Maundy Thursday

An excerpt from the April 1, 2010 entry in the Daily Reading and Meditation (see link ^__^)

"Does your love waver when you encounter bitter disappointments and injury from others? As Jesus' hour of humiliation draws near he reveals to his disciples the supreme humility which shaped the love he had for them. He stoops to perform a menial task reserved for servants - the washing of smelly, dirty feet. In stooping to serve his disciples Jesus knew he would be betrayed by one of them and that the rest would abandon him through disloyalty. Such knowledge could have easily led to bitterness or hatred. Jesus met the injury of betrayal and disloyalty with the greatest humility and supreme love. Jesus loved his disciples to the very end, even when they failed him and forsook him. The Lord loves each of us unconditionally. His love has power to set us free to serve others with Christ-like compassion and humility. Does the love of Christ rule in your heart, thoughts, intentions and actions?"

I typed it here so it can serve as a ready reminder for me and for anyone who happens to drop by..:)

I'm currently reading Conscience and Freedom by Cormac Burke and Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis..:) In keeping with the Holy Week, I'm stocking up on doctrinal knowledge. It's this time when we are most reminded to reflect on ourselves and renew our faith; that's why, reading up and acquiring a deeper knowledge - and hopefully, understanding - of the Catholic faith is one of my goals this season. However, I also shouldn't forget about reflecting on the Passion of our Lord, which is being commemorated in our Catholic traditions during Holy Week. ^__^

Tomorrow, it will be Stations of the Cross at Grotto, Fairview/Bulacan. ^__^

God bless! :)
