Holy Thursday ~ Jueves Santo

 

Holy Thursday 

Maundy Thursday: 

This is the first day of the Easter Triduum, the most sacred days of the Catholic faith. It commemorates the night before Jesus died and the Last Supper celebrated by Jesus and his disciples.

In the Lord's Supper, He made some unexpected changes in the ritual of the Jewish Passover Meal. Today, we celebrate The Lord’s Supper, following Jesus' command, “Do this in remembrance of me. “ (Luke 22'19)

It was during the Last Supper that Jesus taught his disciples that the Eucharist is truly His Body and Blood. It is the origin of Christian life, providing the life-giving grace of Christ. 

“The Eucharist is the Source and Summit of the Christian life. “ (CCC, 1324) 

This collage shows The Upper Room, traditionally identified as the place of Jesus' Last Supper and the original meeting place of the early Christian community.

The Agony in the Garden: Following the Last Supper, Jesus went to Gethsemane to pray, experiencing severe emotional and spiritual suffering, stating his soul was "exceedingly sorrowful, even to death".
Key Biblical Passages: 
• Matthew 26:36-56 (Jesus prays, disciples sleep, betrayal by Judas)
• Mark 14:32-52 (Jesus’ intense suffering and apprehension)
• Luke 22:40-53 (Sweating blood, angel strengthens him)
• John 18:1-11 (Jesus identifies himself to the soldiers) 

                                JUEVES SANTO - ÚLTIMA CENA DEL SEÑOR

Es el primer día del Triduo Pascual, los días más sagrados de la fe católica. Conmemora la noche anterior a la muerte de Jesús y la Última Cena celebrada por Jesús y sus discípulos.

En la Cena del Señor, Él introdujo algunos cambios inesperados en el ritual de la comida pascual judía. Hoy celebramos la Cena del Señor, siguiendo el mandato de Jesús: "Haced esto en memoria mía. "(Lucas 22:19)

Fue durante la Última Cena cuando Jesús enseñó a sus discípulos que la Eucaristía es verdaderamente su Cuerpo y su Sangre. Es el origen de la vida cristiana, proporcionando la gracia vivificante de Cristo. 

"La Eucaristía es la Fuente y la Cumbre de la vida cristiana. "(CIC, 1324) "
