My dear
Reflections for Maundy Thursday: Something momentous happened in a secluded upper room in Jerusalem…. and moved on from there.

Dust laden feet so caring cleansed
passover meal consumed
fresh covenant in Eucharist gift
prayers made and promises
to loving friends, not servants yet
commandment new he gives:
“Wash feet in service, heal, forgive
as I have done for you.”
“Let us go forth… outside through night
to light of Father’s bid”.
In garden crushed breaks out the sweat
of frail and human form
surrender plea: “If possible…
but yet – your will be done.
My Father let this chalice pass
but yes – your will be done..!”

He teaches us to pray again. With a prayer like that we can be assured that all our other prayers will most certainly be answered!
Recognition of the Father’s will and graceful acceptance of it is a guarantee for a peaceful life despite the challenging circumstances that so often beset us.
Yes, His will be done….
Holy week services in the Jesuit Community…
Prayerful, peaceful Passover to the alleluia glory of Easter.
Take care. Stay blessed. The Father’s will be done.
Love, Terry
