이달을 첫째 달로 삼아, 한 해를 시작하는 달로 하여라.
3 이스라엘의 온 공동체에게 이렇게 일러라.
‘이달 초열흘날 너희는 가정마다 작은 가축을 한 마리씩,
집집마다 작은 가축을 한 마리씩 마련하여라.
4 만일 집에 식구가 적어 짐승 한 마리가 너무 많거든,
사람 수에 따라 자기 집에서 가장 가까운 이웃과 함께 짐승을 마련하여라.
저마다 먹는 양에 따라 짐승을 골라라.
5 이 짐승은 일 년 된 흠 없는 수컷으로 양이나 염소 가운데에서 마련하여라.
6 너희는 그것을 이달 열나흗날까지 두었다가,
이스라엘의 온 공동체가 모여 저녁 어스름에 잡아라.
7 그리고 그 피는 받아서, 짐승을 먹을 집의 두 문설주와 상인방에 발라라.
8 그날 밤에 그 고기를 먹어야 하는데,
불에 구워, 누룩 없는 빵과 쓴나물을 곁들여 먹어야 한다.
11 그것을 먹을 때는, 허리에 띠를 매고 발에는 신을 신고 손에는 지팡이를 쥐고,
서둘러 먹어야 한다. 이것이 주님을 위한 파스카 축제다.
12 이날 밤 나는 이집트 땅을 지나면서,
사람에서 짐승에 이르기까지 이집트 땅의 맏아들과 맏배를 모조리 치겠다.
그리고 이집트 신들을 모조리 벌하겠다. 나는 주님이다.
13 너희가 있는 집에 발린 피는 너희를 위한 표지가 될 것이다.
내가 이집트를 칠 때, 그 피를 보고 너희만은 거르고 지나가겠다.
그러면 어떤 재앙도 너희를 멸망시키지 않을 것이다.
14 이날이야말로 너희의 기념일이니,
이날 주님을 위하여 축제를 지내라.
이를 영원한 규칙으로 삼아 대대로 축제일로 지내야 한다.’”
제2독서
코린토 1서. 11,23-26
형제 여러분, 23 나는 주님에게서 받은 것을 여러분에게도 전해 주었습니다.
곧 주 예수님께서는 잡히시던 날 밤에 빵을 들고
24 감사를 드리신 다음,
그것을 떼어 주시며 말씀하셨습니다.
“이는 너희를 위한 내 몸이다. 너희는 나를 기억하여 이를 행하여라.”
25 또 만찬을 드신 뒤에 같은 모양으로 잔을 들어 말씀하셨습니다.
“이 잔은 내 피로 맺는 새 계약이다.
너희는 이 잔을 마실 때마다 나를 기억하여 이를 행하여라.”
26 사실 주님께서 오실 때까지, 여러분은 이 빵을 먹고 이 잔을 마실 적마다
주님의 죽음을 전하는 것입니다.
복음
요한. 13,1-15
1 파스카 축제가 시작되기 전,
예수님께서는 이 세상에서 아버지께로 건너가실 때가 온 것을 아셨다.
그분께서는 이 세상에서 사랑하신 당신의 사람들을 끝까지 사랑하셨다.
2 만찬 때의 일이다.
악마가 이미 시몬 이스카리옷의 아들 유다의 마음속에
예수님을 팔아넘길 생각을 불어넣었다.
3 예수님께서는 아버지께서 모든 것을 당신 손에 내주셨다는 것을,
또 당신이 하느님에게서 나왔다가 하느님께 돌아간다는 것을 아시고,
4 식탁에서 일어나시어 겉옷을 벗으시고 수건을 들어 허리에 두르셨다.
5 그리고 대야에 물을 부어 제자들의 발을 씻어 주시고,
허리에 두르신 수건으로 닦기 시작하셨다.
6 그렇게 하여 예수님께서 시몬 베드로에게 이르시자
베드로가, “주님, 주님께서 제 발을 씻으시렵니까?” 하고 말하였다.
7 예수님께서는 “내가 하는 일을 네가 지금은 알지 못하지만
나중에는 깨닫게 될 것이다.” 하고 대답하셨다.
8 그래도 베드로가 예수님께 “제 발은 절대로 씻지 못하십니다.” 하니,
예수님께서 그에게 대답하셨다.
“내가 너를 씻어 주지 않으면
너는 나와 함께 아무런 몫도 나누어 받지 못한다.”
