Mini Meditation – Holy Thursday

"Do you realize what I have done for you?”

Jesus asked His disciples this question in John 13:12. He has just washed their feet. The Son of God has knelt before His followers and cleaned the dirt from their feet. The second Person of the Blessed Trinity got down on the floor in a humble gesture of loving service.

"Do you realize what I have done for you?”

On the same night, Jesus took bread, broke and blessed it, and gave it to His disciples, saying “This is My Body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.” Then He took a cup of wine and said, “This cup is the new covenant in My Blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

"Do you realize what I have done for you?”

At that first Eucharist, Jesus gave Himself to His disciples. He continues to give Himself to us every time we receive Holy Communion, for He is really present in the Eucharist, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.

"Do you realize what I have done for you?”

Take some time today to meditate on what Jesus has done for you.
