Jesus, the consecrated bread
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 13:1-15.
Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father. He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end.
The devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over. So, during supper,
fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God,
he rose from supper and took off his outer garments. He took a towel and tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and dry them with the towel around his waist. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Master, are you going to wash my feet?" Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand …More

On the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked: "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?"
He sent two of His disciples and said to them: "Go into the city and behold, you will meet a man among you, bearing a vessel of water. Follow him, and in the place where he enters say to the owner of the house: "Our Master says, 'Where is the house chamber, where …More
On the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked: "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?"
He sent two of His disciples and said to them: "Go into the city and behold, you will meet a man among you, bearing a vessel of water. Follow him, and in the place where he enters say to the owner of the house: "Our Master says, 'Where is the house chamber, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' And behold, he will show you a great upper room, laid out and prepared. There make ready for us." And His disciples went out and they came to the city. They found just as He told them, and they prepared the Passover.
When it was evening He arrived with the twelve. And as they reclined and ate, Jesus said: "Amen, I say to you, one of you who eat with Me will betray Me!"
But they began to lose heart, and they were saying to Him, each one: "Is it I?" But He said to them: "One of the twelve who dips with Me in the dish. The Son of Man goes just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whose hand the Son of Man is betrayed. It were better for that man if he had not been born!"
AND WHILE THEY WERE EATING, HE TOOK BREAD, GAVE THANKS, BROKE IT AND GAVE IT TO THEM. AND HE SAID TO THEM: "TAKE, THIS IS MY BODY, WHICH IS GIVEN FOR YOU FOR FORGIVENESS OF SINS! DO THIS FOR A COMMEMORATION OF ME!"
In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying:
"THIS IS MY BLOOD OF THE NEW COVENANT, WHICH IS SHED IN EXCHANGE FOR THE MANY!
DO THIS, AS OFTEN AS YOU DRINK IT, IN COMMEMORATION OF ME!"
AMEN, I SAY TO YOU, I SHALL NOT DRINK FROM THE FRUIT OF THE VINE AGAIN UNTIL THE DAY IN WHICH I SHALL DRINK IT ANEW IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD!"
Then they sang praises, and they went out to Tur Zaytay.
And Jesus said to them: "All of you will be ashamed of Me this night, for it is written: 'I shall smite the Shepherd, and his lambs will be scattered.' BUT WHEN I AM RISEN, I SHALL GO BEFORE YOU TO GALILEE!" " Mark 14,12-28

Holy Thursday (Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper)
Book of Exodus 12:1-8.11-14.
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
"This month shall stand at the head of your calendar; you shall reckon it the first month of the year.
Tell the whole community of Israel: On the tenth of this month every one of your families must procure for itself a lamb, one apiece for each household.

Book of Exodus 12:1-8.11-14.
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
"This month shall stand at the head of your calendar; you shall reckon it the first month of the year.
Tell the whole community of Israel: On the tenth of this month every one of your families must procure for itself a lamb, one apiece for each household.
If a family is too small for a whole lamb, it shall join the nearest household in procuring one and shall share in the lamb in proportion to the number of persons who partake of it.
The lamb must be a year-old male and without blemish. You may take it from either the sheep or the goats.
You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, and then, with the whole assembly of Israel present, it shall be slaughtered during the evening twilight.
They shall take some of its blood and apply it to the two doorposts and the lintel of every house in which they partake of the lamb.
That same night they shall eat its roasted flesh with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
"This is how you are to eat it: with your loins girt, sandals on your feet and your staff in hand, you shall eat like those who are in flight. It is the Passover of the LORD.
For on this same night I will go through Egypt, striking down every first--born of the land, both man and beast, and executing judgment on all the gods of Egypt - I, the LORD!
But the blood will mark the houses where you are. Seeing the blood, I will pass over you; thus, when I strike the land of Egypt, no destructive blow will come upon you.
"This day shall be a memorial feast for you, which all your generations shall celebrate with pilgrimage to the LORD, as a perpetual institution."
Psalms 116(115):12-13.15-16bc.17-18.
How shall I make a return to the LORD
for all the good he has done for me?
The cup of salvation I will take up,
and I will call upon the name of the LORD.
Precious in the eyes of the LORD
is the death of his faithful ones.
I am your servant, the son of your handmaid;
you have loosed my bonds.
To you will I offer sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and I will call upon the name of the LORD.
My vows to the LORD I will pay
in the presence of all his people.
First Letter to the Corinthians 11:23-26.
Brothers and sisters: I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread,
and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 13:1-15.
Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father. He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end.
The devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over. So, during supper,
fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God,
he rose from supper and took off his outer garments. He took a towel and tied it around his waist.
Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and dry them with the towel around his waist.
He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Master, are you going to wash my feet?"
Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later."
Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me."
Simon Peter said to him, "Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well."
Jesus said to him, "Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed, for he is clean all over; so you are clean, but not all."
For he knew who would betray him; for this reason, he said, "Not all of you are clean."
So when he had washed their feet (and) put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, "Do you realize what I have done for you?
You call me 'teacher' and 'master,' and rightly so, for indeed I am.
If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet.
I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.