9 그러자 시몬 베드로가 예수님께 말하였다.
“주님, 제 발만 아니라 손과 머리도 씻어 주십시오.”
10 예수님께서 그에게 말씀하셨다.
“목욕을 한 이는 온몸이 깨끗하니 발만 씻으면 된다.
너희는 깨끗하다. 그러나 다 그렇지는 않다.”
11 예수님께서는 이미 당신을 팔아넘길 자를 알고 계셨다.
그래서 “너희가 다 깨끗한 것은 아니다.” 하고 말씀하신 것이다.
12 예수님께서는 제자들의 발을 씻어 주신 다음,
겉옷을 입으시고 다시 식탁에 앉으셔서 그들에게 이르셨다.
“내가 너희에게 한 일을 깨닫겠느냐?
13 너희가 나를 ‘스승님’, 또 ‘주님’ 하고 부르는데,
그렇게 하는 것이 옳다. 나는 사실 그러하다.
14 주님이며 스승인 내가 너희의 발을 씻었으면,
너희도 서로 발을 씻어 주어야 한다.
15 내가 너희에게 한 것처럼 너희도 하라고, 내가 본을 보여 준 것이다.”

- Holy Thursday -
Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper
Daily Mass : http://www.catholictv.com/shows/daily-mass
Reading 1
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
“This month shall stand at the head of your calendar;
you shall reckon it the first month of the year.
Tell the whole community of Israel:
On the tenth of this month every one of your families
must procure for itself a lamb, one apiece for each household.
If a family is too small for a whole lamb,
it shall join the nearest household in procuring one
and shall share in the lamb
in proportion to the number of persons who partake of it.
The lamb must be a year-old male and without blemish.
You may take it from either the sheep or the goats.
You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month,
and then, with the whole assembly of Israel present,
it shall be slaughtered during the evening twilight.
They shall take some of its blood
and apply it to the two doorposts and the lintel
of every house in which they partake of the lamb.
That same night they shall eat its roasted flesh
with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
“This is how you are to eat it:
with your loins girt, sandals on your feet and your staff in hand,
you shall eat like those who are in flight.
It is the Passover of the LORD.
For on this same night I will go through Egypt,
striking down every firstborn of the land, both man and beast,
and executing judgment on all the gods of Egypt—I, the LORD!
But the blood will mark the houses where you are.
Seeing the blood, I will pass over you;
thus, when I strike the land of Egypt,
no destructive blow will come upon you.
“This day shall be a memorial feast for you,
which all your generations shall celebrate
with pilgrimage to the LORD, as a perpetual institution.”
Responsorial Psalm
R. (cf. 1 Cor 10:16) Our blessing-cup is a communion with the Blood of Christ.
How shall I make a return to the LORD
for all the good he has done for me?
The cup of salvation I will take up,
and I will call upon the name of the LORD.
R. Our blessing-cup is a communion with the Blood of Christ.
Precious in the eyes of the LORD
is the death of his faithful ones.
I am your servant, the son of your handmaid;
you have loosed my bonds.
R. Our blessing-cup is a communion with the Blood of Christ.
To you will I offer sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and I will call upon the name of the LORD.
My vows to the LORD I will pay
in the presence of all his people.
R. Our blessing-cup is a communion with the Blood of Christ.
Reading 2
Brothers and sisters:
I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you,
that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over,
took bread, and, after he had given thanks,
broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.”
In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying,
“This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup,
you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.
Gospel
Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come
to pass from this world to the Father.
He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end.
The devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over.
So, during supper,
fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power
and that he had come from God and was returning to God,
he rose from supper and took off his outer garments.
He took a towel and tied it around his waist.
Then he poured water into a basin
and began to wash the disciples’ feet
and dry them with the towel around his waist.
He came to Simon Peter, who said to him,
“Master, are you going to wash my feet?”
Jesus answered and said to him,
“What I am doing, you do not understand now,
but you will understand later.”
Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered him,
“Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me.”
Simon Peter said to him,
“Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well.”
Jesus said to him,
“Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed,
for he is clean all over;
so you are clean, but not all.”
For he knew who would betray him;
for this reason, he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
So when he had washed their feet
and put his garments back on and reclined at table again,
he said to them, “Do you realize what I have done for you?
You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am.
If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet,
you ought to wash one another’s feet.
I have given you a model to follow,
so that as I have done for you, you should also do.”

