Palm Sunday & Holy Thursday

 

 

HOLY THURSDAY

 

I was asked to be the Deacon of the Altar for Holy Thursday.  This meant that I was responsible for the deacon parts for the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

 

I also chanted the "Kyrie, Eleison."

"Sinner or saint... Is worthy of His righteous love.
We do this because He first did it to us. And He told us to do this, in remembrance of Him.

I cannot forget a homily I heard at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. many years ago.  It must have been either 1996 or 1997.  I was one of the servers.  The bishop there spoke of three main themes of Holy Thursday: (1) Eucharist, (2) priesthood, and (3) agape.  Fr. Gerome mentioned these in his homily.
