The Passover is a remembrance of the time when God brought the chosen people out of Egypt, by signs and wonders.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And at this Passover supper, Jesus, God Himself, prepares to bring all of humanity out of slavery to sin, through His death on the cross the next day.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And how does Jesus spend his last few hours of freedom?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
He washes the feet of His apostles.

Jesus came to serve, not to be served.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And in this Last Supper, that is what He did.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Giving the gift of the washing of the feet: an act of love and care, for those about to betray and abandon Him.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And then giving us the gift of the Eucharist, so that He will be with us always, until the end of the age.

Confronted with such generosity, given by the God-Man mere hours before he would be tortured and killed, should cause us to ponder our own lives.

It reminds me of this quote by St. Josemaria Escriva in his book, The Way:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"I don't understand how you can call yourself a Christian and lead such an idle, useless life. Have you forgotten Christ's life of toil?"
