“He Loved Them to the End”: A Holy Thursday Meditation
Manage episode 477174929 series 2990405
In our meditation of the week for Holy Thursday: Fr. Donncha Ó hAodha offers a profound reflection on the enduring, limitless love of Jesus Christ as revealed in the Last Supper and the institution of the Eucharist. Entering the Upper Room with the Apostles, we are invited to contemplate the eternal love of Christ, who “loved them to the end,” and who gives us not a symbol but his very self in the Blessed Sacrament.
Fr. Donncha reminds us that Holy Thursday draws us into the heart of divine charity—the love of Christ poured out in the Eucharist and in the humble gesture of washing his disciples’ feet. Also being the feast of the priesthood, intimately bound to the Eucharist, we are reminded that priests are “the love of the heart of Jesus,” called to bring his presence into the world. The events of Holy Thursday call us to imitate Christ’s self-giving love, which brings lasting joy and peace.
