With nightfall our Lenten observance comes to an end, and we gather with Christians around the world to celebrate the Three Days of Jesus\u2019 death and resurrection. At the heart of the Maundy Thursday liturgy is Jesus\u2019 commandment to love one another. As Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, we are called to follow his example as we humbly care for one another, especially the poor and the unloved. At the Lord\u2019s table we remember Jesus\u2019 sacrifice of his life, even as we are called to offer ourselves in love for the life of the world.<\/p>\n
