"Go and do to others as I have done to you." This was Fr. Ariel's theme of his Holy Thursday homily. He put it into action by washing the feet of 12 men and then having each of them go and wash the feet of 12 women. It was amazing to see these ordinary men washing the feet of others. True service in action and passing on the message of our Lord.

Go now and do to others what I have done for you.

I had the honor and privilege to make the unleaven bread that was used for communion at our HolyThursday Mass.
The stripping of the altar so the procession of the Blessed Sacrament to our parish hall could begin.
Adoration-many parishioners kept watch till midnight!
How beautiful to participate in such a glorious remembrance of that first Holy Thursday. We are a Eucharistic people. The challenge is to live as such.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. I was especially touched by the kissing of the feet. Fr. Ariel is a true disturbing prescence in this individualistic world. Thank you,
