제1독서
<파스카 만찬에 관한 규칙>
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
<여러분은 먹고 마실 적마다 주님의 죽음을 전하는 것입니다.>
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
<예수님께서는 당신의 사람들을 끝까지 사랑하셨다.>
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, 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. John 13
This day is a very special day in the Christian world. It marks the end of Lent and the beginning of the Sacred Triduum - three very sacred days in our faith tradition. The celebration this night is so special that in each parish community there may only be one liturgy (except where a special consideration is made for the elderly with an earlier liturgy). For a very long time in our tradition, this celebration is so special, we hope everyone can be together in one celebration on this night.
Tonight we celebrate the gift of the Eucharist. We might celebrate the Eucharist every day, or certainly every Sunday, but tonight we celebrate its gift to us and its meaning in the context of the life giving story of Jesus' passion, death and resurrection for us. And, tonight, we celebrate the gift of ministry. We are not only the gifted tonight. We are given a lesson in how we are to give ourselves to and for each other. Tonight we celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Orders, the gift of Priesthood to the Church, but on this night we solemnly reflect upon the gift of priesthood that we all receive from Jesus, as those who are bathed in him in Baptism.
With the Exodus story of the Passover tradition and with Paul's account of the Last Supper story, we are free to enjoy John's account of that special night. It has a dramatic feel to it. John doesn't tell us that Jesus gave us his body and blood at the supper and then after the supper washed his disciples' feet. He doesn't mention the gift of the Eucharist at all! This is not an omission. This story of the washing of the feet is the story of the Eucharist. They are identical in John. This story explains the Eucharist. It tells us what it means. By washing his disciples' feet, Jesus is saying, "This is my body; This is my blood; Do this in memory of me." And, he is also saying, "I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do."
This is why on this special night we act out the Gospel. We need to act it out to feel it, to let the experience of seeing it happen touch our hearts. By surrendering to his Passion and Death on the Cross, Jesus washes our feet. By being broken and given for us in the Eucharist, Jesus is giving us an example and a commandment for how we are to be broken and given for each other, by washing each other's feet.
The foot washing teaches several things. It is not easy to have our feet washed. They smell. They are not always very attractive. It is a part of our bodies that we rarely let others touch or caress. And, it is not easy to wash the feet of another. This is all a powerful drama representing the power of love. It is not easy for me to let you love me. It is not easy for me to love you. Parts of me are not very acceptable. I'll let you love certain parts of me, but rarely will I let anyone close to the "smelliest" and most unattractive parts of me. And, when I love you, I often will love you when you are most presentable or attractive. When you put me off or when you are not at your best, I don't do so well at loving.
Jesus loves us unconditionally, that is, without condition. He loves us, not because we deserve it. He loves us because we need loving. He tells us to love the same way. Tonight we are given his Eucharistic, self-sacrificing example of how to love each other. "This much," he says. "Love each other this completely, this freely, loving the most unattractive parts of each other, where love is needed most."
Tonight, when we watch this example of his love for us, and when we receive the Eucharist together, let us let Jesus love us. We can pray in our hearts, "Lord, I so desire for you to love me. I don't want to hold back, hold away from you, those unpresentable parts inside of me. I don't want anything covered up, anymore. I want to be transparent and free before you. Wash all of me with your love." And we might ask, "Lord, let your body and blood bring me into the most intimate communion with you tonight. Fill my heart. Push out all of the fear and anxiety, all of the anger and frustration, all the pettiness and lust. Fill me tonight, Lord, so that I might be filled with your peace and learn how to love others this way. Help me to give myself to those closest to me in the days ahead. Help me to be self-sacrificing, thinking of their needs first. Help me to serve them and care for them and to delight in losing myself in feeding their hungers. And, Lord, let me hear the cries, the hungers and thirsts of so many more of your people, not only close to me, but in my city and throughout the world. On this special night, let me taste your desire that we all be one, through our sharing of this Eucharistic love."

THE SACRAMENT OF HUMILITY
“This is My body, Which is for you.” —1 Corinthians 11:24
Jesus “humbled Himself” (Phil 2:8). He emptied Himself of the glory He shared with the Father in heaven (Jn 17:5). He stooped down to caress and wash the sandal-clad, road-dusty feet of those who would shortly betray, abandon, and deny Him (Jn 13:5). He set aside His glory and took on the appearance of bread and wine to become one body with us. In His Eucharistic Body, given for us (1 Cor 11:24), He humbly became one with us who have participated in crucifying Him through our sins (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 598). He became even more humble by greatly and gladly desiring to do all these things (Lk 22:15) for us, His beloved.
Jesus said: “What I just did was to give you an example: as I have done, so you must do” (Jn 13:15). This is impossible for us in our proud humanity. So, Jesus gives us Himself in the Eucharist in the humble form of bread and wine. He commands us: “Take this and eat it...this is My body” (Mt 26:26). When we “eat this bread and drink this cup” (1 Cor 11:26), we “carry about in our bodies the dying” and the humility and the love of Jesus (2 Cor 4:10). We die to ourselves and let Him live in us (Gal 2:19-20). Jesus lives in us and we in Him (Jn 6:56; 17:23).
When you receive Jesus’ Eucharistic Body and Blood at Mass today, receive His humility. Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord (1 Pt 5:6) and embrace the total humility of the greatest Lover.
Prayer: Jesus, You gave Your body for me. I give my body to You.
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: “O Sacrament most holy, O Sacrament divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine.”

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.
Daily Quote from the Early Church Fathers: 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)
