Mass of the Lord's Supper
Tonight we gathered for the first of three linked services that together form the Holy Triduum. We listened to John's Gospel of the Last Supper where Jesus washed the feet of his disciples as an example of service. Our Bishop washed the feet of parishioners including some of our confirmandi (who will get confirmed on Pentecost Sunday) and other parishioners who serve the parish in a variety of ways as readers, catechists, servers as well as in the local community.
The Bishop washes the feet of 12 parishioners as a sign of service. |
At the end of Mass we processed to place the host in the tabernacle in the Lady Chapel for a time of watch and praying with the Lord. We left in silence to return tomorrow for the Good Friday Service.