«If I, then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you also must wash one another's feet»
Mons. Josep Àngel SAIZ i Meneses Bishop of Terrassa
(Barcelona, Spain)
Today, we remember the first Holy Thursday of history, when Jesus Christ gathers his disciples to celebrate the Passover. It is then He inaugurates the new Passover of the new Covenant when his sacrifice is offered for our salvation.
Along with Eucharist, Christ institutes the ministerial priesthood with which the sacrament of the Eucharist is to be perpetuated. The preface of the Chrism Mass reveals its meaning: «He chooses men to share his sacred ministry by the laying on of hands. He appoints them to renew in his name the sacrifice of our redemption as they set before your family his paschal meal. He calls them to lead your people in love, nourish them by your word, and strengthen them through the sacraments».
And that very same Thursday, Jesus gives us his new commandment of love: «Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another» (Jn 13:34). Before, love was based upon the expected reward in return, or upon the fulfillment of an imposed norm. Now, Christian love is based upon Christ. He loves us to the point of giving his life: this must be the measure of the disciple's love and the signal, the characteristic of Christian recognition.
However, man has no capacity to love like this. It is not simply the fruit of an effort but God's wonderful gift. Fortunately, He is Love and —at the same time— source of love that we receive through the Eucharistic Bread.
Finally, today we should mull over the washing of the feet. With a servant's attitude, Jesus washes the Apostles' feet, and He recommends them to wash one another's feet (cf. Jn 13:14). There is something more than a lesson in humility in the Master's gesture. It is like an anticipation, like a symbol of his Passion, of the total humiliation He has to suffer to save all men.
Theologian Romano Guardini says that «the attitude of our littleness bowing down in front of the great is not yet an attitude of humility. It is simply, an attitude to truth. But when the great bows down before our littleness that is true humility». This is why Jesus Christ is really humble. Before this humble Christ our usual patterns shatter. Jesus Christ turn human values over while inviting us to follow him to build a better and different world based on service.

This evening we begin the holy days of the Paschal Triduum, ending Lent and walking with Jesus to his death and resurrection. These days are about Jesus. But, we too, in the company of Jesus, have our part in the story. Why? Because, we live daily the Paschal Mystery of Life, Death and Resurrection.
As we pray with today’s readings, we can use our imagination and enter the scenes presented to us through Scripture.
It was the summer of 2001 when I was at the Jesuit Retreat House, Eastern Point, MA, praying through the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola in the 30-day retreat offered that year. Not to jump ahead to Easter, but it was my prayer of the 4th week, of discovering the resurrected Christ and sharing in the joy of finding him, alive!
There I was in Gloucester, MA, at the harbor-side Fisherman’s Memorial to those lost at sea. Also, a new statue of the women who watched and waited for the boats to return had been erected. Where was I to meet Jesus this day? I am one of the women who was with him the final days of his life.
My imagination took me onto a boat. Its name, the Lumen Christi (The Light of Christ). While walking across the deck, I tripped over a bucket of water which spilled over my feet and I am flat on deck. Feeling like a klutz, a man came up to me, kindly gave me his hand and helped me up. I sat down on a small keg feeling foolish and sore. Without judgement or comment, he tended my bruised knees, then gently took a towel and began to dry my feet. It was at that moment I recognized him, Christ, the risen Jesus on his knees before me! He invited me to journey on the Lumen Christi into the future, doing what he has done, in memory of him. He invited me to share his story, and do what he has done with care in service to others and creation. Lumen Christi would be my way.
Today, we recall God’s loving, ancient fidelity. Let us be with Jesus in the breaking of bread, and as he washes and dries the feet of the apostles. How can we be with Jesus by being bread for others, and servant, as a sign, symbol and sacrament of Christ’s presence? To be Eucharist! Through our baptism, are we not anointed to be his presence and to carry on the work of the Gospel? We were anointed to carry on all that we have been taught as disciples. We are invited to be as he was. Our lives are given and shared, broken and eaten in loving service and too, at times, sacrifice.
Also, today the sacred oils were blessed at the Chrism Mass. These oils are the sacramental sign and symbol for anointing at life’s important moments, recognizing God with us. These are times when we are blessed with the oils recognizing a sacramental, holy life at birth, illness, death, commitment, and the call we each have to discipleship, in whatever path we choose. The Spirit of the Lord is upon us because we have been anointed!
