Love's Two Languages: Bread and Basin | Daily Readings | April 17, 2025 | Holy Thursday | Mass of the Lord’s Supper

Today’s Scripture reflections for the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper (Holy Thursday):First Reading (Exodus 12:1-8, 11-14): The instructions for the first Passover, prefiguring Christ's ultimate sacrifice that delivers His people from death to life.Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 116:12-13, 15-16bc, 17-18): A song of thanksgiving for deliverance, offering a life of service in gratitude for God's saving love.Second Reading (1 Corinthians 11:23-26): Paul recounts the institution of the Eucharist, where Christ gives His Body and Blood for the life of the world.Gospel (John 13:1-15): Jesus washes His disciples' feet, revealing that true greatness in His Kingdom comes through humble service.Through these readings, we are invited to experience the inseparable connection between worship and service, to receive Christ’s Body with reverence, and to live out His love by serving others with humility as we enter more deeply into the Sacred Triduum.A ministry of Christus Dominus Bread of Life.Produced in collaboration with Christus Dominus Studios.
