Holy Thursday Mass

As the Easter season is upon us, I am reminded of what these next days are really about. Not the easter egg hunts, chocolate eggs, or getting to have what we gave up. But it is a reminder of what Jesus lived his life for, to serve others. Mass last night was a this reminder for me. It is probably one of the most powerful masses for me, the washing of the feet and the last supper. Jesus wanted to wash the feet of his disiples and some of them beleived that this act was below him. But he did it anyway. We are reminded of this during the mass when the priests/deacons wash the feet of others. Others were then invited up to have their feet washed and wash the feet of others. What a powerful thing to see. So I am reminded to do things for others and they will do for you.

And then seeing the alter stripped and the blessed sacrament taken from the church and not to return until the easter vigil. A very somber moment and the only mass the does not end with worship & praise.