May this Easter Triduum be an opportunity to be with Jesus, as we hear his story, reflect on his arrest, betrayal, trial, death and pray with him into the joy of his resurrected presence — one day at a time. May we stand in awe of this great gift of the Paschal Mystery. May we know God’s loving fidelity.
Jesus asks, “Do you realize what I have done for you?”

KNOW JESUS. NO FEAR. | ||
| "The Lord Jesus on the night in which He was betrayed took bread, and after He had given thanks, broke it and said, 'This is My body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.' " �1 Corinthians 11:23-24 | ||
I wrote this during a curfew. Because of racial violence, my city was under a curfew. Our Mass of the Last Supper had to be finished in 30-40 minutes so that parishioners could be home by the 8:00 PM curfew. only a handful of people came to the Mass because most people were afraid to come. (The parish and pastor are near the center of the violence.) On this day when we especially celebrate the Lord's gift to us of His Body and Blood (see 1 Cor 11:24-25), we should realize even more deeply that to know personally our Eucharistic Jesus means that no fear will rule our lives. The saying is absolutely true: "KNOW JESUS. NO FEAR." When we receive the Body and Blood of Jesus, we receive God, Who is Love (1 Jn 4:8, 16). We receive perfect Love, Who "casts out all fear" (1 Jn 4:18). The Eucharist is the fulfillment of the Passover, when the Lord commanded His people to leave the slavery of fear (see Rm 8:15). After the first Eucharist, Jesus fearlessly died on the cross (see 1 Cor 11:26). The Eucharist is where the fearful become fearless by the transforming love of the Lord. KNOW JESUS. NO FEAR. | ||
| Prayer: Father, You have sent me not a fearful spirit (2 Tm 1:7) but the Spirit of adoption (Rm 8:15). In this Spirit, make me fearless. | ||
| Promise: "How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good He has done for Me? The cup of salvation I will take up, and I will call upon the name of the Lord." —Ps 116:12-13 | ||
| Praise: "Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore. O make us love Thee more and more. O make us love Thee more and more." |

Jesus' supreme humility and unfailing love
Does your love waver when you encounter bitter disappointments and injury from others? As Jesus' hour of humiliation draws near he reveals to his disciples the supreme humility which shaped the love he had for them. He stoops to perform a menial task reserved for servants - the washing of smelly, dirty feet. In stooping to serve his disciples Jesus knew he would be betrayed by one of them and that the rest would abandon him through fear and disloyalty. Such knowledge could have easily led to bitterness or hatred. Jesus met the injury of betrayal and disloyalty with the greatest humility and supreme love.
Let the love of Christ rule in your heart and actions
Jesus loved his disciples to the very end, even when they failed him and forsook him. The Lord loves each of us freely and unconditionally. His love has power to set us free to love and serve others with Christ-like compassion and humility. Paul the Apostle tells us that Christ's gift of love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us (Romans 5:5 and 8:35-39). Does the love of Christ rule in your heart, thoughts, intentions and actions?
The love of Christ conquers all and never fails
Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD) in his sermon for Holy Thursday wrote:
"He had the power of laying down his life; we by contrast cannot choose the length of our lives, and we die even if it is against our will. He, by dying, destroyed death in himself; we are freed from death only in his death. His body did not see corruption; our body will see corruption and only then be clothed through him in incorruption at the end of the world. He needed no help from us in saving us; without him we can do nothing. He gave himself to us as the vine to the branches; apart from him we cannot have life.Finally, even if brothers die for brothers, yet no martyr by shedding his blood brings forgiveness for the sins of his brothers, as Christ brought forgiveness to us. In this he gave us, not an example to imitate but a reason for rejoicing. Inasmuch, then, as they shed their blood for their brothers, the martyrs provided "the same kind of meal" as they had received at the Lord's table. Let us then love one another as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us."
"Lord Jesus, your love conquers all and never fails. Help me to love others freely, with heart-felt compassion, kindness and goodness. Where there is injury, may I sow peace rather than strife."
Psalm 116:12-13, 16-18
12 What shall I render to the LORD for all his bounty to me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD,
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
16 O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
A Daily Quote for Lent: Christ chose to be a servant who offered himself for us, by Augustine of Hippo, 354-430 A.D.
"Even though the man Christ Jesus, in the form of God together with the Father with whom He is one God, accepts our sacrifice, nonetheless He has chosen in the form of a servant to be the sacrifice rather than accept it. Therefore, He is the priest Himself Who presents the offering, and He Himself is what is offered." (excerpt from City of God, 10,20)
