Today’s Reflection
“This evening we relive the Last Supper when, on the night he was betrayed, the divine Savior left us the Eucharistic Sacrifice of his Body and his Blood, the memorial of his Death and Resurrection, a sacrament of love, a sign of unity and a bond of charity” (Sacrosanctum Consilium, 47). Jesus instituted on the first Holy Thursday the sacraments of the Holy Eucharist and of the Priesthood. These two sacraments can be called twin sacraments, because there can be no Eucharist without priests. Tonight, as you do the traditional Visita Iglesia, thank the Lord for giving to his Church these two sacraments.
