The Divine Hours of Lent

Thursday March 20, 2008

Maundy Thursday - March 20, 2008

Jesus, as the Passover meal was ending, said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you. But not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, 'I am going away, and I am coming back again to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

"From now on, I will not talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me; but I do as the Father has commanded me so that the world may know that I love the Father."

Jesus then said, "Arise, let us be on our way."
